    According to Google's AI engine:

    The term "Ferrari Direzione Tecnica plate" refers to an exclusive, commemorative item celebrating Ferrari's technical direction, rather than a functional vehicle part or license plate. These are not standard equipment but highly limited and collectible memorabilia given to VIPs at new car launches.

    What would be interesting is to find out whom the VIP was, could theoretically add some value to the car. I once owned an F430 that was owned by a famous Ferrari collector and it did add some value to the car.

    I don’t see any pinholes. Where do you see them?

    I think one could compare the points of the two "i" of Direzione to the point of the "i" of Tecnica.

    An owner could / can spec a dedication plate and put whatever they want** on it, this owner chose " Direzione Tecnica ”
    that does not automatically mean there was anything actually special about it. The next owner could order a replacement place
    with " VIP Owner " and it would have meaning to them ... ;-)

    The car has never been titled. It was purchased directly from FNA a few months ago.
