Yeah, but I mean honestly, as far as design goes Ferrari seems to have lost it IMO. Yeah the Porsche fronts aren't my cup of tea either, but they're far better then Ferraris.
Again these are IMOs.

But good points all the same...

True, horsepowers isnt everything. A car can have 600hp but if the total package isnt attractive why do I want 600hp? Nah, people have too much horsepowers on their brains

I bet , a drive in a 977TT and everyone should be satisified. Cause the driving experience is probably out of this world

Ja, maybe, in my opinion though Ferrari's new design direction on this new car seems a good deal more resolved in this F599 than on the 612 Scag. I'm loving those pointy almond shaped headlights for instance and they somehow look awesome on Rinspeed's new Porsche-based concept ironically.

So I suppose it's all down to the subjective nature of car styling and personal preference. I can certainly relate to the fact the Ferrari will alienate most people with their new cars' controversial looks.

It's not just that. Yeah, there are some thing I like/love.
It's that overall it doesn't look sleek/ italin/Ferrari-ish.
It's somehow reminescent of some japanese, and it's looks like faten up overall.
Somehow similar to what VW made with their Golf V, no lonker sleek/edgy but faten up/ bloated over all. Like somehow it received the oposite of a
lipo suction.

1500 kilo, now thats impressive!

I can`t wait for the journalists to get their hands on these cars. Both should be very impressive!

ohh this one is a lot easier than Part I... 911 Turbo in a heart beat. I'm still digesting the Ferrari and this one just isn't as easy to like as the F430.

martinbo · 02-24-2006, 10:16 AM

I guess that would make it a lipo induction.

Still, highly off-topic but that new GTI is the best looking Golf ever imo....

dOmInIX · 02-24-2006, 02:21 PM

This is easy! 911 Turbo of course!!

As you know, I dislike 599GTB from the beggining, and that didn't change even after seeing more pics from presentation!!

911 Turbo is IMO, much more sportier, looks billion times better, it's agressive...It has all I want from a car!!

donau · 02-25-2006, 08:17 AM

As martinbo put it in his opening post: "The 911 is the evergreen supercar for all reasons". Need one say anything more....
