The side profile looks nice, but I'm not a fan of the front. I'd like to know whether the power of the electric motor and petrol motor can actually be added like that. It seems a lot of the websites are doing that with these new hybrid hypercars, but is that actually how it works? i.e. will the electric motor and petrol motor be providing power simultaneously or will it be a mutually exclusive setup?

I'd take an F40 over that anyday....given it has a much more appealing classic bodyline and is the last thoroughbred supercar made by Ferrari.

Do not like the lines of the new one, especially how the wheels are way to close to the end of the boot.


Heck, I'd take a fully worked Supra or R32 GTR over the new Ferrari.

Be madness to take those over the new Ferrari. Whether you like the looks or not! Edited by jangles

I'm a fan, first decent looking car they've put out in ages. Above view isn't its best but I'm really loving it from a front three quarter angle.

A mate at work worked on it too so that gets it over the line in my book.

Zonda's definitely up there as one of my all time fav designs too, much nicer than the new huayra

This Ferrari looks like it has too much of everything, lines, angles etc. I would definetely take it if it were given to me but if I had the money and was going to buy a Ferrari it would be the F40 hands down. The F40 has character and the turbo lag we all love so much. :wub:

New Ferrari looks great. F40 is winning. New Vette looks like a fast and furious Ferrari 599 with R35 front guards. Zondas will always be cool.

I dont fully unserstand the hybrid petrol + Electirc = exactly the two figures added. I could understand the engine/motor producing the least power helping and adding a bit, but it just makes sense that the motor with the most power would over run the one making less. Even in that, the motor producing less would still need to at least keep up with the one making the most or it would be holding it back right? Maybe I should click the link and read the article?

reading that just made my head hurt.

think of it this way. if a young guy's car breaks down and he decides to push it out of the way of traffic, and then he gets help from an old man, it will still be easy to push with both of them, or harder for just the young guy buy himself. having the old guy pushing the car as well isn't going to make it harder to push just because he isn't as strong as the young guy.

as for adding engine power for 2 engines, it really is that simple. of course if they were to use some sort of weird transmission system to join the engines then the resistance of that may alter the output values, but if the electric motor simply drives the wheels directly, or is attatched directly to the crank shaft then it will be transferring all of its power.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
