    That will be a very Wide engine, and having a hot V set up as well. If true, it will be interesting to see Ferrari’s engine/drivetrain setup versus Aston Martin’s.

    Just noticed how the bodywork cut-away for the engine looks so much like the shape of the “window opening” on the SF90 and FJ50. So, possible transfer of this shape to LB?

    Grazie for the information!
    Question: will it have an eDrive model like the SF90?

    Its interesting that photos like this always show a 488 GTB car and not an F8 ????

    Interesting that the front bumper of the SF90 is more like the 488 GTB also ????

    Seems to be an SF90 Stradale based mule? Or do we think that LB and SF90 Stradale will share the same headlights? (Though the front intake below the headlights are either missing or covered up).

    I think LB will be better looking IMHO than the SF90....Wish there was a side shot and a back shot of this White Mule.

    Looks like the same 488 based mule we already saw a few times but with SF90 headlights.

    This + they’ve opened up the air inlet at the rear quarters.

    What’s the deal with the door mirrors?

    The door mirrors seem to be out of the SF90 Stradale as well, but it seems like they’re off a yellow SF90.

    That's waht I meant when I said "the 488 based LB mule we've seen before" The more opend air inlets have been there before (on the the recent pictures).

    I can clearly see SF90 wheels in one of the pictures above. Anyway you look at it, it has the same chassis as the SF90 and the layout will be the same. The area once being available for items behind the seats is gone and replaced with a battery.

    The car most likely will be lighter than the SF90 mainly due to a smaller engine probably a 3 liter and I highly doubt it will have all 3 electric moders. Because if it did the weight difference between BB and LB would only be about 40 kgs.

    Frankly I believe it will look like a better looking SF90. Unfortunately it wont be called IMOLA :( as it has been used by Paggani and only for 5 cars.

    Headlights do in fact look like SF90, mirrors, dash and wheels too - and if (as is likely) chassis is based on SF90, why not just test the V6 in an SF90? What’s the point, for example, of testing the mirrors on a 488?

    Size/packaging difference? Perhaps LB is meant to be physically smaller than SF90?

    Yes, but mirrors? On a 488 - WT-?
