It had this windshield in the pictures, but for some reason they made a higher one that was kind had like the zagato double bubble style to the top of the windshield and frame. That's what I was trying to say. They said it was starting to look more like potential production material, etc but I think that's not the case and it was probably more that Montezemolo wanted a car he didn't have to wear a helmet in to drive. Cool pics Hubert.

--------------------------------------------------
Ferrari have just released a number of pictures of a 360 Barchetta, including two on the "Models" section of the official website. This has led to speculation that the Barchetta may be heading for production following the success of the limited-edition 550 Barchetta.

The 360 Barchetta was first seen in August 2000 when it was presented to Luca di Montezemolo on the occassion of his wedding. At the time, it was described as a one-off special.

Interestingly, one of the pictures shows the car as a right-hand drive but whether this is an error and the image was accidentally flipped or whether this is genuinely a RHD drive is not known.

Do you know where I can get pictures... before and after the windshield (or did I misunderstand? It had a windshield before right?)... I've seen a few pics here and there and I'd like to write a report on it. But some pics out help me out.

There were a couple articles in Forza about it in the past year or so. Montezemolo's wedding gift was one of the articles, the other one was just recently that it's sporting a new bubble like windshield.
