New Ferrari GT

12th May 2008

The countdown to the arrival of the hotly anticipated Ferrari California has begun. The Italian firm is set to launch the car, codenamed F149, at www.ferrarigtcountdown.com.

While official pictures have already gone live, the site will slowly reveal even more of the Ferrari to fans and enthusiasts, and promises to “guide users through a sensory voyage” over the months leading up to its official public unveiling at the Paris Motor Show.

Updates and additions will gradually be made to the teaser-site, but right now, a selection of audio clips is available to allow you to hear the roar of the GT’s V8 engine (see right). These will be followed shortly by a collection of images while a series of road tests are promised in due course.

Here at Auto Express we plan on following every piece of the Ferrari puzzle so check back regularly for exclusive content and all the latest updates from the countdown website.

And don’t miss this week’s edition of Auto Express, available Wednesday, were we pitch the new Italian against an exciting new British rival.
