Insane Ferrari Monza Concept

It appears that after seeing a number of its finest works crashed by errant drivers, Ferrari should consider making something like this. It's called the Monza, and it's part car, part motorcycle, part flying wing, and all anime.

Independently designed by Iman Maghsoudi, the Monza, whose name recalls historic Ferraris of yore and the race track that hosts the Italian Grand Prix, can go 125 miles per hour. But because humans cannot muster "sufficient concentration" to keep it on the ground and upright, computers take over. They change the angles of the canards over the front wheels and make sure the Monza doesn't go airborne in violent gusts. This study in advanced aerodynamics appears to be the road-going equivalent of an F-16, which seems to be a rather complicated way to go speeds that aren't considered that fast anymore. But hey, it's a Ferrari, it's red, no one else has one, and if we got the chance we'd drive it, too.

It sounds a little far fetched, but it's an amazing looking car (if you can call it that), I'd love to see it go into production.

Does not seem to offer to much safety does it, head on collision would be a *****.

Then where are the "front" tires?

I can make out a face in most car designs. The SL500, for example, has the facial appearence of Alessandra Ambrosio.

BUT a face is ENOUGH! The world is going to to friggin' end once car companies start on this stuff

Copying the GT-R... not funny Ferrari.

And the front tires are so small, that the car won't handle at all.

Interesting design but not much effective... With a bit more thinking this can be a great car.

There are no front tires. THe only tires are on the back, the front is supposed to be a wing, hence why its half car and half plane. I know they said it would do about 125 MPH, but how fast does it have to go to get the wings airborn? and if your doing city driving, are you going to be dragging a wing down the street at 20 mph?
