Reminds me of an Audi/Lambo. Not bad but I'd rather have the 430 Scuderia. I didn't read the article in the link but I think MT said they were dropping the F1 trans for a double clutch setup. Not a good idea IMO. They need to do something nobody else does.
.. A combo would be sweet, do they make one? Like a manual that also has drive?

Never heard that. As far as I know the Vanderbrink car MIGHT be made, and it will be on a one by one basis. Vanderbrink's not gonna care if you have a 430 Scuderia, as long as you have money. Last I heard he was having issues getting permission from Ferrari on the look of the car.

Most do a double clutch manual not the F1 shift so the F1 shift was unique. The double clutch setup is supposed to be better around town but the F1 would be faster on a track. I'd love to test that 40ms shift time and then see if I wanted a stick and clutch again.

i heard it was the F450 also, so im guessing 4.5L V8 but its all speculation. thats a "rendering" so i dont trust it THAT much. besides, its hideous.
as for the F40/F50 debate, the F40 LM is well, insane. if youd like a clip, ignore the french F1 driver, and listen to the roar of that thing.

Ferrari, Maserati, Aston Marton, Toyota and others have used a automated manual. Ferrari just calls it "F1". They both (F1/DSG) have there advantages/disadvantages. I still prefer a regular 3-pedal manual. It still offers more fun and driver involvement....

this is a beautiful render... this would be the first supercar i'd fall in love with... its sexy i want a model NOW mmmmmm i want to have sex with it 
THAT is the epitome of class... it looks like a sculpture or a fine painting.
for that picture in the OP... i'd be severely disappointed...
it looks so unclassy, no more finesse. Just another modern car trying to look like something else....

Ferrari's F1 and BMW's trannsmission (name slips right now sorry) are both based on manual transmissions, they are truly manual.Ferrar's have no auto mode you simple shift or done go right? At least the 360. The dual clutch trannys are based an automatics right?
