Hi all,

I've been browsing this site for a while and thought it was about time I added something.

Here's my vision of the ultimate Ferrari. Please let me know what you think. I do have more images if you're interested.

Thanks

It would actually be easier if you removed the watermarks.
No offense, it´s a cool car but i doubt anyone would steal it from you.

Atleast decrease the opacity of it.

I love it!
Although I feel the rear wheels could be a tad closer for a shorter wheelbase.

Sorry mate...your car looks very much like Ferrari Rossa designed by Pininfarina in 2000, and the sides of testarossa as I said before...having the rear of the 458 spider/430 spider etc

Thanks Timbo,

I designed it about two years ago, and thought it was near prefect, but as I look at it now I agree, the wheelbase is a bit long.

I have taken inspiration from previous Ferraris (don't they all?) particularly the 250Testarossa. Also the 288GTO, the Maserati Birdcage concept and the Alfa Romeo disco volante. Perhaps I should've called it the Italian DNA! :)

If Ferrari get back to Le Mans don't let'em steal your design. J/K but it is good looking

Either the wheels are too small or the car is very big (wide and long, about the size of Hummer H1).
The racing version looks way better, most likely because it lacks the plasticky-looking grey and dark grey bits.

Nice work. IMHO "Ferrari DNA" must includes some elements from the classic 1966-67 206SP and 330 P3/P4. Just my opinion -- all I can draw is flies.
