Default Found this very interesting

I was watching some Top Gear on demand today and they did a small peice on the Ferrari 599. Now of course they go on about the power and shifting and whatnot but then when i was looking at the styling of this car i couldnt help but feel like i had seen it before... Here is the ferarri 599

I find the simlilarities staggaring. That just goes to show that even the top sports car companies is the world will take from the MKIV

wow... theyre basically the same, the only difference is that stylingly they used flow edges to separate the cabin from the rest of the body

That is pretty funny that they look so similer. I bet they are gonna be a few supra's out there w/ ferrari badges.

help us all from what??

Just goes to show the supra was pretty far ahead of its time , i mean its just now where Sports imports are coming out with the power levels the supra, RX7 and 3000GT had. they were all ahead of there time. The RX7 is actually the ost dated looking of them all
