December 31st, 1969 Ferrari may be adamantly against the development of a new entry-level model – or so it says - but that hasn’t stopped avid designers from around the world creating their own impressions of what they think a baby Ferrari could look like. This latest design is the creation of Idries Omar, and is a modern day version of the legendary 250 GTO appropriately labelled the F250 Concept. Omar set out to create a design that was simple, fast, aerodynamic and beautiful, while at the same time integrated styling cues from Ferraris of the past. In keeping with the ‘250’ in its title, the proposed engine for the concept is a mid-mounted 2.5L V6 capable of running on biofuel. Whether or not Ferrari actually builds the Dino still remains to be seen, but in the meantime enjoy the pics of the stunning F250 Concept.Ferrari F250 Design Study by Idries Omar

    Looks like a cross between a stealth aircraft, an F430 and an Enzo. Oh wait, that's the Revonton! Ok, it's a nice looking piece of metal, but I don't really think this is Ferrari's game. I think it is much more likely that Fiat will continue to roll out nice small, relatively cheap sportscars with Italian flair. It's just a shame we'll never see them in the US. Maybe in the US, they could be badged as Ferraris and sold through that dealer network... but then they had better deliver the goods and not dilute the brand. Why mess with perfection?

    It's interesting but it just doesn't have that Ferrari style. It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the range.

    That's one fantastic looking car! Never mind if it looks a little different than the other ferraris currently in production, the 599GTB doesn't exactly fit in either...

    it reminds me of the Lambo Reventon. do you think Ferrari had some inspirational ideas from the Lambo?

    checking into what we are looking at here, its certainly coming off as a piece of metal, this is more along the lines of cascading layers of aluminum handled to a space-age chassis, I think Ferrari would surely swing toward this layout, its based upon Ferrari timeless accents and bold curvatures. this aesthetic depiction of the next is very cool, however, my mind was taken with the rear end, knowing to any considerate designer, the rear makes or breaks the complete template, it took me a moment to accept this rear fascia's flow with the rest of the car. perhaps the bright light effect, and the sub-sized/ race inspired? signal lamps, and a 1/4 cross diffuser base section? this bumper is huge, I hope it carries an advanced cali safety rating.

    Kudos. very well layered, did you work CAD at all?

    I can agree with "diluting" possibilities amongst a grand scale of Ferrari's since the turn of the century. But if anything this opportunity is marketed toward financial development, both economically as well as performance efficiency, to thwart the bucking stallion toward a promising future amongst significant changes in economy, both home and associated. I think this 250 concept will bring on a strong market like that of the "rebirth" of the Vantage from Aston Martin, they came with the V8 yes, but Aston has a Direct stage of the V12 that many have come to see comfortable behind that fish like intake front-end! a very considered coach builder to date none the less, they have come up, both in financial equity and market possibilities. They are amongst the strongest runners in the ALMS, and a direct threat to an American Breed, Chevrolet. SO, why not Ferrari, try and bring a trial unit to their test market and see if they can't hold down their production options for the United States and abroad. Ferrari is a strong manufacturer of quality automobiles, if anyone can take a chance on a "throw" such as a 250 V6 H.O. automobile, it should come from a stable of this breed.
