One of my favorites from the last 20 years. I would love to see Ferrari take the F12 racing.

Some guy here in the Netherlands has a RHD road legal version of that.

Current GTE rules state 5.5L max capacity for NA engines, so Ferrari has to downsize that 6.2 V12 the F12 has. Fun, but costly, and the 458/488 platform is reliable enough while still being crazy-good.

Aston Martin, however, has a 5.2L twin-turbo V12, and can do what Corvette-Pratt & Miller did by removing the forced induction and bumping a few more bits to comply.

It would be a lot of work to make happen, but there is something special about big front engine cars racing. There is already Bentley, Aston, and Mercedes doing it, so Ferrari should join. It would fit with Ferrari’s heritage perfectly.

That Tatra pic is creepy as hell!

Also funny that the Veyron owner with all that money couldn’t find an exact replica of his car in die cast. Assuming it is his.

Apprently all you need is good airflow to avoid the devil. That Veyron pic is from 2009 and the owner was actually really cool. He let people sit in his car and was really friendly. I think he had just bought the toy and was going to have it painted to match.

Cool :) Good to hear. It’s easy to paint Veyron owners are reclusive asshole millionaires, but how often do you meet one?
