Thibault LeroyNov 19, 2012 That would be a pretty exact statement
Michael DavidsonNov 19, 2012 So it's going to be VERY expensive.
Cody GillardNov 20, 2012 Please ferrari dont make it look like this you are doing so well with your designs so far this is completely tasteless this rendering
Wyatt GordonNov 20, 2012 the front looks like a flattened 360, the cabin (roof and windscreen + side windows) looks like a bad drawing of a Lancia Stratos and the rear looks like a need for speed Enzo.
Darian VorlickNov 20, 2012 It's just an artists impression. Not an actual rendering.
Jesse WilliamsNov 19, 2012 @Colby: I like the rear end, but the rest I don't.
Luis AbreuNov 19, 2012 I can see this being built to lookalike that....30 years ago??? But not today :(
supra_mkivNov 19, 2012 looks like a 360 with a weird body kit from need for speed underground lol
Dillon MageeNov 19, 2012 I really hope it looks nothing like this.
Shannon SimsNov 19, 2012 This has got to be a joke!!!
Ethan AmoNov 19, 2012 Looks pretty plain if you ask me
Owen TiernanNov 19, 2012 Thankfully, this will never come to fruition.
Timothy HookerNov 19, 2012 this is just gross. no way this is the enzo replacement.
Skylar DrakeNov 19, 2012 Looks like a Lamborghini got rear ended by a LMP1 car.
Emil Creed KleijsenNov 19, 2012 To plain, people complain about cars being to busy, this is the opposite, too sleek
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 Also the car looks too fat and bulgy in the rear ad the wheels are too small, plain, and ugly.
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 People better hope it looks nothing like this(which it won't) because this is absolutely hideous. The front looks so stupid and ugly. Whoever drew this concept has no sense of style or taste. Yes, I think it's just that ugly. Lol

Wyatt GordonNov 20, 2012 I like the way the P1 looks. but I still find the MP4-fax machine too boring looking.
Aj WhiteNov 20, 2012 @JB
The P1 wasn't really a "looks" type of design. They talked about it being 30% for looks/style and 70% for aerodynamics. It was designed in a wind tunnel to do one thing; go fast.
António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 A McLaren will never be a Ferrari for someone that actually loves Ferrari...
Thibault LeroyNov 19, 2012 Mclaren said the P1 was like 90% ready for production
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 I've always liked Mclaren a lot and appreciated the company. The P1 is a dramatic design, no doubt, but one I've fallen in love with already. I love how the taillights are a thin strip running along the back, it's so innovative and different.
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 @JB While what you said is true, Ferrari has beer blown me out of the water with their designs, and I have seen parts of the test mules for this, so I can already tell I like the P1 better. And some may not like the P1, but I find it to be gorgeous.
Owen TiernanNov 19, 2012 To be honest I wasn't crazy about the P1's styling. Im however very excited to see what Ferrari does as they always tend to set the benchmark when they come out with a new flagship model.
Read MillsNov 19, 2012 Same material used to build nuclear reactors?! At least we won't have to worry about engine fires...
JB KolodNov 19, 2012 @colby except the p1 was a style concept and nobody knows what this will look like
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 Yeah, but the P1 looks so much better than this will, and probably utilizes better technology.
Description: The new supercar draws many of its advanced technologies from the company's F1 and FXX programs, and packs a version of the F12's 6.3-liter V12 with 750 to 800 horsepower. Coupled to a 100 h...Add Comments13
Stephen DNov 21, 2012 I'll take a turbo over that any day
António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 Actually I think the hybrid system is not used in supercars to improve fuel efficiency, who cares how much gas an Enzo replacement uses? The electric engine delivers massive torque to compensate the lower low rev torque of a non turbo engine.
Stephen DNov 19, 2012 It's there to meet a fuel economy average not to benefit the car
Stephen DNov 19, 2012 Ok take that hybrid shit off the Ferrari and the formula one cars
Luke PurdyNov 19, 2012 And yeah the Enzo was known as the F60 but Ferrari loved the car so much that they named it under the founder
Luke PurdyNov 19, 2012 Take that hybrid shit off? Really? It's giving the car an extra 100-150 bhp. It acts as a turbocharger
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 Well, some may, but I have never heard any mention of an association between the F60 name and the Enzo, and if it was designated for a race car, then they kind of messed up the rhythm considering the F40 and F50 are production vehicles.
Dirk Austin GreerNov 19, 2012 That "hybrid shit" is Kinetic and is the same tech that they use on formula 1 cars.
Stephen DNov 19, 2012 Take that hybrid shit off of the Ferrari please
Tyler TarboxNov 19, 2012 Looks like a Hot Wheels car
António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 Stop showing us designs you came up with after a few beers! We all know Ferrari had nothing to do with these sketches! Then again, they did build the FF...
Kyle KloewerNov 19, 2012 The people who make these have no idea what Ferrari does in terms of styling.

