    (Theoretically) as a concept - when was the decision to make a limited run made?

    It's old news that there is a production run of six? All I'd heard was that this was a "concept." But what do I know?

    Shouldn't this thread be in the 458 section since these models are based on the 458?

    Ha! Thank you. But I was hoping for a bona fide Ferrari serial number.

    I knew that. But I think it has none. At least none visible.

    So this shows the six production units all together, assembled?

    Wow, I am behind the curve! I'd heard the actual car was going to have a windscreen, but I must have been misinformed.

    I think I can safely say that this is Ferrari's worst styling effort in recent years.

    It's butt-ugly and totally impractical. I can't even tell if it's coming or going. Yuck.

    "Noblesse Oblige...I think I can safely say that this is Ferrari's worst styling effort in recent years."

    I thought I read somewhere that this is a Pininfarina styling effort? Presumably, of course, they'd have to get drive train and such from Ferrari and then put their chassis on top of it. Given that it popped up in abt 3 diff threads in a day or so, it could very well be that it is accomplishing what it set out to do, generate buzz amongst the tifosi?…T

    Yes. It could be PF, but Ferrari still has to take the responsibility for this disaster. Oh well. No one is perfect.

    A friend of mine saw one of these on display a couple of months ago. He said, despite inspecting various of the car, and scrutinizing the interior, he couldn't find a single VIN or serial number plaque anywhere. All six are based on 458s, so I can't understand why they don't have Ferrari serial numbers; it drives me crazy.
