    Crickets. My biggest curiosity regards the fact that Greg stated earlier that he must wait 2 years before being able to drive it on public roads. I would think that if the car is purely a prototype, driving it on public roads would likely not be possible no matter what the "wait period." But I could be totally off, thus the curiosity.

    Depends on what country it will be registered in. If a fxx can be registered for the road no reason this car couldn't. The fact he said he couldn't drive it on the road for two years tells me he's already figured out the details. Just wait and we'll find out when it happens.

    Maybe its new tech Ferrari is giving this guy because he has such a stable. This same tech will be filtered down in some newly launched models. They simply don't want that new tech on the street yet before the production cars and for rivals to know and see the specs. Maybe thats it.

    Remember how our boy Ferruccio started Lamborghini. I don't care what anyone says. It was with stolen parts, tech and know how from Ferrari and other manufacturers in Italy at that time. He bragged about it in interviews before his death.

    With Greg's particular car, the new tech already happened, it was the LaFerrari. If you go back in the thread, you'll see photos of the car in the Modena museum stating it was a test mule prototype for LaFerrari engine.

    Any news on this car? Is it still in the museum? Has it been seen out any?

    Isn't Greg and all his family from Italy? Hopefully they're doing well given the health crisis going on there at the moment.

    very cool, some of the photos made me laugh though as they placed the panel on the top upside down!

    I think it looks best without the panels :)

    It's not the greatest looking thing that's for sure....

    Would be cool to buy a 458 with a broken engine and swapping he F12 V12 in it though...
