    I was looking at this 612 and trying to figure out why it has 4 pedals. Is one a hyperspace pedal or a custom McLaren-like fiddle brake that some rich Swiss guy commissioned? Then I realized that the 612 has a highly polished kick panel and it's a reflection of the gas pedal. The one on my 456 is dull aluminum.

    The first pedal is just a reflection in the mirror thingy.

    This thread isn't really necessary.

    Yeah, I think that's more interesting than the mirror plate itself.

    By the time I can afford a Ferrari you can bet they'll have an option for a hyperspace pedal. Cool pic! :)

    Funny pic! Gives a new meaning to the term "double clutch." I guess you could also say you have a twin plate clutch. :) Thanks for posting that, it did look strange at first.

    I think they polished the metal so your foot could slide along it easily if it touches while on the throttle. Maybe now it's more for looks I'm guessing.
