hot ****, i repeat, hot ****.

i could tell after the first couple of pics they were modeling it similar to the Enzo but its becoming more and more like it !! butt looked pretty big to me but in the last pic not so much. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL !!! alas still expensive... hopefully 360 Modenas will go down in value =P yeah right.

I heard for some silly reason they are gonna call it a 460 Modena even though its a 4.2 liter motor.

I know they're using the Enzo as inspiration in terms of styling, but with those stacked headlamps and its dimensions, it really looks like the Gallardo from the front. I like. In fact I like much more than the current 360. I always felt that the 360 was a step down from the 355 in terms of styling. Kind of how the 612 is a BIG step down from the beauty that was the 456. IMO the 575M is the only looker currently in Ferrari's stable.

Not that I dont like Ferrari's, but is it just me or do most of them look alike??? With the exceptions being the Enzo and the 612 scaglietti.

The rear end is the best looking and that's a good thing because that's all I'll probably ever see of them on the road!

Atleast they're finally utilising the center grille-look again, sort of. I couldn't stand the two seperate grilles on the side on the 360 Modena compared to the single center grille on the F355, 348, and so on. Then Lambo copies with the Murcielago and Gallardo, and made them look horrendous too (just talking about the grilles here, not the cars even though I despise the look of the Gallardo all together). I REALLY hope the pics above are photoshopped, because the car looks like ***. The front looks horribly , and the rear is trying too much to look like an Enzo. The rear grille on that prototype needs to be either widened all the way to the taillights on each side, or needs to be deleted all together. I didn't like the 360 compared to the F355 it replaced, and I hate the 612 Scaglietti compared to the 456GT it replaced, now it looks like the 420M is gonna be hated by me compared to the 360M. I really do not like the way Ferrari is going with their designs. IMO, the purest looking Ferraris were those of the 80's (Testarossa, F40 even though it was made until '92, 308/328), and the 512 TR and M, 348 (came out in '89) and F355, and 456GT of the '90's.

Gev,
Great shots, looks like the "tear drop" front fascia is going to be the direction their running with... I think I like the other one more...oh well.....
