    Someone went all the way to the factory and forgot to take pics of the front? Looks to have a beefier hood than the standard 458. I see Speciale or Challenge interior. Centerlock wheels. Hoodpins = track car only most likely.

    Strange they have it just laying around uncovered. I want to see the car as bad as the next guy but you would think they would let Greg be a part of the big reveal if there is one. I figured he would end up showing it on his Instagram before anyone else. Even if this is a track only car I bet you we will see it on the street at some point.

    Anyway... i'm probably taking Ferrari too seriously.

    I'd rather say it's a LaFerrari TEST MULE but it could have been so even without the KERS system.

    You can see all the orange cables in the picture. It seems very likely to have the KERS system.

    I think we are agreed a KERS LF mule. I was told that a number of mules had been sold but were in a terrible state and so the Factory were tidying them up. Maybe this could be the ultimate example of 'tidying' with a bit of financial help from Gregg? They could not be used on either road or track. Road I understand, track, why bother to test?

    Car is matte black, but engine bay on this one is grigio silverstone? Where's the fluid bottle on the right? Hmmmmmmmm. Lots of other differences. Not the same car.

    Old LaFerrari design prototype which has nothing to do with Greg's car.

    Again...I have no knowledge of whether this has anything to do with the thread's subject, but apparently this design was patented in August of 2016, according to the article. Wouldn't that be a bit late for a LaFerrari design prototype?

    Can we please stay on topic?

    This is clearly not Greg's displayed car.

    The struggle is real, in the most specialized forum on the internet nobody can exactely define what car is that?

    How can this be possible?

    Finger crossed!

    It has been defined numerous times, a LaFerrari drivetrain prototype most likely sans KERS.
