Please tell me it doesn’t have the horrible new monocle taillights we’ve seen in the last few releases. They alone ruin an otherwise beautiful design. Or the stacked exhaust pipes of the California — blech!

Brilliant photoshopping but like some comments mentioned, it looks too clean in its execution.

Nonetheless, the final car whether its a 450 or enzo replacement otherwise will at least be a significant departure in terms of design from the 360, 430 which to be honest is a half cut boot design and ugly if I may say compared to Ferraris of old.

I like how Ferrari has decided to put a proper ‘rump’ in the rear portion and I hope they don’t muck up the final detailing like they did with the California to prevent it from looking better than its more expensive cars when it could be.

This is the direction Ferrari needs to go. Those curvaceous lines are getting me a bit excited
This reminds me of the cars they had in the 60’s, nice curves. I hope it looks like this, I will definitely be a bigger Ferrari fan. It is a bit reminiscent of the McLaren F1 as well…

I don’t feel it Ferrari enough, it looks more like a new brand EV vehicle that reaches 100 mph.
Dunno but I have to pass twice in a row, no California, no F450 (I know it’s a illustration yet).

I see a lot of the R8 base they use for the Illustration, Front window arch, wheels, Roof line etc.

i honestly like the 430 a bit more. i think the windows look a bit too large for the car size.

One last note: I’m not an engineer, but I suspect it might be difficult to produce anything close to the power boosts that exist in F1. Real-world braking is exponentially less than in formula 1, which would seem to make it hard to recover the same amount of kinetic energy.

Could be better
Not as attractive as the California from that angle
A-Pillar is off, beltline is too low in the front

That is sex on wheels.

Johnnycanuck: I did see that race, and it was spectacular. My understanding is that the FIA’s ratio of KERS power to weight is somewhat contrived, in order to balance the playing field for those teams that don’t have the resources or desire to develop a KERS system. The commentary seemed to suggest that KERS could provide a lot more power.

I think the weight of KERS in a road car would also be much less noticeable than in an ultra-pared-down F1 racer. It would be like a built in nitrous boost, and also allow ferrari to incorporate hybrid or electric technologies in a way that wouldn’t piss off petrol-heads. Maybe they’ll make it an option.

The KERS system would be an interesting technical piece to one-up (at least temporarily) the competition. Anyone who watched the season opening F1 race this past weekend probably heard a lot of debate as to whether it was actually worth the extra weight penalty it imposed. Still, it would be kind of neat to be able to hit a switch and suddenly have that extra push at your command.

meh, it’s alright, never really much of a fan for ferrari, more an Aston Marting kinda guy, Illistration is alright, but wheels need to be alot bigger to fill that huge gap lol

” The F450 will take some styling cues from the recently unveiled California”

I hope that doesn’t mean the rear end, thats horrible.

otherwise its good, but nothing compares to the F50, F40 and 355.

If it runs as good as it looks, I may become a Ferrari fan again.

That aside. It’s a lovely car.

Looks well proportioned: Sleek and very low. Headlights open to debate. Now let’s see the final production car.
