New Ferrari Mule First Spy Photos
Hot on the heels of the Ferrari California launch, already a new test mule is spotted in Italy wearing an old F360 body. Besides the upcoming Ferrari hybrid not due until 2015, two possibilities come to mind of what this prototype might be – either the next generation F430 or a powertrain mule for the Enzo successor.
In the words of the spy photographer, “We where overtaken by a strange looking 360 while driving on the highway, and noticed that the exhaust pipes were missing from the normal place. After taking a closer look we found them in the middle - right under the license plate. We managed to snap some shots before it took off at a speed that we couldn’t follow. ”
Unfortunately no photos of the front could be taken, but the photographer recalls a slightly modified front bumper from the F430. Also from the photos we can see the side rocker panels are covered in black tape as well as the back glass to prevent anyone seeing into the engine bay.
i love that last picture, the red one. that's very nice
look closely, the wheels seem like the ones of a F430 Scuderia, and the tail lights seem like the don't fit properly... i'm quite intrigued by what Ferrari is testing exactly...
Its more like 360 lefts... very comfy to hide anything on V8.
It seems impossible for Ferrari to ever make a mistake. According to the artist rendering of a possible 430 replacement, I see Ferrari continuing it's winning ways. Awesome!
Render looks nice. I'm hoping this will be the F430 replacement. But let the F430 be in production for a couple or more years.
This seems to be a next gen for F430 but may be a parallel relevation, I started to wait do'nt no why, for third model in the V8 lineup. Backside looks like the front is beautiful too.
