I think it looks great. Nice improvement on the 360's looks.

Things that caught my eye:

483 hp at 8500 rpm up from 400 hp

343 ft-lb at 5250 rpm up from 275 ft-lb

It doesn't give a redline, the 360's was 8500.

Ferrari got lazy. Oops did I say that? :eek:

I like the original 360 body better, I have a model sitting on my desk so I stare at it all day long. I'll take the engine and tranny swap though :)

cars like this give me the constitution to make it to work every day and work at climbing that corporate ladder...i love it, looks pretty damn beautiful, although i liked the way old F355 better in this ferrari segment. who remembers the 348TB? that was a cool ferrari.

I like it, it looks very nice. I'm kind've surprised about those #'s that is a huge increase in performance. I guess Ferrari saw what Porsche did not, that the market is making quantum leaps in performance. 483 hp is nice, it might give the new C6 a run for the money. Nice bump in torque as well.

For your model?

Sweet.

It's good to dream!

I hope it sounds just as good as the old engine :D

Looks like bad Photochop to me, a truely awfull design. Now go look at a Gallardo.
