    He probably saw it mentioned around here and put it on the car. Remember he's the same guy who stole arhimede's sketch (way more accurate than this design) and proudly posted it on Instagram with his logo. Lots of "inspiration" from FerrariChat.com...

    It's very strange, this messed caos of information in contrast and hype ceremony is more eccentric than every reveal since ages....It seems they are releasing a 488 GTE with road tyres and F1 aero... Marchionne, damn it...

    But if they present to the customer the 20 and not the real car but an online event, to me seems strange they present the car today

    I do not think the 20th event is online, I think it's a video preview.

    I don't see much difference with BBR rendering: the rear wing doesn't move.
    I think the rendering is great. I bet on Modificata, but also Monza could be the real name

    So why did Ferrari testing the Car in Daytona? Makes no sense to me. They test FXX K in Bahrain or u test easy without any risk for leaks in Abu Dhabi, or south of spain. Or Nardo....Why flying all the stuff over to Daytona? Why all the Risk?

    Well its just a wild guess... maybe they need some particular movie scenes with the famous Daytona name in the background because the car name will be Daytona?

    I know, but right now we don't have a date to look forward to (other than March 6th). All the hype just died.
    Anyway, It's 7 PM. Nothing on Ferrari's website. Let's go home, boys and girls.

    Post #3990 mentions Feb. 16th as the "media reveal"; the plan has changed apparently.

    More than likely there was no plan.

    I'm guessing that "unveiling" is referencing the event that is now scheduled for Tuesday the 20th. Either way, it doesn't matter.

    Yes, but those meetings are private.
