I got's to get me one of these LOL! Twin supercharged V12 hydroplane. I'm waiting for the article from an old Ferrari magazine to be emailed to me but it will be in italian so we will need translation. From what I had read so far there is only one left, not sure how many were built, and it's F/S starting at $1m+.

Yah the magazine was Ferrari World issue #16, Jan-Feb 1992. The mag is no longer in circulation but a guy who said he has it has tried to email me a copy of the article twice but I have not recieved it yet. I think he got my email address wrong.

Here is a small article about it http://www.ferrarichat.com/velostrada/issues/200509/Mulvey_ArnoXI.htm

I am surprised no one has said it looks like a McLaren F1 yet :wink:

I just get the feeling around here that whatever Ferrari do someone else can do better & legally at that :roll:
