Ferrari New Cali Restyle + V12

[Veyron]

In order to get this car more to my liking I installed the sail panels from the 599 to make it look like a true hard top.

Not much I could do with it's thick behind... but I did change the rear design somewhat by getting rid of the frowning inserts which were at the ends of the recessed area. I had to rescribe some trunk lines.

I will duplicate the side vent inserts and install two in the hood per picture.

That will be all of the body mods because I don't want to get too far from a factory look. After I get the bodywork finished I will cast it so I can make a full race GT2 version with matching sail panels.

The V12 engine is from the 599 but it will have Enzo cam covers. The engine swap is pretty easy except for adapting the Cali V8 snorkels to the V12 plenum.

Wheels are 19" and 20" Hobby Design.

I knew the Cali would look better as a dedicated HT. Can't wait to see GT2 version.

Am I the only one who thinks that Ferrari's inspiration for the tail lights for their later cars(430,Enzo,399,California,612,and Italia) is the full size '65 Chevy?Sure looks very close.

Some piece of just about every car looks like a piece of some other car...that's just how it is.

Ferrari used pairs and quads of round taillights of various sizes long before the '65 Impala. And considering they were mostly pairs or quads, a better example would be a Biscayne or Bel Air. But no...when I see the taillights on a Ferrari, if they don't remind me of Ferrari, they might remind me of a Corvette.

Beautiful! The changes to the body make a huge improvement over an already great-looking car.

That picture is proof that money don´t buy taste.....
I´m guessing that the Bentley is from the styling firm Mansory? It sure looks like it....

Awesome conversion there Veyron! Keep up the good work!

I would have thought Mansory too, but theirs is almost tasteful by comparison

I don't know who did it (and I'd rather not )...I googled image searched "gay bentley continental GTC" and there it was on the first page
