I can't work out why it doesn't look right - its just not coherent - is it a lengthened chassis?

The side-on shot makes it look more like an NSX than a Ferrari, and the sloping rear glass area looks all wrong with what everyone expects to be the trademark 345/355 flying buttresses

Having said that, I guess Ferrari designed it NOT to look too conspicuous - that's what test mules are supposed to be

However - how much is an Enzo engine? I reckon the asking price is worth it for the lump alone

It definitely looks better than an Enzo.
That isn't difficult!

I love that car. Remember it being sold at the Ferrari auction.

Didn't some Dutch guy buy it?

Looks like a cut and shut!

There are some nic bits on it but you would look like a bit of a tool driving it - like you had Max-Powere'd a 348!
Agreed. If a lesser manufacturer released that, even as an ex demo/test/concept/idea/dream, it would be panned to death by the PH forum ninjas.

True but it doesnt matter. Its a one off and a piece of Ferrari history. There are a lot of people willing to pay hansomely for something like that.

This was auctioned off a few years ago for around GBP55k if I'm not mistaken. They then tried to flog it off about a year later for some ridiculous amounts. Looks like still on for sale :-)
Its quite a car but pig ugly to look at and If you see it in the flesh it is like a badly made kit car.
55k?

The engine is probably worth that alone.

An interesting oddity, but would anyone really take this over a real Enzo?

Somehow, I get the impression the pull of this car is owning it for the prestige, not the prospect of driving it.

Exactly! If the 348 didn't exist people would be fawning all over this. A 348/355/Enzo hybrid

Beats most other Hybrids hands down!
