away from the ugly 470, 550 and 612.
not 550. that yellow study is too ugly. looks like what lamborghini would make. doesn't look like what pininfarina himself would draft.

I think the front hood looks like an aston martin vanquish, it has bulky stance above the wheel arches. I also think the lights look like they came off a Gallardo, and for the rest of the car i just don't know. BUT, i think it looks nice.

Nice model, in agreement with the actual style

First voices say that the car is long 4.7 metres, with a step (from wheel to wheel, I don't know the exact term ops: ) of 2.75 metres and 620 - 630 Hp...

whoa that'd be more like it it looks awesome, very futuristic, although i think it misses the classy-ness of the 550. i do doubt that htis is the real car though, i think it is indeed a student project

Not sure if they're new, but this is the first time I've seen them:




Supposedly, the pics were taken in Spain... why would Ferrari be testing in Spain?

I have a feeling that the F600 is gonna be stunning...

Man, it is looking good so far. When is this car expected to debut? And why are Ferrari cars F (xxx) now? What happened to just naming them 360 Modena or 550 Maranello?

I don't really like the 612's look and I don't really appreciate the 550/575's look either so I make a pray and hope this one will be good looking :roll:

Yeah, I don't think Ferrari has called their F430 as a Monza before. Nothing official anyways. Definitely more Personality. When you call up the name, everyone knows exactly what it is. When you called up number, people aren't sure.

I remembe quite a few years ago, I was talking to a Honda/Acura marketing executive. I asked him why Acura was going towards to new moniker of RL/TL/RSX/TSX/MDX instead of the old of Legend, Integra, or Vigor. His reply was that their marketing notice that people are only familiar with the names and not the brand. People weren't saying Acura Legend, they were just saying Legend. "I drive a Legend." So they wanted to change it so that people would say "I am driving an Acura TL" or "I drive an Acura RSX".

I beg to differ. Now people say I drive an TL, and people aren't sure what a TL is unless you say Acura TL. Where as when you said you drove a Legend, people knew exactly what it was.

Vigor, Legend, Integra all sound funky. But as for the Ferrari monikers, many many Ferraris were without non-numerical names anyways. And will Ferrari recycle old names such as Modena, Testarossa, and Maranello? or will they move on to things like Imola, Monza, Balocco, Mugello, and Vallelunga? cause Vallelunga would make a hell of a car name!
