Overall nice looking shape, but the headlamps could be done better, maybe with the lamp being flush and to follow the contour of the front wheel arches.

I think it looks fantastic. The front lamps hark of the Dino 246GT.

It is rather funny how the car that Ferrari thought of as the bastard child of his company- he wouldn't even allow his name to be put on it, hence the "Dino" script badges- became an icon and the template for many other Ferraris

What I have read is that Enzo blatantly refused to have the prancing pony placed on a car that had such a small engine- and such a mid mounted engine. It was named Dino as a compromise and its engine developed for F2.
