    Quite looks like it. I think you can expect the 488's current down ward facing slot between the taillights will now be blowing the underside of the rear spoiler - effectively making it like a wing profile.

    Similarly, the S-duct results in the front bumper doubling as a wing profile with a big shovel spoiler below. Nice!

    If I may I prefer to think of Speciale as "classic" now.

    Who cares. We now just need the details such as HP, 0 to 200 figures etc. We can worry about the name later....minor details.

    2 White stripes, differently from Speciale, seems very American to me, similar to Ford GT and Viper stripes, maybe 488 Daytona

    Well, I guess the slides are the least of F's worries now, lol.

    So, does this new leak force their hand and pushes up the public reveal?

    It's "New V8 Sport Special Series", as seen in the slides from the dealer meeting

    The car doesn't need a stripe but I could get used to it...or get rid of it. The rear will look hot.

    Good catch!

    If that is the spoiler, then the rear could well make the car from what I can see. I always thought they would need the downforce and so take the concept from the LF, but then understood it was fixed, whereas from what is visible, maybe it is similar.

    Not so keen on the simple white stripes, preferred the Speciales but then they had to differentiate.

    I suspect the launch is covered with videos and so possibly traceable, but all this leak does is increase the feeding frenzy.

    I can assure you mine will not be put out to pasture quite yet.

    I'm thinking 740 with 0 to 200 in 7.6. Torques 770.

    another stripe option will follow i guess.

    speciale had also two versions. the big double "Viper" stripes and the tripple one. (what was the name for this tripple stripe style?)
    scud only one version. thiner Viper stripes.

    this stripes on this one look like beeing exactly the middle between speciale/Viper and scud/thin stripes.

    never forget that the Viper was also a FCA child during the end. :p

    For what it is worth I have been told 750 hp by a normally reliable source.
