Ferrari 485 Italia - Page 2

The Italia is a pretty sweet looking car. apparently the F430 hasn't completely done it's job of replacing the 360 Modena.

I'd take all three. And a DB9

2. Where would you park it? You park cars like that in a US parking lot and when you come back it will either be gone, stripped, vandalized, or at the very very least scratched by some jerk.

But they sure are nice to dream about though

Lol. If I had a car like that I sure as heck wouldnt be living over here.

(Id still want my zonda tho...) lol

but... I would like the mustang in GRs first post...

This is about the only thing with a Ferrari name I'd be bothered with:

Hehe, my family has its predecessor (the Fiat Seicento). I use it whenever I'm home. Nothing grand, but still waaay prettier than the Ferrari 485 Italia (has about as much appeal to me as an overpainted tart). If I could afford one, I would spend the money on something else

My thoughts exactly. There are better things to spend money on.

Thats a horribile chassis. Ferrari lost it many years ago as far as design goes. The last great Ferrari was the 1985 Testarossa. Although my all time favorite is the Dino :

Now this is a concept car I would love to drive. Nothing comes close to this futuristic design, ok flying cars from Back to the Future 2 maybe.

Ferrari forever.

Task Force · 10-11-09, 01:39 AM

Id rather have the one of the flying cars from back to the future. lol they fly...

HunterICX · 10-11-09, 06:35 AM

If I would pick a car for it's design..I would go for this one:

HunterICX

Ferrari? Okay, but why travel so far to get a sports car if the good stuff is so much nearer to me. Porsche for me, one from the 911 line of cars. Simply classic in lines and looks.

XabbaRus · 10-11-09, 10:19 AM

Ferrari are like this to me.

Very pretty, all mouth, not trousers.

I don't know why but I've got the impression that people who drive a Porsche are people with bad attitude or to be precise Porsche is the car for people with attitude problem. Like overbearing, self hating and irrational

.

No offense that you like the car Skybird it's just my image of Porsche.

Anyone share my opinion?

antikristuseke · 10-11-09, 08:45 PM

Naaah, Porsche is the practical mans supercar, since it is the most practical supercar out there.
Ferrari is for people who want to look like a racing driver without actualy being one.
Lamborghinies are for people who want more attention that possible.
Ascaris are for flat out track stomping.
Koenigseggs are for people completely insane.
Zondas are for that 14 year old boy in all of us.
Gumperts are for people who are more german than the german stereotype.

All of the above to be taken with a massive grain of salt.
