It looks very unbalanced; tail-heavy. Strange for a Ferarri.

you mean nose-heavy? looks like that car tips on the front two wheels when it slams on the brakes.

No, the tail looks like it would want to come around front in a corner. Figure the engine is in the rear; tranny is probably under the seats or rearward, so the only thing up front is a set of golf clubs and some lightweight suspension components.

Looks like a 70 / 30 Rear / Front weight split.

If someone GAVE me a Toyota Corolla, I'd drive it most of the time and keep the miles off my CL-S.

Ouch.

I'm guessing pininfarina wasnt involved in that monstrosity.

It reminds me of those Fiero ferrari kits.

I don't like it.

Add another SPOKE and the wheels look just like the 2003 Type-S.

The F60 definitely turned out to be ugly, everyone knew it was going to be just by the spy shots and what not.

Ferarri shows its best car, the F60



This is the only photo released by Ferrari as a concept car called the FX. It will be shown at the Tokyo auto show. Then the final car will be shown at the Paris auto show in Sept of this year.

The engine is a 6 liter V12 making about 650HP.

The tranny is a 7! speed sequential.

0-62.5mph in LESS than 3 seconds!

Top speed is 368 k/h or 228.7 mph.

Notice that the car is missing a rear spoiler! It also looks a lot like an F1 car from the front.

Price is estimated to be more than $492,000.

I think they went overboard with this car. Too much of everything,
but if someone hand me the keys, I'd drive it for a day, and then
trade it in for a Diablo+S600+Hummer. One for every occasion..

I like it. It just needs a big shoppingcart wing on the back, some chrome hubcaps, a fartpipe, and an off-center (preferably crooked) yellow racing stripe and it'd be the world's most expensive rice.

j/k

I do kinda like it though. And the thought of hearing more screaming Ferrari gearbox shifts from that 7-speed is just wonderful!

Anybody else notice that it appears that it's set up just like the McLaren F1 as a three-seater with the driver front and center?

Reminds me a lot of the T-38 Talon...

I think Ferrari had it sights set squarely on the McLaren F1 when they designed this car.
