It resembles the Cayman with it's profile but with the 599 front and cues from the 430. I don't like the tail lights at all and it's a front engine aimed at the 911 turbo?? Wierd.

Those photos sure make it looks like a Porsche Dino, er um I mean Ferrari Cayman even more so than the initial photos I saw in one of the car mags recently (can't recall which one had it).

I, for one, love the design (imagine that).

Nice find Ray.

I think the profile is all Cayman. All other angles is pure Italian Stallion.

I'm not surprised about the aimed competition. Front, mid or rear engine approaches don't matter that much, it's about how the car drives and performs.

Man, too bad it's not planned to be at an Auto Show till 2009.

Looks like an Elise/Exige.

WTF? A front engined Dino? The whole debate came from Enzo not approving his son's design about the mid engined cars! Thats why it was never an official Ferrari!

The design? Hmmmm its OK, not fantastic. Their new brand language is taking on some retro cues. That bulbous stuff is very italian. The new alfa has similar lines.

I'm not liking the idea of Ferraris being moved down market. I'd love to be able to afford a Ferrari like the next guy, but somethin about the exclusivity of it makes it romantic.
