Thread: ferrari 612 gto

never been a big ferrari fan but damn this is sexy...



more pics here
Ferrari 612 GTO Concept

looks hot, but any ferrari with a gto badge should also be a racing car, which is why the 599 gto isnt as cool as a 458 gto would have been

Like the 250 TR and the 280 back in the 80's...they were basically uber awesome track cars disguised as road cars...I think they lost the "soul" of that in the 599 GTO...with all this electronic crap to keep it in line...gone is the gated gearbox and stupid dangerous car where there is nothing but the steering wheel, gas pedal, and as far as your nerve will let you go...

Kinda disappoints me really where all of these car makers are headed. Which is why smaller, crazy guys like the Gumpert Apollo's and the Ariel Atom's are so awesome these days.

Agree 100%

I saw it and thought back to the olden days of the Daytona. Shelby still making an impact... or it could just be me... I see it tho, it and several others. Like a grand ol' car orgy and this is the bastard offspring brought forth

Side view looks really close to the new corvette.


Pero, es muy sexi!

If a Corvetter and a Ford GT 40 had a baby.

Only because of the price tag and ineligibility of it... You had to show proof of owning 2 Ferrari's in the past year to be able to put your name on a waiting list for it, and put up the money up front.

It did have power and was stupid fast but only because of the super stability control and traction control and abs... F40 was like wtf is abs, much less traction control and stability control didn't even see cars for over a decade after... it was all RACE and Driver Control.

Dittoness...

Although the F50 and Enzo were pretty traction control/ABS/stability free...they were for sure more tame.

They tried to bring that "soul" back with the Challenge and Stradale models...but all they did was toss on a less restrictive intake/exhaust and gut em...

Still kinda lame.

WHERE IS TEH HEART?!

Oh...here it is...



or...



maybe...
