One-off Ferrari 'Prototipo' due today
The 'most extreme Special Project' yet from Ferrari will be shown this afternoon - here's the teaser
All Ferraris are special cars; even the most common, least powerful, least fondly remembered ones. Some, however, are clearly more special than others. There are the limited edition track weapons for starters, cars like the 488 Pista and F12 TdF, the V12 hypercars and then the really extreme things, the Special Project cars like the SP38, SP America and this car, the Prototipo.
Set to be revealed this afternoon, the Prototipo has been previewed on Ferrari's Facebook page with some moody design sketching sessions and a brief snippet of testing at Fiorano. As is often the way with these things, there's not a great deal to be discovered. Certainly it's a dedicated track car, the aesthetic clues giving that away before the 488 Challenge wheels are bolted on and it's sent on circuit. There are louvres, spoilers and spats aplenty, the Prototipo aggressive and purposeful even by Ferrari's standards.
So what is it? Nobody seems all that sure just yet, although with the project to be detailed in full later today there are only a few hours to wait. Some rumours have suggested it's a LaFerrari-based creation, though we'd say from here it looks and sounds more like one of the turbo V8 cars. Who knows? Let's see what emerges come 2pm...
y fortune!

ferrari have been developing this car for years and actually put time into the dynamics/aero/etc
it's a beautiful car but objectively will perform worse than an fxx-evo and costs 4-6x the price.
Maybe you were drunk when you were looking at all those 812s ... ?
Lovely looking but you expect it to be perfect for that list price + extras!
The bonnet gap is visible on these Motorsport pics- Note this gap seems to be there on some of them even when not cornering at 25G..

edit to add link.
If I was spending a load of money on a one-off Ferrari I think it would have to be a road car rather than track only (and buy a 488 GT3 for the track) - but each to their own. Wish I was in a position to be able to have the choice!
On that point, I wonder who will be first to charge a billion for a car? Please don't anyone say it wouldn't sell....
Edit to add, I might be stretching it slightly at a billion, but that would include lots of gold and Dubai plates...
