I dont know if you guys care, but here are some nice shots of the new(620hp!!!!) Ferrari 599 GTB. Wifey works for the Ferrari dealership here in VA. Ferrari North American held a little press conference at the dearlship yesterday. Let me know if you want to see any others.

Hey CB,

Not in that one, but she's been in the boss's F40, and the 250 SWB. Those are some bad ass cars, let me tell ya! :wink: I'm not a huge fan of the newer cars, but that 599 looks completely bad ass in person.

Very cool. Reminiscent of the Daytona's overall shape.

Tracker will probably buy one.

 

[HiVel]

Very nice auto! They require a $250,000.00 get in line fee!! I wuz gonna buy one but I am into instant gratification and can't wait.

 

[R100Pilot]

I'm waiting for them to fix the mushy brakes :-D

HiVel...I think only 255 are coming stateside..so dont wait too long, the sales guy said $265,000...

1050.. I have a pic from the rear on my camera at home, I'll post later. The skirts behind the door windows are kinda cool...like big vents that direct the air over the tail for added downforce

OK CB,I know you like the 1956 Caddy front end better than anything so don't knock a buttman.

 

[itchin]

Kinda off topic but does anyone remember a car from the sixties called the Cheetah? Any pics and info would be cool. I think it was chevy powered and was supposed to go up against the GT40.

 

[itchin]

Why the hell is this post so friggin huge?

 

[bkrbil]

Here's a picture of the Cheetah for you.

 

[tealetm]

I really don't think that's fair to Ferrari. I think the design has more in common with Ferrari's own old 12-cylinder, front-engine models like the 250 GTO, 275 GTB, etc. Of course it's been updated, but in a way consistent with the styling of Ferrari's own F430 . . .

250GTO:

275GTB:

F430:

 

[huff955]

You are right Crumudgeon, I think it follows the line of the 250 pretty close. The 250 was the coolest car they ever made in my opinin, followed by the 250LM. Although, the 430 makes some fantastic noise!! Its not the same as one of those old V-12's on song though :-D
