My local shopping centre had on display today what I believe is a Ferrari F2007. There is some uncertainty, because the front wing looks a little different, which might indicate it's an earlier evolution of the car. Here are a few of the pictures I took with my mobile phone.

I dont' think it's 2007, from the shape of the openings in the sidepods maybe 2005.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Although it wouldn't have the number 4 on it, did Ferrari start of the 2006 season with the previous years car?

There was a poster a few days ago advertising the car, which said it was the 248 F1 - the 2006 car. I suppose, it does look a bit like it, but the car is in the 2007 and on livery.

It's painted up to resemble the F60 - it has this year's numbers on it and a KERS warning sticker near the cockpit and on the engine cover.

the normal thing for demo cars, i had photos of the MP4 21 up close painted in the vodafone livery.

Again, it still has to be an early evolution of the 2006 car, too, as the aerodynamics look different.

The moderators can change the title of the thread to "Scuderia Ferrari 248 F1".

Could be a winter-testing version of the car.

The F248 had different side mirrors and side pods, nose and had a bi front wing.

Id bet my last dollar its the F2005, i remember it had the tall side mirrors that they occasionally had one high the other bent depending on the drivers liking.

Its abit poo if every team when doing demo's just show cars thyat rae abit mix and match.
Well its very poo.,

Aha, The change to the lower corner of the sidepods to being more rounded happened with the change to the 2.4L V8. MclarenFan's car there is still the 3.0L V10.

yeah thats another hint, the sidepod intakes dont need to be as large on the V8s

We had one of these at our shopping centre once. I don't think these cars are an specific model. They're more or less some car jig-sawed together for display, without an engine or transmission etc..
