 Front Engines (Maranello) or Mid Engine (Modena) Ferrari ?

What do you think ?

Why Ferrari is also using a Front Engine car in races after more than 25 years using only mid-engine cars ?

What do you'll choose if you're planning to race ?

 They use it because it is fast as f*** and because it wins. Choosing this or Modena to race, I'd take this because of better performance and weight issues. Modena has incredible handling though.

 Because the dream of Enzo was to have a Ferrari with front engine and all the power go to the rear wheels.That's why he has made the historic 250GTO
Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding.

A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

 I voted for front engined because it's better for road use. The Maranellos are bigger and more luxurious, and I guess less sporty. The 456 GT would be perfect, a 4-seater that provides some luxury and goes 300km/h.

 the 575 isnt all that good at all, on Top Gear many cars outperformed it on the track( as in a race track test) including the gallardo, lotus elise, nsx, rx-8, and a ford focus rs. either they had a grandma driving, or it just isnt that great at road holding.

 Look the 575 wasnt made for the track. it was made for crusing where as the elise was made for track work thats why it is better than it on the track. duh!!
