    would be my guess. The "double-bubble" roofline is a clue. Is that a white, (1 of 4) Zagato-bodied 250 TdF in the background?

    I have NO idea. I can't even tell what model it's based on, but my guess is it probably started out as a TR. I think it's some crazzy car Pininfarina probably made as a concept.

    I've seen pics of that before, but I don't remember if it was a rebody or a prototype. I'm leaning towards Zagato rebody.

    That could be a Brunei special. It probably is not, but it's just my guess. By looking at it from all angles, it appears to have a bit of the 360, Enzo, 550/575, Testarossa,512, 328. Not very appealing on the eyes, although, the rear isn't bad.

    Because it's a Testarossa, Edvar, undoubtedly, will know waaaay more than anyone else about it, but i know very little about it, to begin with... Going off the information the Ferrari Market Letter has on the car, i'm DEDUCING that it started life as a regular Testarossa... It was stolen in France on June 4th, 1990 and appeared as Zagato's FZ 93 on the Zagato stand at the Geneva Motor Show in 1993... Hopefully someone can confirm, deny or flesh out my hypothesis, given the facts...

    It looks like the genetic missing link to the Enzo. Which is, in my book, not necessarily a good thing.

    And you can get more with a Heckler and Koch than a Coke and a smile.
    For bonus point, Carb, what's the VIN of the Zagato 348 next to it, and how many were produced??

    Is it an offspring of an Enzo and a TR? Perhaps an unwanted step child? Skeletons in the closet?

    This is actually a modern take on the old Zagato Ghia Speciale.

    I think the designer of the Enzo paid homage to this limited edition timeless classic.

    i don't know where this picture was taken (the origianl in the first post), but if you look at the background cars, they are also zagato cars. the car that generated this post is discussed above, but the yellow car is a ferrari f48 (?), the zagato interpretation of the 348. many of these styling characteristics have found their ways onto modern ferrari's - whether intended or not. the car in the far background is a zagato one off of a late 60's 330gt. it has a removable hard top, i believe it is s/n 10659.

    Wow, never seen this one before, it certainly has something of a enzo. Could it be a photoshop picture???
