    That's NOT primer, it's the $300 "flat grey" option:D

    Regardless, I really quite like concept; small but muscular. It has a bit of the vibe of the original Mini coupe, but with better proportions and room for real humans...

    I had a thought while on the Interstate... the 849 Testarossa's body color front spoiler/lip looks a little like a 288GTO's front end, and the 288GTO also happens to be a turbo V8 just like the 849 Testarossa and also happens to have a little ducktail spoiler at the back.


    The 512 Testarossa is a V12 and has a very different aesthetic... no spoilers, and has signature side strakes. Would we have been happier with the 849 design if it had been called the Ferrari 849 GTO? It does look like a better continuation of the GTO lineage than it does for the Testarossa name.

    All the best,
    Andrew.
