Not sure I like the headlights but the rest looks really good. I'm shocked it actually weighs more than my car, though.

Very Millechilli and 'Aurea' Concept. I love the dimensions, the lines and the stance. What a baby Enzo is supposed to look like. Not looking back, looking forward. Like an F430, an Enzo and a Gallardo in a three-way head-on collision and this is what came out of it. Just effing HOT.

Having said that, this car makes me admire Nissan more amongst the Japanese manufacturers: SHAME ON YOU, HONDA!!! Shame on you for not building the HSC when you had the chance. You could've one-upped Ferrari years ago in terms of design and technology. At least Nissan built their sports cars.

This is a nice vehicle not too sure if it's what I expected for the replacement of the F430. But I'm sorry Honda one upping Ferrari.. lol wut?

Also on another note does the front end look like an Evora to anyone else?

Actually Bro, what I mean is from a design perspective. If you look at the basic silhouette on the Ferrari, it looks like a more evolutionary version of the original Honda HSC concept car from 2003. Even the placement of the air intakes, similarities in the glasshouse, the exhaust layout. There were traces of Enzo, but distinctly Japanese (much like the R35 is distinctly Japanese). If they built the car, IMHO Honda could have established a design language that would have rivalled an F430 at the time, possibly the 458 wouldn't be as revolutionary as it is today.

Well, just my two cents, I know it sounds weird. Hope this helps =)

Fair enough, that does make sense. Thanks for explaining.

While the car looks great and the specs are nice, its certainly not the first production Ferrari V8 to break the 200mph barrier. AFIK, that was accomplished by the F40. Man that car was awesome. The most racecar like ever car sold on the streets from the company.

import111 08-13-2009 06:55 PM

The F40's top speed is listed at 197mph.

Crash 08-15-2009 12:22 AM

Not the F40 Enzo edition! :D That one is 60Lbs lighter with (I think) 100HP more.

Shunya 08-15-2009 07:40 AM

Wow it looks like a good Female car :D

I believe that thing also had a V8 in it. hmmm maybe its 3 cylinders to one bank, and the remaining 2 cylinders to a single.


edit: this pic might help a little more:
