Judging by the utterly atrocious panel-gaps and woefully asymmetrical positioning of the bonnet scoops is it a British Leyland offering from the mid-1970's?........

Rona!d Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14202 Posted December 22, 2020 A Ferrari? And what a design nightmare it is! "Experimental" maybe as a test how much torture customers would accept 🙃 Were have I been ten years ago? I was still testing new sportscars and went to racetracks all over the world from time to time but this one I must have ignored. It wins the price "car I didn´t know or forgot". Congratulations, Andreas! (I was maybe expecting some sort of "tuned" japanese micro sportscar or an experimental lawn mower robot) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14203 Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) Not 612 based. As mentioned, the special thing is the engine. Here is the full car. I wait for Nigel before solving it as he was on the right track. In the meantime I want to draw your attention to the car on the right ... Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14204 Posted December 22, 2020 What happened to the 599 Hy-Kers? is that a battery cooling on the bonnet? Now I know it´s CAMOUFLAGED. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14209 Posted December 22, 2020 At the 2010 Geneva Autosalon this car had a "standard" bonnet. I took a plane to Geneva but only picked up a car from the Autosalon and went to a ski resort in Megéve. That´s why I missed this car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14210 Posted December 22, 2020 I don't think they need the "do not touch" icon - Viewers might feel catching some dread disease from touching it. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted December 22, 2020 Share #14213 Posted December 22, 2020 There is a special place in hell for anyone who would do that to a Ferrari. There is another 599 with twin superchargers, simply to burn up rear tyres quicker when drifting. I really don't get the obsession with turning rear tyres into foul smelling smoke. A lot the work I have done on racing and rally cars over the last 55 years, has been to minimise wheel spin, which equals power loss and inefficiency.

NigelG Posted December 24, 2020 Share #14216 Posted December 24, 2020 Sorry for the delay - yes the 599 HY-KERS was shown in 2010 without the bonnet scoops. I didn't recall it being such a horrid shade of green tho'. The first matt finish car I saw was a pale yellow lamborghini Galliardo which I think was a factory/press show car at the model launch? My London neighbour has the latest Huracán in matt black and my opinion of the finish (horrid) hasn't changed.... Will find a challenge pic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
