In between the sound clips I took some screen captures. Look below.

1. The new nose (matches spypics)
2. Rear bootlid (classic Ferrari)
3. New wheels (also in spypics)
4. Door handles and character line (again, in spypics)

Are we 100% certain that it's going to be a 2+2? Guys on FChat are having a hard time believing it will be now. Due to all the spy pics.

Unless the rear seats are as useful as they are in a Porsche.

Great site, I just love the sound of a Ferrari, it's gonna be a good "surprise"

vladinecko · 05-10-2008, 09:12 PM

it will be another ferrari i can't afford...

the gear changes sounded lighting fast -- i guess this one won't be offered with MT anymore.

Sounds like a V8 with a crossplane crankshaft unlike Ferrari's usual singleplane crankshafts.... Guess this is bigger displacement than the F430's V8.

I wonder when Porsche is going to wake up and actually do something good with the 911.

The writing is on the wall....

It will. While Ferrari is moving away from manuals, as sales of them plummet, it will still be an option. And remember money can get you anything you'd like.

2+2 cars are typically "Porsche-ish" rear seats. Meaning, there are rear seats, but they're only able to accomodate toddlers.

True true. However yesterday I saw 2 10-13 year old kids in the backseat of a covertible porsche. It was one funny-ass site to see.

yeah i bet it was ... but 3 years down you will see them in the driver seat of the same car and it wont be so funny (I am used to seeing kids in expensive machinery where I live... saw a 16 year old girl texting on her cell phone driving a 911 turbo cab and a bunch of school kids in a 911 cab last weekend.)

More!!!

Check the front bumper and the new "IS-F" exhausts. They arent as bad as Lexus's hugee oval tips, so they might actually look good. Overall the car is looking very impressive.
