^ Yeah, but the article also says an F430 replacement should be out around the same time, 2010, with a 550hp V10, so the Dino could still be distanced from the F430-class car in the future. Plus, there's no way it'll be under $100K. I suspect it'll be more like $150K+, and the F430 replacement will $220K+. There would be a good amount of room there. And, I don't know shit about photoshop, but I'm sure those photos were not released by Ferrari, i.e. are fakes.

150k MSRP is not all that cheap for a Fcar. Now, buying one for 150K is cheap.

The car has some Cayman features, but the rear quarter is very Enzo-esque.

I don't know if it's real, but it's pretty cool. I don't care for the rear shot though.

Your an idiot for even considering the thought of that being real.
What a worthless statement.

you don't have to agree with me of course. i don't say that it's the best looking car i've ever seen lightly either. before this i always thought the nsx, mclaren f1 and F355 were my top three. this, in my opinion, trumps those heavy hitters!

82 - 90k in British pounds is about $170,000 or so. i think the exchange rate is currently around 1.9

Looks like a crossbreed of cayman and f430.
