    The car is called "Rossa". It's made by Pinin Farina and was presented in 2000.

    The Rossa was based on a 550 Maranello.

    In my opinion, the car on Pimp's picture is not the real Pininfarina Rossa, but a 1:1 model or so. It looks like a clay/resin/plastic model of the car, probably used during the development of it. Take a look at the wrong wheels, incorrect lights, "fake" front grill, wrong colours on the engine, wrong seats (where are the seat belts), missing interior and so on.

    Opinions???

    You are correct! It is a non-functioning lump of clay.

    It definitely has some viper influences on the sides.

    It was likely a Japanese designer as well -- like the one who did the new Viper. maybe even the same guy!! Given this was an 00 and the new Viper an 03 it was probably the other way around.

    I think it looks like a blind worm with steel wheels from a Chevy Caprice.
