Ferrari GT teaser photos

First Official Pictures

12 May 2008 10:11

These are the first pictures of Ferrari's new GT, taken from the Italian firm’s teaser website www.ferrarigtcountdown.com. The car won't be shown until the Paris motor show this autumn, but you don't need to wait that long in this internet age – Ferrari is gradually revealing its new baby bit by bit online over the next few months.

The five teaser pictures reveal a wide, low, oval front grille, distinctive creases around the door handles, five-spoke alloys, a third rear brake light and a sloping rear end.

The official website also has four audio clips of the new Ferrari starting up, revving, running through the gears and then being driven hard. Which CAR Online will be doing as soon as we can wrestle the keys to this new 2+2.
What’s that non-Ferrari rear end shot all about?

Don't forget this GT will have a folding hard-top. The new Grand Tourer's origami metal roof neatly folds away under the curvaceous rear end at the prod of a button – creating at a stroke a new rear end design for Ferrari. It's still not known whether this will be the only body style offered, or whether there will be a fixed-roof coupe available as well.

No further details are available on the website but the countdown clock promises the next release in eight days' time. So expect the first pictures and a name (not Dino!) very soon...
