    Could this be the new Chevy vette z06/zr1? The styling between both is getting similar, sadly.

    I think the tacked-on camo bits are from a Corvette :)

    Pretty sure it will look nothing like a ‘vette.

    I really hope for no visor type windshield. IMO that's looks absolutely wrong on a Ferrari. That's also the my main dislike on the P80.

    I’m sure Ferrari studied and incorporated many styling cues from Chevy. They have been doing that for years. Remember the long hood on the old corvettes? Ferrari copied it. In fact, looking back, Ferrari used to have round headlights just like early Vettes. Then moved to hidden.

    And they have always copied the four tire model of Chevrolets. Have to be a total fanboy to miss that!

    Looks like they are moving back to the 308-355 Rear Pillar, looks interesting and a bit of Ford GT40 (the original) in the rear. Can't wait to see Little Brother soon!

    This car has some potential, the body style appears to have little in common with the 458 lineage. That’s a good thing. They milked that platform for all its worth.

    Very excited for this one, I hope it delivers. One of the images clearly shows a very “McLaren P1”-ish exhaust, somewhat surprised that Ferrari would go with that solution/design.

    Little Brother looks more pleasing in these CAMO shots than SF90.

    Good eye.. does this mean the LB will first be introduced as ICE only (like the Roma) and hybridization will be added later or is this something else entirely?

    Electric flywheel assist with TT would really work well, lots of Tq and zero lag, plus the shorter wheelbase a v6 allows..

    I hope the car looks as low, light, and compact as this appears (I'm assuming it's not as long as the camo and tack-ons would have us believe). I know the size of cars have increased due to safety regs and average buyer size, but I miss the days of small, svelte sports cars. And I LOVE flying buttresses. Hope those stay and are well-designed!

    The guy who makes the camo worked hard: I think the roof, A pillars and side windows are fake: you can see a curved roof below all that.

    This is supposed to sit below the SF90, doubt it's possible to make 800+ PS without any sort of hybrid system, but it's certainly possible that the mule is running on a ICE V6 alone for testing purposes, hence the lack of warning signs.

    It appears to be more low slung than its competition
