Ferrari 229 Compatto powerslides into second place in Edmunds InsideLine Photoshop Contest #2

Personal File: Rats! It looks like I was squeezed out of first place on Photoshop contest #2. Well played Alejandro! The LamboYaris was great. Although I would have gone for the VW GTI as a base, you did a bang up job and deserve the win. Kudos to the other selected finalists as well.

Here are some fun comments from the voting - enjoy

How is the Ferrari not getting more love! That actually looks like it could be a real car. Best features are the windshield flowing into the hood and the front and rear fender flares that don't look out of place.

the Ferrari 229 is the best looking of the bunch... take off the Ferrari prancing ponies and you have something that could be a real model.

My vote goes to the ferrari for best photoshop and most realistic.

Can't win 'em all - On to the next!

Ferrari 229 Compatto rendering selected as finalist in InsideLine's Second Photoshop Contest #2

Personal File: I entered the new Photoshop contest over on Edmunds InsideLine and have again been selected as one of the finalists. The theme this time was a take on the sub-compact market with a new hot-to-trot product. After seeing the Aston Martin Cygnet sub-compact in their posting (a real car by the way), I felt obligated to do the same for a Ferrari. Using the popular Fiat 500 and the Ferrari 458, I mashed them together to create the Ferrari 229 Compatto. If it worked for Aston Martin, it might just work for Ferrari too :)

What do you think? Do I have the goods to take top spot in the voting?
