Ferrari retro design-is this really what we need?
OK, Enzo is very modern and superb/original designed, thats no clue.But the rest of Ferrari range seems to follow the popular trend of retro-design-and copying their own styling from past...2 examples:
for me, its nothing good, however I appreciate these new cars.Would prefer a new, fresh design anyway, sth really groundbreaking, not just behaving as allbehave.What do you think?

Yes, the cars do have some old design clues, but overall they're quite diferent from the old models. As long as they do this instead of just copying the old designs, i'm cool with that.

The Scaglietti isn't exactly beautiful, but the new F430 is a huge improvement over the 360...even more so in the flesh than in the pictures. It looks like a Ferrari instead of some Japanese vehicle with Ferrari taillamps.

I definitely love Ferrari roots and I definitely like seeing them in modern cars as well. Anyway Ferraris have inherited design cues subtle enough not to categorize them as retro. Another point: the japs and other car manufaturing noobs are killing to earn some heritage, why the fuck should Ferrari lose theirs?

I like it. Personally, I prefer a retro-design instead of a futurisc design with no-sense at all... :roll:

These design parts (the round back lights for example) are also part of the brand "Ferrari", it's like the coke-bottle or the 911-shape.
one could also say
"never change a winning team"
on the other side, some parts were successfully implemented for aerodynamic reason back in the old days, so why change them?

Well, IMO when you see the "new" cars in the metal you can't think it was a wrong way to take.. Both the Scaglietti and 430 have such a powerfull presence!!

as mentioned above, when you see both cars in person and on the road moving then i dont think anyone in the world would have any negative doubts on any Ferrari. But my answer is when it comes to retro stuff I think Ferrari does it perfect. Instead of making a vehicles whole general shape a retro (modernized) shape, they instead make the new shape but implement certain cues from the past into the design philosophy. It sounds the same but isnt.

I'm starting to love the 612 more and more. From the side it's maybe the best looking ferrari... I still feel a bit mixed about the front and back, but the side is perfect.
Thx for the pics, it's cool to see the resemblances. I didn't know the 612 was so heavily based on an old Ferrari. I knew about the front intakes of the 430 but that's just one design detail. With the 612 they just took the old car, proportions & details and trenslated them into the modern world.
