Default Multiple scoops! :!:

I thought I'd post some of my latest findings all in one post to keep it clean.
I'm not going to write about the specs of any of these cars because not
all of my sources are reliable. But if anyone wants to know what I've read
about a car just ask. And I'm not gonna post obvieus photoshops. Spyshots all the way! images/smilies/biggrin.gif
Some of these may be reposts but then just scroll along and shut up images/smilies/lol.gif







Ferrari 600 Imola


INFO: In the Imola, the engine is expected to develop about 600 horsepower. Sources in Europe say the new car is longer and wider, with a larger cabin and more cargo space.
The 600 Imola will feature aluminum body panels on a lightweight space-frame chassis and will borrow liberally from the architecture of the 612 Scaglietti. Designed by Pininfarina, the Imola will add an open Barchetta variant in 2007-08.

Aston Martin DBR9 finally some real pics

INFO: The panels are hand made from carbon-fibre composite, helping the car to meet its 1,100kg minimum weight and giving it a power to weight ratio of 550bhp per tonne - more than double that of the road car.

good work man.

i must say im dissapointed with Ferrari's new styling. The 612 isnt ugly but it isnt a masterpiece. THEN they decide to make the car again with a diff engine and call it a 600 imola?? COMON its the same fuckin car!!!! images/smilies/vampire.gif images/smilies/vampire.gif

on the other hand Aston's new styling and cars are great British masterpieces that have put the auto maker on par with Porsche and Ferrari. Sure the Porsce or Ferrari might be slighty faster than an Aston but the looks make up for it big time! All astons are beautiful and you Brits should be proud. Ferrari should take note images/smilies/mad.gif images/smilies/wink.gif

Agree on that. The 612 Scaglietti and this 600 Imola is quite boring and you
need to be older than 40 years, bald and fat to drive it.

Totally agree. I hated that ugly hatchback standard edition when I first saw it.
But these little improvements on the RS version does a lot for the car.

About that WRC spoiler I suppose it's just for keeping the car from flying. So then
it's ok that's it's really ugly

anyone like the new 600 imola?

i dont think anyone would. i just cant believe this kinda styling is coming from pinninfarina. more so this is ridiculously close to the 612.

an aston DB9 or vanquish is looking damn good now images/smilies/icon_exclaim.gif images/smilies/wink.gif

Wow, dude, you don't know what style is. this imola is the best looking ferrari ever, it's perfected in many ways, the saw the flaws of the previous models and made this one perfect.

OH you wanna talk about Aston? That looks like a squashed turd. the aston is too standard, they made like 5 different cars and they all look the same...

the lack of design bothers me, it's not even a real car, you can see on a ferrari it has been designed, not copied from a previous "good" model...

Ugh disgusting

are you serious or seriously high??

the new Imola looks like the 612!! the 575 was waaayyy better looking and was the most beautiful GT until the DB9.

Sure there are similarities with the Astons but they have slight differences that are recognizable. The vanquish is the mightiest brute looking one, the DB9 is the elegant timeless perfect looking one and the new AMV8 is the small 911 carrera rival.

they all look similar but have their own "personalities" which cannot be said for the new 612 and imola.

the 456 looked better but still cant be placed next to the DB9. images/smilies/wink.gif

Dead serious, you wanna know why that imola has some similarties with the 612? Because that 612 was stunning! The front is agressive, beautiful and graceful and the same time, the DB9 which you call better looking than the 575 (DUDE STFU go away from this forum you don't know shit about cars so you should not be here, go post at hairdressers forums and go make topics about the stitches in the leather seats of your custom Ford Ka) but anyway as you say they have slight differences, a novice wouldn't even notice the differences from the outside, the price is ridiculously high, you can get much better for that money.

And I am not even gonna reply on your statement about 456 = better than the DB9 because I take that as a personal insult, which i take very high, so cut the crap and don't get me more pissed by saying such things

Why, the ferraris dont have personality? If that statement should aply on ONE car, it;s gotta be the an aston, don't matter which model, they are all the same, the ferraris are individual masterpieces with their own design...

novices dont buy these cars. novices arent into cars. even rappers and celebs would see the styling differences in cars like the DB9 and vanquish. they will also notice the OBVIOUS similarity between the 612 and 612 part 2 (600 imola)

Look the Astons are conservative looking, maybe just the DB9. They dont need to be outlandish to be beautiful. Atleast the Aston dont look like it has a big smile grille on its front. images/smilies/wink.gif

I like ferraris but the 612 and imola are the wrong way to go. images/smilies/wink.gif

Did you just replied or copied your previous post? Make some true statements man...

http://www.autowereld.com/imagesDB/6...96_ferrari.jpg

Look at it, it is the most beautiful backside or a car, it shows you haven't got a chance trying to beat him...
Now look at the Aston..
http://www.bsmotoring.com/2003/images/sep27_38.jpg

Just try to look at it, it's hideous!!
What a shame for the UK, i feel sorry for you, and you all know jeremy praises it because it's british..when he forgets there is a camera next to him he starts telling you the flappy pedal gearbox SUCKS big time...just like the rest of the car!

http://www.bsmotoring.com/2003/images/sep27_48.jpg

And now look at the front....or don't, i don't blame you if you can't watch it..
Get some wood a few nails and some spanners and start constructing your own Aston...the shape is made by a mindless idiot...he mad a 3 by 4 meter candle and aimed a flamethrower at it and TADDAAA there is the new aston range... images/smilies/mellow.gif

Right... I'm siding with Justin on this one, the Ferrari not only looks too much like the 612 but it's also WAAAYYYY too happy (you ever seen a funny looking fella grinning wildly on the street? you keep your distance don't you?)

And the Aston V8, what can I say? (wipes mouth, copious leakage from the larger hole in the lower half of the face...)

I think the 600 Imola looks OK, but I would have expected more from Ferrari,
a bit more daring perhaps. Even though as it is it looks stylish, but gentle.

I'm afraid to say I don't reeeaally like the front of the DB9 even though it's a
really good car. I don't want to drive a fish, do you? The DBR9 looks awesome..

Eh, I really don't like the 612 Scaglietti styling. It's.... I think the front is a bit ugly actually. Something about the headlamps and the way the hood scoops down... really messes me up. Now the new 575M, delicious. Especially the back of the 575M.
