Richard Bartrop Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Proof that elegant design isn't a lost art. A recent one off from Ferrari, but I won't be too upset if people start copying this. Edited May 23, 2018 by Richard Bartrop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobdude Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 WOW what a beauty! Tamiya or Fujimi please step up to the plate. Fingers and toes are crossed and it most likely it still won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belugawrx Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 From the nose to the back of the doors looks a little like the new Ford F40... I like the back deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman63 Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I like the back deck as well. Nice looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Looks like the one off SP12EC that Ferrari built for Eric Clapton. Which is a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Remarkably restrained and relatively clean for something built recently. I could suffer through owning it, somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysleder Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Say, am I the only one who think it looks like an updated Lancia Stratos more than anything else? https://goo.gl/images/KqHPtZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger U Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Beautiful. Much cleaner and nicer looking than other present day exotic cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonW Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Ferrari has gone quite a long way backwards in 54 years, to my eyes. Yes the new car is better looking than most of its peers (thanks for posting it Richard) but imo doesn't match up to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Creative Explorer Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Supposedly, it is influenced by the Ferrari F40, except for the frontbumper, which is influenced by the 308/328. Call me silly, but I don't see either of it. Eric Clapton's was influenced by a BB and I can see that. But still, the simplicity and elegance of Ferrari's till the mid nineties are gone. For me, the last beautiful 'sculpted' is the 550 and 360. From the 430 on, it is overdesigned and the flair is gone. But who cares, I can't buy them anyway :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I think if we want attractive hypercars, we can look no further than this. The new McLaren Senna. Not nearly as garish and over the top as that Apollo, yet still bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be some reason to most of its "aero" styling, other than just an overly nervous CFD program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_fluid_dynamics Edited May 25, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If there’s one thing you can guarantee with McLaren, it’s that every bit of that aero does something. The Senna is track focused, where getting aerodynamic downforce without increasing drag is the name of the game. They’re world leaders at it, which is why the “affordable” 720S of this year is to all intents and purposes as quick as the million-pound P1 hypercar of only a year or three back. You can debate “ugly”, but there’s nothing on the Senna that’s “pointless...” best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
