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





Cheers,

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

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;

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.

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

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.

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.
