The first pic is definately a pshop i mean look at the vents and headlights there were obviously modified from a 360. The second one looks real though....

I doubt it.....Ferrari will not let something like that happen.........
the rear end is fucked up ..... I think someone just photoshoped an Enzo rear end bits into the 360 as a joke

wow that looks like shit I'm sorry but if that is really the new one they didn't put much effort into designing it, the ass is straight off the Enzo and smooshed together to fit on the smaller Chassis. I am disapointed in Ferrari if this is the new one.
Also why the hell would Ferrari test a car in Mexico?

Hum ! it could be real but then it's frightening !!!!!!! They would have spoiled the original which was already critizised at launch and needed some time to get used to ...

If it's the definitive shape then they try to make it look like even more to the Ferrari F156 "Sharknose".
They should really fired their designers in Pininfarina !!

I'm pretty sure that both images are real as well...kind of bittersweet though...the front end looks reasonably good I think, except for the fact that they tried to do a little too much with the "Shark-nose" look...if they smoothed off the area in the middle and made it flow into the intakes, the center part of which should not be black, but bodycolor, it would look a lot better... The rear is nice enough, but a little bit dumpy, and one of the things I loved about the 355 and 360 was that the area around the light clusters and across the back of the car could be black instead of bodycolor...here it will be significantly more difficult to make that sort of arrangement work. Not nearly as aggressive looking to my eyes.
