Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / June 2006more 599 GTB
But then, in this pic it just looks like another Viper. And these pics are from Ferrari! http://seriouswheels.com/2006/2006-Ferrari-599-GTB-Outside-Left-1280x960.htm  SignatureAnd if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear You shout and no one seems to hear. And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes I'll see you on the dark side of the moon > But then, in this pic it just looks like another Viper.

The hard "outline view" of the car isn't particularly kind. It looks far better live. T308 I know it sucks....... I become less and less impressed with Ferrari as of late with each Nouveau model.

I haven't read it yet, but the blurb says the car outperforms the F40. I'm looking forward to reading it. To be honest, that is quite an accomplishment for what is basically the gentleman's coupe in their lineup. And the shot on the story of the mainpage, taken from directly behind the car at speed, is good. That's the part of the car I really like. The rest .... I suppose I would definitely be looking at it had I $250K to drop on a ride because I bleed red, black and yellow - but it doesn't scream "excitement" at me. I bet if I could drive one I'd be writing the check. It's easy to criticize when one's a looker and not a buyer, we've always had that discussion here. Signature"Aerodynamics is for people that can't build engines" Enzo Ferrari There is a new review of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano here http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/index.php?menuID=3&subID=586 Seems Niel Lyndon was impressed saying the message it isends is "If you want to see how to create a car which draws upon a company's splendid history and, simultaneously, advances its traditions beyond previous expectations - look over here." > There is a new review of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano here "The Pininfarina-designed 599 GTB is recognisably a descendant of the 1959 250GT SWB" I quite agree. It seems to me that Pininfarina always manage to echo the past in contemporary design - and do it very well. 'Ya boo sucks' (or similar) to anyone who says it 'looks Japanese' - it's the other way round.

I understand you want to believe that, and believe me I share your desire, but the cars the 599 directly steals from, specifically the C6 Vette and Mitsubishi Eclipse, were designed and produced long ago and have been driving the roads for years now. Nice blurb, anyway. But a very cool magazine, I'm going to take a look at that as often as possible. > There is a new review of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano here > http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/index.php?menuID=3&subID=586 > Seems Niel Lyndon was impressed saying the message it isends is "If you > want to see how to create a car which draws upon a company's splendid > history and, simultaneously, advances its traditions beyond previous > expectations - look over here." > It's easy to criticize when one's a looker and not a buyer, Discriminating taste can neither be rented nor purchased. |
