LaFerrari Test Car Parking

Interesting! But where exactly? Ferrari premises anyway?

 

Test and certification models not to be sold.

 

they really did a great job shaping the test cars to a point people expected the car to be fugly( of course i still hear some say the real car is ugly).

to me it is the car that i can't get sick of looking at for almost 2 years.

 

It's a fantastic looking thing, stunning in fact but it certainly is ugly, at least in a traditional sense.

 

but what is the traditional sense of ferrari? sure it deviates from the so called pininfarina style ( which is hard to pin point what exactly defines such style in a few sentences). and throughout the years i am pretty sure the people in charge of the design of pininfarina had changed and to me it is too generalized to see this design firm as a singular thing.

if we are talking about lines, flows and rhythm of the stance of the car i think laferrari has every thing that the previous 'traditional' ferraris had, a definite modern representation with tributes to the company's great history.

 

Graveyard of Mulettas, surely they'll be crushed at some point?

 

In I think 1970 it was Phil Hill that went back to the factory for a visit. He met with Enzo and at some point asked about the Ferrari graveyard of scrap; old cars and part. Enzo was not impressed and they sort of had a falling out over that question. I think Enzo wasn't happy when the dead didn't stay buried...

 

Phil Hill had a restoration shop then, he was probably just looking for parts

 

These 13 prototypes are on the way to the crusher. I saw them yesterday.
NOT in Maranello.

so along with the one on display in ferrari museum ( i don't know if it is a permanent exhibition though), there were 14 prototypes in total?

 

..well at least they keep them covered and mostly dust free until their final spin!!

 

No.

Cool. This is raw Ferrari DNA. Great spy pics.

 

Such a shame those unique pieces of engineering are to be detroyed.

 

I doubt all the prototypes will be destroyed.

 

I never understand how so very few of these test prototypes are ever seen in public with photos rarely leaking.

 

YET..... 3 1/2 years later [08-16-2018], some are being sold by Talacrest………

 

You mean bought by Talacrest

 

Correct.

 

I think one belongs to an Fchat member. I don't knoe whay Talacrest posted a photo of it. Greg owns one (or the only one).
