Apparantly this isn't a Lotus Elise it's a Ferrari Dino coming out in 2010....



anyone think its got a ickle little bit of a resemblence?.........


RazMan - 7/12/06 at 10:46 PM

Mmmmmm I LIKE it whatever it resembles - actually a little retro for a change

It also looks a bit like a Porsche, a 350Z and I think I can even see some SLK in there. I like it though cos it's red and it's a Ferrari.

Don't really see any resemblance.

More aggressive and better looking, in my opinion.

But, is obviously going to be a lot more money, to buy and run.

Which one would be more reliable?

I agree - it looks a bit like wehat Jeremey Clarkson refers to as the "Porsche Gayman"... the general shape, anyway, if not the nose/grill

Is that a girl driving it?
Whatever next, he says awaiting Fozzie flack

that car is effing beautiful.
Ferrari are now making some good looking cars again with the 430, 599 and this Dino.

Wish i could afford one

Thats very nice indeed. Alot better style than the others theyv been making recently.


JoelP - 8/12/06 at 07:31 AM

looks a little unferrari like, doesnt follow their recent themes. And the headlights are VERY exige/elise.


SeaBass - 8/12/06 at 08:28 AM

Didn't the designer of the original Elise have a DINO 246 GT at the time... So hardly a surprise.

You can clearly see the lineage;

But this one's got a big smiley face........

Nice!

I've always liked the 246GT and years ago wanted to build a replica kit of one but couldn't afford it.

I now know what my middy will resemble! Thank you Ferrari for the inspiration!

Are you sure it's not a photoshop job?

Compare this


with the one of the "Ferrari" on the same rock.

yes please!! I'll take mine in black.

Must fish a pic out of the Alfa 8c Competitzione, very similar too.


iank - 8/12/06 at 11:35 AM

If it's a photoshop job I'd suggest Ferrari or Porsche find him and offer him a job. It's nicer looking than the original picture.


Marcus - 8/12/06 at 11:36 AM

8c
8c


Ok not even close really!

Looks like a photshop amalgam of an elise and a Cayman to me, with a couple of Ferrari bits thrown in to make it look like the car they are writing about.


akumabito - 8/12/06 at 03:19 PM

Holy crap! I'll take the classic Ferrari over that POS any time!
