I believe you can have your car 'excused' from wearing a front numberplate in some circumstances. Some UK Ferrari Enzo owners have done this, though just because one gets their car excused doesn't mean they all get excused automatically... each owner has to apply individually.

Whats interestiong (to me) about this car, is the part the size and profile of the tyres play in the look of the car. Its more obvious in the pic of one in a warehouse, but the tyres are a really integral part of what this car looks like.

I agree 100%. Can you imagine it with 19" wheels and low-profile tyres? It just wouldn't work. The whole car looks cohesive and 'right'. I wonder how much designers factor the profile of the tyres and diameter of the wheels into their work when they style a car?

We had a thread on this about a week ago.

IIRC the last one sold for $2.5m - but that was just less than 2 years ago.

I might be wrong on the price (wasn't paying too much attention at that moment).

IF you can afford a 33 Stradale, and IF you drive it on the road, I imagine a £30.00 would be 'supportable'...
