No idea. Doesn't say much in the press release.

"Trans" is shorthand for Transportation Design, a subset of Industrial Design major. Two main Trans programs in this country are Art Center in Pasadena, and CCS ("College of Creative Arts" now, "Center for Creative Studies" when I went in the 90's) in Detroit.

Both programs are taught by professional car designers at night (My studio classes were 7 to 10pm). They work during the day and teach at night. At CCS, we had instructors from big three (GM, Ford, Chrysler). Art Center gets instructors that mostly work in the SoCal studios of Asian and European car companies. This makes these two school's programs more relevant than any program taught by designers that have retired years or decades back.
Damn. How did you find your Transportation Design program? Is that the field your going into or working in now?

Posting "Stance, bro" pics should be a bannable offense.

Ferrari is losing a lot of interest from me for the way they handle their business. That awesome 599XX posted above? If it's anything like the FXX based on the Enzo then sure, you can buy one...but you can only drive it on our track on days we say and you can't take it home with you. So really you don't "own" anything, cool?

Add that to their policy of "Glowing review for the new Ferrari or we won't offer our cars to your car magazine ever again. PS where are you going to review it so we can spend a few days tuning it to the road surface and layout of the road?" and you have company of shit-holes who are resting on their laurels car-wise.

That's enough of that, have a sexy-ass Porsche 904.

Say what now? Also, you make it sound as if the buyers of the 599XX and the FXX aren't aware that they are investing in Ferrari basically, and willingly participating in a test programme, as if they were promised some sort of Road car instead to accompany it. It's not some multimillion dollar bait and switch. And if you want the 599XX, you can always just go for the 599 GTO. Jalopnik posted up a hot pic of it today.

Zonda post! A lot of sexy pictures from press releases, but you can find those easy, and it makes a lighter upload to disclude them, so there won't be many of those:

Such a beautiful car. There was no way the successor could live up to the incredible design of this one, but the botched catfish design makes it like night and day when you compare the looks of the two.
 
You know what Zonda has in common with Porsche?

They're fast, they're engineering masterpieces, they handle great or like a beast (depends on the model) and they look all the same. Makes them extremely boring.

It's true, the Huayra will likely never beat the Zonda's looks-- the C12/C12-S set an amazing standard, and the design peaked with the F. Just about every other contemporary supercar is a wallflower next to a Zonda.

The new car's unfortunate nose job was inevitable given the cooling requirements for the twin-turbo V12 (another regrettable change, but it was the only way to meet US emissions regs), and stricter crash/pedestrian safety standards. It isn't nearly as offensive in motion, and the Huayra looks worlds better in colors other than silver:

Also, your epic sequence of pics shows how far Pagani evolved the Zonda within a decade. Imagine what the Huayra could be like in a few years' time given similarly continuous development. That shit will be face-meltingly awesome.

The latter was my fear but if this is true then I guess we'll have to live with it. It looks better in red but I can't get over the funky front bumper that looks like it's about to collapse, the straight up oddly designed vent on the side, and the 430-esque air scoops on the sides. It just looks like a clusterfuck of design. Otherwise, I like the back and front, it's just a lot of the lines don't come together very well.

I tried to lay the Zonda pics out chronologically, and thought to myself, I'd feel pretty bad if I bought a C12 and years later it's been retooled a hundred times and even had custom ones built for people. But then I thought, no, I wouldn't feel bad, because I still have a C12 Zonda that still looks absolutely magical. Almost classy next to the Zonda F variant beasts.

GTR meets V8 Vantage?

Kinda like it though. Beautiful as they are, Aston's current models all look too similar to one another; but hey, if there's one GT car whose looks you want to emulate, it's the DB9.

Too much Ferrari going on for my taste on the rear. :/
Yeah, when I came here I saw the last picture first and was like "huh, I don't know that Ferrari", then I saw the Aston emblem and was like "Whaaat? That's no Aston".
 
That is the best looking Zagato in a long while. Very nice. I wish the front was a bit sharper, but overall a very nice design.

Anybody want to tell me what the red circular handle things on racing cars are for? Always wondered.

Its a tow hitch, just somewhere for the marshals to attach a cable or rope to tow the car

I'm sorry I bumped this thread but this was necessary, as the people need to see this:

More here.

I don't know, it's a Zonda. Much like Porsche, if you have seen one, you've seen them all. :P I'm not saying the car isn't impressive, but supercar manufacturers that rely on one design are pretty boring.

What madness is this? I cannot comprehend how these two words can be in the same sentence.

A manufacturer who builds a car that looks like this:

,

sounds like this, and goes like this, is about as far away from "boring" as is physically possible. A tiny manufacturer like Pagani doesn't have the resources to invest in multiple model lines, but nevertheless, if the worst you can say about a car's looks is that it looks too much like a Pagani Fucking Zonda, I'd say it's doing alright for itself.

Now Porsche, at least as far as their road cars sans Carrera GT are concerned, I can agree with-- they don't do shit for me.
