    In Progress: Ferrari New Cali Restyle + V12

    In order to get this car more to my liking I installed the sail panels from the 599 to make it look like a true hard top.

    Not much I could do with it's thick behind... but I did change the rear design somewhat by getting rid of the frowning inserts which were at the ends of the recessed area. I had to rescribe some trunk lines.

    I will duplicate the side vent inserts and install two in the hood per picture.

    That will be all of the body mods because I don't want to get too far from a factory look. After I get the bodywork finished I will cast it so I can make a full race GT2 version with matching sail panels.

    The V12 engine is from the 599 but it will have Enzo cam covers. The engine swap is pretty easy except for adapting the Cali V8 snorkels to the V12 plenum.

    Wheels are 19" and 20" Hobby Design.

    That is really sweet. I didn't think it was possible but you've actually managed to make the Cali look good!

    not only your doing some very sweet jobs over there, but those 599 bits are perfect, someone at Ferrari should pay attention to this project.

    Reviving this old project and as often the case with projects that linger so long it has evolved into a different ending. Now it is a product of inspiration from a photoshop I did of a Hamann California. It will have the Hamann wheels and ground effects...with a NART theme.
