Or fare thee well Phil.

Okay fellas, back on task...

Somewhere it was mentioned that one of the known features of this new car would be the way it channeled air past the headlights. (I can't remember the source, but it's in the thread somewhere.)

So I've been thinking since the first Pininfarina design contest that the Enzo's successor would be ORIGINALLY conceived by one of the winners, and later refinished by Ferrari or Pinin.

The immediate car in this link shows the most similarity to what we've heard about the aero as well as the canopy (with matching accent lines off the spy-photos) etc. It's interesting to say the least.

Were they to produce something outrageous like this that had performance equal to it's looks, then Ferrari could well justify the price that Luca claims will be a surprise to everyone

Thought so. Thanks for the clarification

Great find, I hope this is what it looks like!

Cool if a bit cartoonish. The cabin looks way too narrow for real world owners. Some of the ducting could certainly see production though.

[MalibuGuy]

Is it my imagination, but looking at the pics of the test mule, I can see a lot of this design winner peeking through the camo.

Of course, the extreme narrow cabin would probably become wider and more user friendly. But the front bumper could easily use the design winners shape. And the ducting on the front hood would also work well. The sides of the test mule could also be concealing the same side design of the contest winning design, but again slightly less extreme.

The rear end of the test mule looks very close to the overall shape and taillight of the contest winning design.

In any event, the new car is going to be a very pleasing design, even if it doesn't use this design. Why? Because if Ferrari chose something different, it must be very close to this already nice design, but even better!

Two versions shown in the illustration...

You guys might be on to something.

I went back and found these from the student who won the 2011 design contest. Very interesting.

Here is the potential name written on the prototype--"Eternita".
Second guess "Liberta"....

I'm sorry, but that is hideous. Outrageous, that's for sure...and I know that "outrageous" is often the goal of concepts like these, but I could never see that on the road...not in this millennium that is...

[Amzamus]

Sorry guys, but the only one that has an oportunity of becoming a future Ferrari is the Xezri. The design of the F80 or the F90 could be similar. But the winner looks like something that can be in production at least in 2050, for that reason is the winner.

Found these the other day

[JeremyJon]

there have been a few ferrari concepts for potential use in the design, i posted up before here
http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpos...&postcount=407
..but none of them show a truly innovative front ed design like we hear about

IMO chances are a through body aero design, more like lemans P1/P2 cars utilize, which could explain that we are seeing a "false nose" on the pictures of test mule

if you look closely at the pictures again, you can see the side pods are very strange, and imagine the front nose as being removed and a completely different (more complex) one in it's place

with front like that car would be looked extremely well but there will be no space for front radiator http://www.autopartslib.com/wp-conte...gram_thumb.png

i didnt say it would look like that, but will likely incorporate flow-through aerodynamics of lemans P1/P2 cars ....yes multiple radiators could be incorporated into such a design, think panoz cars as example
