    A secretive Italian company calling itself Project 1221 is developing a highly functional mid-engined 1000-hp supercar with a $750,000-plus price tag. The company plans to build just 200 copies of the vehicle, called MF1. Project 1221 principals include chief engineer Mauro Forghieri, formerly of Lamborghini and Scuderia Ferrari, and designer Emanuele Nicosia, formerly of Pininfarina. The first prototype is slated for a reveal this summer. For more information go to project1221.com.

    Where do you see that Ferrari S.p.A. has anything to do with this?

    That Mauro is
    "formerly of Lamborghini and Scuderia Ferrari," does not mean Ferrari has anything to do with THIS project.

    I've been looking on the internet for mroe info or at least a slight spy shot of the car but the best I can come up with is this site
    http://www.italiaspeed.com/2005/cars/other/project_1221/03/0803.htm

    Gives a little but of detail about the car.
    I looked on project1221.com for more info but there site layout is downright terrible.
