Yeah it does look a little busy. Sacrifices looks for the functional aspects of the car. A modern Ferrari should do both. Not a nice balance.

It doesn't have as many scoops as a Lotus Elise though.

There are directly conflicting accounts of the new front-engined successor to the Maranello in the autoZines for March 2006.
 
Automobile shows the version above and says the car will be named 599GTB and have around 600HP from 6 liters while the new CAR(UK) shows a less aggressive but more attractive car similar to the 612 Scaglietti and tells us to expect 575 HP from the 6 liter V12 and says it'll be called the F600 Imola.
 
They can't both be right , but they could both be wrong

Ferrari's heritage is so rich that its difficult to compare it with Aston Martin.
 
Ferrari is a high-revving Sports car with an almost ethereal driving experience. Ferrari's design is in its engine, its steering, its suspension. Aston's design is in its skin.
 
Besides aston has made sedans in the past and will make them in future too. Ferrari on the other hand is pure 2-door car-maker, the last of its kind, expesially since porsche changed its course 3 years ago.
 
In F1, Ferrari: 15 wins Aston: 0.
LeMans Ferrari: 9 wins Aston: 1
 
Comparing Ferrari and Aston is like comparing a stallion with Pamela Anderson, not a good idea.

CAR is simply late with the info. Automobile has the actual pics and specs while CAR has a spy photo/creation.

Regardless of our preferences, we can all agree, Ferrari's kick ass! I recently had a 575 Maranello, Black, pull up beside me in San Francisco on a business trip. I was following my boss, and he was beside her in her CLK 430. Sweet combo right there!

Yessss ... I could see myself in the 599 too!

GTB appear in the new (May '06?)
EVO(UK) and I must say the new Ferrari GTB looks smashing. I wasn't sure about the "flying buttresses" aft of the cockpit but they're starting to look good to me.
 
Thirty and some years ago I had to get used to the glass nose on early Euro model Daytonas but now I think that's the way to have your 365 GTB/4 (if only...)

When I started this thread, nobody knew that the 600 would become the 599 - and I am pretty much shure this is the BEST FERRARI EVER. Sure we all have our favorites, and the classic Ferrari's are nice, the Enzo's a beast - but for an all around car you can drive almost every day, the 599 is pretty spectacular. Should I ever have the means, the 599 will be mine. In the interim, however long that might be, I'll just enjoy another masterful creation by the best exotic manufacturer in the world = Ferrari!

Hey, we're glad you started this thread. I changed the title to "599" so that others can find it.
