Looks like they took the front end from the F360 GT (from the LeMans series.) Which is great, because I always like that nose's looks better than the street 360's. Also, hopefully they learned enough about the aerodynamics to have an improvement there.
It also appears that they're using the Enzo tail lights. <shrug> Looks fine, and gives the Ferrari line a nice sibling link...
Looks like the horn is operated by the thumbs on the steering wheel proper, rather than by pressing the airbag... It's as if they're learning from, and improving on, the S2000 philosophy - no need to ever take your hands off the wheel. I like it a lot.
As far as I can tell, these appear to be artist renditions. It'll be nice to see actual photographs.

The knob on the steering wheel is for a driver adjustable electronic differential from the Formula One car, but I'm still looking for details on what the settings are.
I LOVE THE NEW DESIGN. The front end is great, nice deep front spoiler, and the 156 Sharknose vents are a nice touch. The new headlights look great, Corvette can keep the 360 lights! The rear diffuser gets more and more radical with each new car.
And the power numbers are quite healthy, thank you.
The name on the side mirror is a little odd, but then again, it carries on from the embossed F40 logo (on the rear wing), so it works for me.

i guess the figured they needed some more displacement to get the power to keep charging the mint they do for these cars. I like it. This will allow it to keep up with the new Z06 just like the last 360 did. I am going to have to go with the C6 Z06 myself as I can't aford a toy like this!!
