That is not a TDF Stradale. It's a specially ordered custom color. This, however, is Tour De France blu.

I see. It did look far too bright, but I ***-umed it was off the shelf.

360 (especially Stradale, but the car is near perfect in any of its versions) and F-GT are the most compelling designs of the era IMHO

25 yrs from now the Stradale will remain sought after, no 430/599 etc willbe however...

Also, looks too much like the Lotus Evora

Aargh!

What's "F-GT" the Ford GT? That's the same era as the Carrera GT ...

+1.

Personally I feel that the F360>F430=F355>>>458 but as we any Ferrari or Porsche - the newest one will soon become the internet favorite!

You have a way with words, CGT!

I'm reminded of TD in DC's deconstruction of the California (with the help of 'paint' ) here: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...p-ferrari.html

"Step away from the drafting table Lorenzo . . ."
