Seeing the 480 nose as on the red car in this image, I can imagine the designer may have been inspired by the nose of the Ferrari 412.

I should have gone there, it was only 40 miles from the ferry! Though I would have had a discussion at home because the ferry costs € 500

Photos from the dash cam - very tricky this time, trying to get the stills where the cars are well positioned, wipers out the way and not too much water on the screen to distort the image.
