    Saw it on the 14th fairway of my home course, carries 4 bags, but wasn't allowed to drive it, couldn't prove I'd taken the Corso Pilota Challenge course.

    above is all correct. Further, internally at Ferrari this is referred to as the modern version of the Testarossa, 0-60mph 1.8 secs via all wheel drive traction (each front wheel individually powered by electric motor so dual electric motors). Normal production run and will be previewed privately at Cavalcade in June and Frankfurt public unveiling. Price "significantly north of 812" so 600K euro sounds right

    So May unveiling is incorrect? Will they release official images to the public after the Cavalcade?

    I was told first private unveiling will be at the June Cavalcade, followed by Frankfurt for the public, however wouldn't surprise me if Ferrari reveal the renderings shortly after the Cavalcade and before Frankfurt, as there is a big risk of leaks after the unveiling at the Cavalcade.

    If I remember correctly, Ferr also said something about a private preview during the same month and that was confirmed by Mr. Massini as well.

    Dear F9000 , looking closely BB spy shots, wonder if this car will have F50 like roof or a more traditional targa roof ?

    It does look like there's a hole back there. Wouldn't expect that for an extreme performance car unless it's the spider version being tested.

    I also thought maybe the camo on the roof was puffed up by the low pressure over the roof resulting in the step at the back.

    If the BB turns out to truly have killer performance would anyone be disappointed if it does not have the (apparent) coveted carbon tub chassis? Is that really a big deal if the performance is there? It seems that some are kinda consumed with the idea that Ferrari is antiquated because of aluminum chassis.

    Can someone please explain?

    We have so few spy shots of this car , it's a shame ..
    Only the pictures you have already posted and showing two cars .
    A red one ( top picture) and the others taken at fiorano ( white car )
    You are right , an extreme performance car only proposed in targa form seems weird for me , but some knows the real picture ..

    Well a Jesko is a Mega car and it’s also a targa...still I would prefer a coupe that opens its doors like the la Ferrari. With a CF chassis to close the deal. It’s must be exotic like that!

    if the BB s estimated 0-60mph (1:8s) time is true, then it'll be a real shame for those mega cars or ultimate hypercars (read speedtail)..

    So it’s a track only one off? That would be interesting.
