Hello. I have been working on my Ferrari again, and have updated it to
version 5.0. This model started out in 1997 (believe it or not) and I have
pretty much used the same chassis on all versions. This newest verion is
based on the Ferrari F-40, a little bit of 512 in it, and possibly some
Lotus Esprit V8 mixed in there somewhere. I completely revamped the
steering, and turned the wheels around and gave it some custom rims. I also
re-worked the doors, so now they open regular instead of the "suicide doors"
on the previous verion. I added more ground FX all the way around to give it
a lower profile, and I also re-did the trunk area. It now opens correctly
instead of backwords. I got rid of the intake scoops on the front, and
changed around the front end a little bit. So, this new version has opening
doors, opening trunk, working steering, foldable seats, and a removable top.

(...) The car looks good. I like all the working details. The solution for the A pillars around the windshield is interesting too. However, it still looks like a front engined car because of the large front end and because the cabin is pretty far (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.build)
