    "Ugly" doesn't do justice to describing this thing as a mule. Perhaps a synonym starting with an "A".

    As long as they sell all they make, I guess a Dino is not attractive.

    The bigger question: Why is anyone even going to Jalopnik for "news"?

    I believe you are correct.

    As long as they can sell out $300,000+ 2 seat sportscars for 4 years, refresh it and then get another 4 years of sell outs, there's no need for it.

    Have you seen the side rounded intakes? It looks like Dino's. I don't say that they will make another Dino..but what's the purpose of doing that in a test mule? Better cooling?

    The curved inlet cover is essentially the same as on the 488 that covers a split-intake. Was like this on the pre-488 launch mules as well.

    Probably easier paneling work I suppose...

    I highly doubt any Dino will be forthcoming - Far cheaper to offer a detuned V8 version at a lower price point Just like McLaren did with the 570

    The 360 has been out of production for 11 years +. Its due to be rehashed. ;)

    Surely the 430 was the rehashed 360! ;)
