Wait a minute...
That body design has been around for a bit now, known as the Ferrari FX. It was supposed to be a concept exercise for Ferrari's next supercar, but I didn't know it would be the F60. It debuted at the Artedinamica: Ferrari and Maserati at the Contemporary Art Museum of Tokyo on April 26th and will make it's international automotive debut (industry standard debut) at the Paris Auto Show on September 26 this year.
They also code named it the F140 (anyone care to illuminate on the reasons why?), but in any case this machine IS the successor to the F40 and F50, regardless of whether it will be called the F60 or FX.
The original F60 designs looked far to much like mutilated F50s, but the FX really brings out the right shape of an Italian mid-engined exotic. Perhaps there is a bit of Lamborghini imagery in there, but nonetheless, the FX shocked me the first time I saw it some time ago, and still continues to do so. One query, what did Ferrari do with all the time and money wasted on the original prototype (with the pop-up round lights)? Or will there be both an F60 and an FX?
