The 8448 is indeed most like a Ferrari, the front engined Maranello. The 8880 is closest to an all-wheel drive Porsche - I don't know which model number that is. The 8466 is the Ford EX concept. Well there it is...don't say otherwise. ---...--- (...) (22 years ago, 25-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) ... balloon tires and those cool gullwing doors! That makes me ask "Where in the world can you see balloon tires in real-world cars (cars that anyone uses, not special cars)?" And also, all these supercars (8448,8466,8865 and 8880) and the F1 (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.technic)
