    Question ferrari fake?

    so yesterday i was checking out my boss's 360 spider, a sweet piece of machinery. but then i noticed a couple things, and hopefully someone can clear this up. first thing i noticed is that the air duct on the side that goes to the brakes (or atleast thats where i assumed they would go) appear to be fake. there is no ducting into the wheel wells to cool the brakes. i don't know if they are routed somewhere else or if they are there to look good the second thing is that the front and rear brakes the the same size with the same calipers. except the rear brakes have an extra caliper? this seemed odd to me. most cars have more braking in the front. if anyone could clear this up that would be great

    the calipers are the same size but the rear caliper pistons are smaller, the 2nd caliper is the parking brake.

    I think the rear ducts are meant to get as much air around the engine and it's coolers as possible, esp. the exhaust & cats.

    Spider's are soft top variations, and that isn't a spider. Here's a pic of another Modena, looks pretty much the same.

    If they don't go anywhere, maybe they are speed holes to help stabilize the car at high speeds?

    if its not going to the brakes, then it could be going to the engine bay or just air holes like crazyning said for down force

    LOL thats what i thought might have happened.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    A. those holes .. are good and sexy looking.

    B. I think ( just me ) is it some aero design, creat more down force during high speed, the most special thing for a 360 is .. lots of down force on high speed, same as the big spoiler on a Porsche 911 ! but Ferrari don't look good with spoiler !

    C. may be like the holes on top, is for sucking air to the engine.


    Anyway .. I think that 2 holes are for high speed down force.

    The Original !
