Sounds great! Is this the 140 that's been rumoured?

....And why another GT? Why?...... I thought with the 599 / 612 Ferrari would be covered in that respect. :ohmy:

sounds awesome, looks like they put the 599's AMT on it...

AMT?

*Ah. I know what it is now. You're the first person to call sequential manual an AMT. I always called it SMG.

Anyways, they'd put the F1 sequential in everything, and most of this model will probably get it too, since this is aimed at lazy "poor" GT crowd.

They've been taking good notes from the Porsche book of marketing. ;-)

Im definitely not the first hehe, I just like to use AMT as the umbrella name for SMG's now since all the different manufacturers have their own names for it. Ferrari has their "F1" gearbox and BMW actually calls it SMG, so on and so forth.

looking forward to seeing the real thing... it isn't getting a flat plane crank v8 though right?

It's supposed get a "new" 8 cylinder. I thought if they were making a cut-cost GT, they'd use the "Ferrari" version of the "Alfa Romeo" 4.7L V8. I do believe the Alfa 8C has a flat plane crank.

Super smiley grille? Vertically stacked exhaust pipes?!

hmmm... looks a lot like a GT-R - any chance its a licensed GT-R from Nissan?

Afterall, it is the greatest car evah... so Ferrari could make it easier on their engineers by simply rebadging it ;)

-1 for RC. :-(

Although... that would make a great business plan for Ferrari and Nissan. There have been rumors of 4WD Ferrari. Where better to start than the best car in the world? ;-)

LOL ^ sigh :)

I'm impressed Ferrari have kept this car under wraps so well. Usually there are spy-photos and more accurate photos leaked months before unveiling. Ferrari have kept the lid on this release quite well; and the anticipation quite high!

Well, actually, if you think about it, this car is supposed to be revealed at the Paris show in October. All Ferrari did was reveal the car wayyy early to the public themselves. ;-)
