OK now this is strange looking, I don't remember if this has already made it on this site or not

Where did you get this from? It looks like an Enzo (and a bit 360) based car made in 3d studio max or something.

BTW Who is this Matsuda you are always talking about?

 

[Dj Dirk]

the Aurea project was the combined work of Ferrari Product Development engineerings, the Florence University and the Corso di Laurea industrial design school

so basically the just had fun :wink:


Matsuda is one of the biggest Japanese ferrari collectors

 

[basman]

Wow, wish I could be there. But this are pics of a Ferrari owners meeting, do you know a site with pics of Matsuda's collection?

 

[basman]

Never mind, I found it: http://www.ferrari-museum.co.jp

On the website of the Japanese Ferrari museum you can download a movie about one of these brunches. I've just downloaded it and it's very nice.

how many ferraris does matsuda own?

 

[Andrew]

how many ferraris does matsuda own?

Around 36.

I've always kept my mouth shut about how I feel about the whole invite only thing for that event and just the general attitude towards foreigners. Let us just say it makes me very angry. As Dirk noted, I tried to get press to do a story on the event. They were very rude to my girlfriend on the phone and for her to say that means a lot.

 

[adlinyusman]

how old is he and does he even drive all of them?

 

[basman]

more strange cars:

If I understand it correct it's a prototype of Carrozzeria Castagna for Ferrari. Anyone got more info about this car?

 

[FerRory]

This car is beautiful

Oke after a short google search i found this:

[basman]

Thnx, but I don't think this car makes a good Ferrari, it's to busy, to much lines and curves.

The Aurea (as mentioned above) was a study of some technicy from the Univercity of Florance.
They also have their own website:

I also made some posts about it on my site:
