It's only a prototype and we all know how much the production version can vary from the 'testing' stage's but there are a few mod's that I like.

Speaking of prototype's a 348 body with modified chassis was the 'mule' for the Enzo engine. Man I would love to own that test mule!!!

The first car looks terrible and the second one looks like a three-way cross between a 288 GTO, 355 and Testarossa. It has some features which look nice on their own, but they don't come together very well. I still maintain that Ferrari have not made a good looking car since the 355.

OK I guess I should talk slower

. The first pic's are ONLY spy pic's so who know's what it is to become and the second pic's were only a 'test bed' for the Enzo's engine. Sorry I wont post anymore 'test mule' pic's if they are really that confusing.

arent Ferrari making cars to order for customers? so we will see alot of one off models coming out? maybe this is one of them as it looks pretty well developed to be a prototype.

Yep they are once again doing custom 'one-off' coach work but I dont think that is one although I could be wrong.

It's an F430 with a custom body

Can you backup that statement with FACT'S or is it just your OPINION?

Is my OPINION

, however I'm now starting to think that the wheelbase seems a little short for an F430

Fine but when you make a statement such as "It's an F430 with a custom body" with no implication that it is just your opinion why dont you just say it is only your opinion?

Do you honestly know the F430's replacement will have the same wheelbase as the current model? Maybe it will and maybe it wont who know's, neither you or I do, it's just a test mule imho

, that really has no implication as to what the production model's configuration will be, right?

What are you on about?! The fact that I think the wheelbase is shorter kinda suggests I don't think it's an F430 any more. So yes it could very-well be a replacement or a mule . . . . or even a Chinese rip-off Ferrari
