While designer Iman Maghsoudi gave us a Ferrari that was akin to operating a PC touching speeds of 200 km/h; designer Vincent Montreuil has a different vision for the speedster. Adding a third dimension to the pulsating sport, he envisions race tracks in the air, demarcated with levitating lines (or ropes; u get the drift); and a Flying Ferrari X-Racer in the forefront. Call him crazy or over-ambitious, but it’s not hard to imagine his concept taking shape…say 50 years from now!

Designer: Vincent Montreuil   此人想必也是星战迷。

首辆自动驾驶的法拉利？是不是太舒适了……
而且，应该已经可以属于半车半飞行器了！

Designer Iman Maghsoudi believes driving cars in the future will be akin to operating a PC while traveling 200 km/h. Humans lacks the concentration and dexterity required to handle such a task but the inevitably of hyper-computerized vehicles is a truth we can’t avoid. Monza is built for speed but smart enough to drive itself.

At slower speeds, the “pilot” sits in a cockpit similar to straddling your office chair like a motorcycle and has full control. Once you exceed a specified speed limit, the computer takes over. The vehicle changes shape resembling an airfoil for maximum aerodynamics. The design creates lift to reduce friction and strong ground effects keep you from taking off. The 2 manta ray like fins adjust to channel air smoothly across the vehicle while also serving to make you look totally bad ass!

I’ll take 2 thanks.

貌似是驾驶员的眼镜……很不错，让我想到GPX里的情景。希望有一天可以实现，呵呵。

出差几天，一直没有空将这辆法拉利的新车在第一时间发出来与各位共享，抱歉啦。

这车的外形整体上没有什么新鲜感可言，只是有很多小小的细节而已，也许这就是为什么它会比较便宜么？看到这种简陋的设计真是会让我怀念起法拉利的过去各款车型呢。



法拉利终于揭开了F149的神秘面纱，并率先对外发布了这款名为Ferrari California的首批官方图片。Ferrari California的动力部分并非搭载传闻中的4.7L V8引擎，而是采用增加了缸内直喷技术（Direct Injection）的4.3L V8自然吸气引擎；马力峰值输出460ps@7,500rpm；传动系统首次应用全新的七前速双离合手自波箱，FR（前置引擎、后轮驱动）驱动布局；0-100km/h加速少于4秒，专为旗舰型号599GTB而开发的F1-Trac牵引力控制系统（F1-Trac traction control system）亦会被装备在Ferrari California身上。法拉利将会在今年秋季的法莫道不消魂国巴黎车展中正式发布这款新车，关于Ferrari California的更详细参数官方会在稍后另行公布。英国市场将在2009年第一季开始供应Ferrari California，预计起始售价为130,000~160,000英镑。



车身侧面看上去比较均衡。但是说实话，尾灯太容易让我想到ALPHA ROMEO，而且设计感还次之。
