    On my way home this afternoon I passed by this black beauty and the yellow badges caught my eye. They're quite well done, although I doubt it came from the factory like this...

    I had to turn around and get a picture to share with you all! What is this beast of a car?

    Some sort of 2+2 that was released between the 412 and 456 maybe?

    Ah, yes. The Ferrari 666.

    If you agreed to a 20 year investment term for at least a billion, then Bernie Maidoff gave you one.
    Sweet deal.

    Oh! In case you think the roof folds down bad news, its really a non-convertible.

    That was food for a nice belly laugh. There is a Mitsubishi 3000gt with a bad body kit and fake shield on it near my house. Every time I see it I have the extreme urge to ram it.

    Just the right amount of patina on it too!

    It must have been a factory racer at one point in its history. :)

    Oh My God!

    Is that Nero Sacramento????

    I don't think I've ever seen it 'live' and 'in person.'

    How do they come up with these amazing colors????

    I think that was the factory prototype car with the revolutionary engine design in it.

    Rumor has it that it only needed an engine belt service every 150k miles or so!

    No, the Nero Sacramento Prototype is far too high-tech a design.

    I looked at it and no joke, it looks like a skyline r31 with f-car badging. Though if it is some kind of 'prototype' then surely Ferrari would have blasted it in the media or no?

    An expensive one-off parked directly in front of a custom home- pretty much the whole deal there!