Jose Miguel FernandezNov 19, 2012 It obviously won't be called the f150 but it does bring an interesting issue i hadn't thought of what will it be called
António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 A Ferrari will never be mistaken for a Ford, call it whatever you want.
Jörgen NilssonNov 19, 2012 Dale: the car Ferrari initially named (but later had to change the name) F-150 wasn't a supercar, it was their F1-racer. That was what Topgear thought was funny and a little ridicoulus (noone will ever mistake the one for the other).
Thibault LeroyNov 19, 2012 Yeah its like the mclarent P1, its the sucessor to the F1 but its not the same car so not the same name
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 @Nick Yeah, agreed, I don't really care what they name it anyways. Lol
Adam GrayNov 19, 2012 @owen the ford gt wasn't a successor to the mustang tho. It was a successor tithe gt40 which it shares a similar name with.
Owen TiernanNov 19, 2012 @Colby they won't call it the Enzo because it would deface the current Enzo and probably lower it's value. Also, this is not an updated Enzo. This is a new car. It's just like How Ford didn't call the Ford GT a Ford Mustang... Cuz its not.
Dale PedrickNov 19, 2012 They did get in trouble for using F-150 name. Top gear made some jokes about the difference between a large pick up and a supercar. But they aren't allowed to use the name
Skylar DrakeNov 19, 2012 Agree, F150 is a horrible name, and I have a feeling Ford will have it trademarked if they haven't already.
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 Why wouldn't they just call it the Enzo again? Just an updated form.
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 F150? I don't think so. That would belong to a Fors truck. Lol. That would be a stupid name.

António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 I hope they call it Pininfarina. One of the greatest car designers died this last summer and naming the car after him would be a well deserved tribute to a great man. RIP Sergio Pininfarina
Justin RouthNov 19, 2012 Wow dillon you know pontiac IS chevy right? Just rebadged mostly
Dillon DixonNov 19, 2012 Chevy did not make the GTO, Owen. It was clearly Pontiac. And Mr. Delorean himself noted that he got the name from The 250 GTO. So he did give recognition.
Aaron CrispNov 19, 2012 What's the difference between the two guys below me and 6 dicks? They can't take a joke.
Owen TiernanNov 19, 2012 @Colby Maybe Chevy should stop copying Ferrari actually such as their GTO name. Why Chevy even made a car called the Monte Carlo is beyond me.
JB KolodNov 19, 2012 @colby your comments are all based off of speculation. Nobody knows the cars will be called the F150 and Monte Carlo, they probably won't, that just what the press is calling them. Stop assuming the press=Ferrari
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 First they copy Ford with "F150" and now Chevrolet with "Monte Carlo"? Get outta here Ferrari. :P
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 @Nick Yeaahhh, well this was a "Ferrari" design challenge, not a "Lotus" design challenge. And this is clearly a failed design, idc what it looks like, it is a far cry from something Ferrari would actually build and put their name on.
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 Ben is the kid who designed this car. :)
Ben HislopNov 19, 2012 Now that's what I'm talking about, it looks great.
António Villas-BoasNov 19, 2012 All these designs are very aspirational, they make me think I could also be a car designer!!! :-)
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 @Christopher I actually do design cars as a side hobby using 3D CAD, and my designs all look much better than these, but thanks anyways buddy.
Pratik ParijaNov 23, 2012 One of my favorite design in the bunch here.
Mateo MaduroNov 23, 2012 Reminiscent of Glickenburg's unique P4/5 ferrari.... Hate the nose though would look excellent with the front of the previous rendering
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 I see the Pagani in here, but I doubt it was intentional. Often when I'm designing a car, I have to change certain elements throughout because I realize that they look like another car. Common mistake.
Dillon DixonNov 19, 2012 This kid designed the Huayra without even knowing it! Haha It's as if he looked into the future.
Kyle MullinsNov 19, 2012 I feel like all of these designs are just trying too hard. Whatever happened to the simple, yet beautiful classics like the 250, and the F40, even the testerossa!
Erich EngelNov 19, 2012 This is very close to the marussia b1
Colby ChurchNov 19, 2012 This is actually decent, it just needs nicer headlights in a different location. Put some aggressive angular headlights lower down and we've got a winner.
Johnny HooverNov 19, 2012 This one actually looks like a Ferrari
But it will look completely different
That would be a pretty exact statement
So it's going to be VERY expensive.
