    Interesting proportions. The front seems to look quite long compared to the rear.

    Maybe they need space for electric front motors ?

    Test mules are more interesting and fun then the end result it most cases imo, I'm not sure what it is about test mules/prototypes that makes them so cool.

    Some very interesting things here. The front is more pointed than either Pista or 488, it’s more like LaF. The fact that it is black panels and not just a livery disguise suggests this is a fully working prototype, which means design signed off. The length in the nose seems very long as others have said, but also there seems to be more volume immediately behind the B post area. There also seems to be an extension of the rear vent channel into the door, a little like 720 but not so aggressive. The vent seems higher than 488 too (if it even is a vent...) And do I spy four headlights?!

    When I was at TM a couple of weeks ago we were flatly denied access to the production line, which unsurprisingly means something highly confidential was going down - could be this car? This does indeed look like something for Geneva 2019.

    Enrico Galliera reveal at Paris motor show, Ferrari presented 15 new models 2019-2022 so it’s for sure a new in all motor show, very exciting

    The rounded roof treatment and rear spoiler reminds me of the Ferrari P4. One thing they can't hide; that windshield seems suitably steep to.

    I have my name on list for the new 488 replacement. My first Ferrari was a brand new 2007 430 Spider. Then a 2008 430 Spider. Then a 458 Italia, and then a 488 GTB, and then a 488 Spider. Can't wait for the next iteration! Call it Cool Aide, I love Ferrari's!!!

    What a fantastic find for the test mules and spy shots! To me, it does have that SP38 and J50 look to it, especially how the mule is covered. Really hope they get quad taillights.

    Very excited, also had my name down since Feb... Exciting times, I just hope the release will be the twin turbo and not hybrid.
