The BB 512 was the last really atteractive Ferreari id spend money on,
thi snew stuff with a newer designer is soo grosse and soo unlike ferraqris nice lines that they use dto be they are pathetic looking now days,

As I said before, the nose and the rear wing are EXACTLY THE SAME as the 2006 models (sorry Gustav).

I’ve also found out since that the side pods on the 2007 car are actually SMALLER (must be the difference in the angles of the photos that make them look bigger).

Also, the Suspension Geometry IS different. This is because Ferrari have changed from a “single-keel” design to a “zero-keel” design meaning that the suspension now connects directly to the bottom of the chassis, not to the underlying keel.

The barge boards are also different. there’s also an intake on top of the nose just in front of the driver. Plus the rear end of the car is totally revised.

Hi Matt and Gustav.. Good observations guys! The main difference I spotted was the different suspension (completely different geomerty) and also the nose like Gustav pointed out..

Can’t wait to see which cars perform this year.. it’s really a lottery

Winglets on nosesides are removewd on the 2007, also the nose itself is modified with more rounded edges.

Its the Sidepods – the new ones seem wider at the top.
This is not surprising as it is well known that the F2007 is using the exact same front and rear wings as the 248. Firstly, the 2007 wings are not quite finished yet. Secondly, Ferrari dont want their “cleverness” copied before the first race.
