New Ferrari Dino Official Shots

Yeah the rotors do not quite bed into the calipers and the tyre is on backwards, the rear rotor seems TOO large. Either way, thats some amazing 3D concept mocks I must say.

And the tire tread is on backwards...

Yet, it looks beautiful.

Have to say that is very visualy similar to the 8c and about 2 other steeds...again, nice either way and the overall design of the shell seems a bit more refined than the 8C, even the front is well balanced...yet I would make more than a few changes while its in the the mock mode.

Actually I dissagree with you there. These appear to be more like 3D moddled and rendered in PS rather than the initial mocks on Pg 1. These concepts also appear to be less refined and more like working concepts with many areas of contention and akward use of line and space contrasts. The rear panal is terrible on these pics and the front here is also not working well with the concept of the car.

Much prefere the initial renderings on Pg 1.

Oh baby baby that is a thing of beauty

I might just cancel my 8C order

Funny, was thinking of cancelling the GT S order actually.

Moved to Other Marques Lounge

Oh wow...to own that I would cancel my...erm, everything to get my mits on that beauty. Divorce my wife, sell the kids - oh wait, I dont have kids yet...? Well, when I do Ill sell them too.

Shocking news:

The Entry level Ferrari, won't be an entry level car at all

Pervious reports that this car was to be a new Dino type Ferrari, priced sub £100,000, have proved to be very wide of the mark."

Article here: clickatyclick

Actually the final design of the 149 is not that appealing to me...the previous renderings were more vivid and bold, this final concept is far from catching other than the fact that its a Farrari. So...8C please!!!!

That's not a final design Astro, just another artist impression

On here, yeah I know. But I checked out some pics online for the 149 and from what I can tell regarding final roughs, its not that appealing. But I do not claim to know this market well enough to find prelim mocks though.

Well when I win the lotto I will get one of those and an 8C spider.

Anything else??

Some tips regarding the possible specifications of the new F149:

Like too many modern Ferrari's, it looks a bit bland and sterile. Like an engineering project on wheels, designed on a computer screen according to set rules, rather than by a designer with a passion.

The point remains, BF. Modern Ferrari's just lack sometihng or other that they've had in abundance in the past. they perform better, look purposeful enough, sound nice, but somehow don't stir the soul like a Ferrari should

Strange, but true.

Perhaps. The fact is they've become a lot more common and that is probably part of the reason why they've lost that "special something".

looks like a corvette stingray or sting ray, the 70's one, which ever that one was.
