These are actually nice, yet so different from each other.

This would be a little strange given pedestrian safety concerns. I'm not sure if supercars have to conform to certain standards, but one of the reasons today's supercars are taller and fatter than those of yesteryear is particularly due to crumple zones and pedestrian safety concens. I know they need to pass crash tests, and that carbon monocoques (i can never spell this) are incredibly strong and all of that, but I think there's a distinct reason why LMP-type through body aero hasn't widely been adopted in hypercars.

I'm probably totally wrong here, but it's something to think about...

Maybe it depends on how many cars produced? If maybe the number is low, say 500, they might be exempt of certain rules? I'm just guessing, based on cars like the Arial Atom and some other open body type low production cars.

Ferrari does have to adhere to various international laws for impact pprotection and crash worthiness, new pedestrian safety laws, when they go into effect

look at the enzo, a tri-nosed design can be engineered for both, including housing cooling apparatus, this is all completely do-able

I found these and based on the mule, I could see the car having a similar design. This concept was intended to be the next generation Testarossa.

You can really see the forerunner of the Enzo and other styling cues. Way ahead of its time.

There's no way that preceded the Enzo (more like Oct 2010): http://www.automotto.com/entry/ferra...0s-testarossa/

I see this car being more of a successor to the Enzo. If Enzo's successor were to look like that I think I'd go out and rob a few banks to get on the wish list when someone flips their car. Wow that is absolutely stunning & beautiful from all angles.

I hope that Ferrari does have a "successor" to the 80s TR. The TR is the car that made me the Ferrari nut I am today.

Sorry. I thought this was an 80s design just found. You are right. It came later. But it is still cool.

Wow, I really like the looks of the Xezri.

“This project must be the source of the highest level of technology characterizing a unique car, which is absolutely innovative and represents the quintessence of Ferrari past and present and looks to the Ferrari of the future. Lightweight, simple and striking with a distinctive engine and special futuristic design: every last detail of the Ferrari Xezri exudes uncomprising sportiness as a direct result of its links to the concept: “Xezri”. Xezri designed for owner for whom the priority is on uncompromising on-road performance occasional track day capability, but who still demand a car that is useable in day-to-day driving like all Ferrari’s models.”

It won the second price, but for me looks better that the Eternita.
