Now correct me if I'm wrong, but don't other people see the resemblance to the Alfa 8c? It even uses the same engine.
What are those chaps in Fiat playing at?

I don't like it.

I don't like it.

It's just another Ferrari really, nothing special.

Looks great. Doesn't the Alfa have a 4.7v8? Seems like this one uses the 4.3 from the 430.

Not the case, some Ferraris are something special, this one however is not.
I think it's a little too soft around the edges for my liking.

 

[MrSix]

See!

I'd give all three of my testicles to own that.

Well that sucks. Looks like something Peugeot would design from the front. Not good, not good at all.

That's what I mean, this is just another car, made by Ferrari, not a real fun interesting proper Ferrari. The one you posted is very nice.

Are Ferrari perhaps producing too much stock and starting to dilute themselves?

What, you huys haven't realised that Ferrari played a huge hand in developing the Alfa 8C/Maserati GT yet?

My post directly addresses the OP's comment?

Now my opinion: "I don't like the name, but the car looks good. The engine sounds very good."

Yep, I'm fully aware that the 8c uses a Ferrari engine and was co-developed between Alfa, Maserati and Ferrari.
Guess I'm just a little surprised that they've not tried to distance the Cali from the 8c. I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that it's based on the same platform.

Looks gorgeous! Sounds good too! (http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17874762&highlight=FERRARI). Do Ferrari ever make any right hand drive versions of their cars?
