Tee from China Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I think that Ferrari used a MkIV as a base when designing the 599 GTB, if you look there are many cues taken from the Supe that appear on their car such as the front end and the quarter windows etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes they did - for the 550/575/599. They have a *mint* condition Supra in the factory at Maranello and each time they design a new front engined GT/Supercar they refer back to the bible that is this Supra for inspiration and guidance. FFS... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Was the Supra based on the e-type Jag though? After all, it's wheels are EXACTLY the same kind of round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
