Old?
New Ferrari. Looks like a cross between a supra and a corvette, with a touch of maranello and a dash of aston martin. Can't say it floats my boat like an enzo or a 355.

edit: actually, a lot more than just a dash of aston.

Well ferrari have always had 5 star rims, but never quite as demonic looking as these.

Well something managed to trump the biturbo V12 powering the SL65, CL65 and S65, that engine is 604 bhp. I wonder how much torque the Ferarri has, I know that the 65 engine has 1000 NM (738 lb-ft) but ti was limited due to the transmission, it is really capable of 1200 NM, only thing I know that beats it is the Bugatti Veyron with 1250 NM. Also, those are quite the satanic wheels, I would expect that on a Lambo Diablo, but not a Ferarri :P

I don't know what is its peak torque, but at 7600rpm its 428lb-ft.

Satan's ride is ready - soon he will pick up Freakaloin from these forums and ride to a wedding ceremony of doom.
Wow, touch of damnation on those rims, doesn't give that classic Ferrari look unfortunately.
You're right, I see a lot of the Aston Martin DB-7 incorporated there.

Don't know much about cars but it looks like a pretty sweet ride.

Hmmm...I don't know. It's not a mid-engine car, and I still think the F430 looks better
Speaking of which, anyone know how much is the markup for a F430 in the States?

its a GTB... all GTB's are F/R.
but personally, i still think the 355 is the ferrari for me. and thankfully the price on those keeps falling. $80K in the second hand market now. :icon24:
