Post Ferrari F430 gets Lambo-style SV treatment

http://www.autoblog.com/2010/07/10/a...-sv-treatment/



Exotic cars may look all the same to most passers-by, but gearheads know a Ferrari from a Lamborghini. Japanese tuning house Auto Veloce has blurred the lines somewhat, however. Its Ferrari F430 package gets a similar visual treatment to those seen on the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and Murcielago SuperVeloce. The result is dubbed the F430 Super Veloce Racing. It's got the front air dam, quarter panel intakes and rear wing like the hardcore Lambos, only they're applied to the outgoing mid-engined V8 Ferrari. As you can see in the attached image gallery, the Super Veloce Racing package can be applied to either Berlinetta or Spider bodystyles. Call it an unholy mash-up or the best of both worlds; either way, it's available for order.

I am not feeling it. I want my Ferrari to look like a Ferrari and my Lamborghini to look like a Lamborghini

Not bad, but I'd rather have a stock F430.

To any car guy this is going to look like an exotic car owner with brand remorse. Celebrate the fact that your Ferrari is a Ferrari. It doesn't need to have the Reventon style nose from the refreshed Gallardo

Nope.

I wouldn't.

It's one or the other.

Like I wouldn't put halos on an Audi, nor LED strips on a Bimmer...

Can't really say I like this much. Why would you want your Ferrari to look like a Lambo or vice versa?

So this is what poseurs do when they can't afford a real Lambo. Oh wait.....

I just do not see the point. I like kits that enhance aesthetics but not kits that try to mimic the face of the competition

looks good to me, I don't care that it's on a Lambo, I think it makes the ferrari look more purposeful. I always thought the lambos bodywork looked better and more purposeful. The ferrari is ok but I think they're pretty 'tame' in styling.
