I like that little area behind the c-pillar. I wonder if it's functional for aerodynamic purposes.

I see a lot of Panoz in the 599 design...

The F40 will forever be sweet.

Yeah that car does nothing for me either especially with the speed racer inspired head lights.

F40=one of the greatest cars of all time, possibly the greatest Ferrari.
599=Looks like the next Supra. Does not look Italian AT ALL. Very sad, I already don't like (As most of hte press) the looks of the Scagletti

The 599 is not very exciting looking to me. The F40 is just a work of art though.

they should have never put these 2 cars together. Really shows you how backwards they are moving in design.

Looks too 612 to me, which is a horrible thing.

The 550 and 575 were gorgeous cars. Possibly my favorite Ferrari designs ever.
