Ferrari's new Testarossa
http://www.motortrend.com/news/2027-ferrari-849-testarossa-first-look-review?
Hmmm.... I doubt if I'll ever see one IRL, and it really doesn't matter what I think, really, but this view doesn't flatter... ![]()

I think it looks more like a 308 tribute, especially the front end. It’s not a Testarossa without side door strakes. Yes I’m a child of the ‘80s…

The front end is 308 below, with Daytona on the top.
The cabin reminds me of a little of a one-off P4/5 that a guy commissioned years ago at huge expense. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_P4/5_by_Pininfarina

The only modern supercar that I would say is really beautiful is the T.33 from Gordon Murray. The fan on the T.50 makes the rear end look cartoonish, but the front end is lovely.

Gordon Murray S1LM is the best looking supercar I've seen in a long time...

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Beautiful. Didn't one guy buy them all? Or am I misremembering?

Is it time for Ferrari to start making retro cars? Pay tribute to when they still made sexy cars....

The new one is ugly and I don't see why they have to keep recycling the names.
Doesn't matter, I quit Ferrari years ago so I'll never again be a customer and therefore my opinion means nada. |

If they want to do Retro, do a proper Stratos powered by Ferrari.

I could do that. It would look better if the gap was filled in, even with just a mesh grill or the classic Ferrari grid grill of many years. It would take a lot of work to not to make it worse, though.
