    I know what you mean, I just wanted the black because there are real black Cizeta. Though yes it does hide the detail. The blue looks good, I do agree.

    Well technically, yes the yellow should be a TTJ.

    But the blue/white cars are incorrect technically too - they had the horizontal strakes (not the 3 vertical boomerangs). The blue also looks to 'bright'. And the white/blue/black cars were right hand drive.

    Splitting hairs - but...

    I might see if I can use my down payment toward a blue one instead. I think it will look much better.

    That's another thing, I was really hoping you could choose between the two intake styles. Different strakes for different paints. ;)

    I just went to Canepa Motorsports last weekend, and it was incredible!!!! I did a video up close and personal with the Cizeta prototype, walking around it and explaining some of its unique features.

    I'm hoping people can use this video to debunk the myth that the engine is two V8s bolted together, because it shows a few pictures I took of the engine block out of the Fed seized car.

    I will have some pictures up shortly!!

    Funny you mention that, Bruce was telling us that Giorgio Moroder got in touch with Jay Leno about getting the car fixed. Jay Leno told him he knew somebody, so he set up a 3 way call with Bruce and Giorgio, and Jay said, "Hey Giorgio, here's the guy that is going to fix your car," without even asking Bruce if he could do it. Classic Jay Leno! 😄

    Great story. I wonder why Jay didn't suggest Claudio Zampolli?

    Love those pictures showing absolutely hand crafting car manufacturing, but in this case of one of my favourite cars of all time.

    Just read this entire thread. Wow, just wow.

    Anyhow, I just saw this on YouTube. Shot at Canepa. Firing up the Cizeta. Walk around, etc....

    I cant get past the fact that v16 appears to be 2 ferrari 3.2l v8's put together. The intake, heads, etc all loom to be the same items..right down to the cis injection.

    Yeah, the first thing I thought when I saw the fuel injction was, it looked just like the K-Jetronic on my Countach.
