re-bodied Ferrari 456

Post by dinosabella »

Usually the more modern cars re-bodied to look "retro" are awkward looking, many re-bodied C4 corvettes come to mind but this in mu humble opinion is a work of art. Also, many little design features that may inspire some of us for our little spider projects.

i agree with Roller. The car lacks the balance and flow of line of the old ones.

The interior is a work of art. However, I have to agree that those high front panels going into the headlights throw the balance of the car off. Imagine if the front end were created more like the 1954 Lancia Aurelia Spider. That IMHO would have taken this car to the next level of a retro mod.

Interestingly awkward. If they just made the middle part of the nose proturde to a point and painted it white, it would be the Mach 5. Go Speed Racer - Go Speed Racer - Go Speed Racer - GOOOOOOoooooo!

IMHO of course. :mrgreen:

Quality of work and effort to get the car to that, I'm sure is excellent.
Style... does not do a thing for me .

This ferrari has style, I suppose a dream car now.

I like the idea but agree it still need work . I think after the mustang, camero,and challengers where revisited so successfully ,there is a strong argument for re-working a few of the best body styles ........FIAT SPIDER !
