    It's an interesting oddity, but I for one wish Ferrari would go old school and give it to some coachbuilder for a design exercise. Of course I know complexities of the modern age make that almost impossible but one can dream.

    What is the reason for no badge on the car, is it just a case of if it is spotted maybe nobody will know what it is, or is it because it isn’t registered and can’t carry a badge until it is registered.... and like the Jim’s p4/5 scenario where he had to seek approval to have the badge on the car, could you not simply put a Ferrari badge on this .?

    I agree I think it is really special, this is a car intended only for the top Ferrari technicians to test new features, be-it suspensión settings, new drive train or even kers, this is still a very important piece to a much bigger thing and a piece that no other manufacturer would allow the outside world to see or experience, never mind own out right.

    Like the DINO, but Ferrari's revisionist history now seems to regard it as a "Ferrari".

    Honestly, i cant find the reason to buy something that it's not road legal and you can't drive it on public roads not even on a race track.

    Doesn't look like a LaF seat, but doesn't look like Enzo seat either. Have any shots of the seats?

    That would make more sense. The bodywork of this car is made of scrap, after all it was intended to end in the trash bin after it was used. They even didn´t bother to put 4 equal wheels in it. As it´s not road legal the designers could take as many liberties as they wished, and Ferrari could tease new designs, and make more money from their scrapyard cars!

    Dear Marcel,

    Are you suggesting that several mules have been saved from demolition.
    Or is this mule, apart from the car of Greg23 based on a 458, the only remaining mule and is the rest destroyed?


    Of the 13 mules that stood together in the photos of 2015, I understood at that time that they would be destroyed by a specially certified company.


    Can you give us some clarity about this?

    Can you tell us more about this, such as why and how much. Is this only applies to the mules of the LaFerrari or also to other (future) models.

    This is still at the Ferrari dealer in Egham if anybody wants to see it...

    On a side note, does this car have a vin?

    this was the only LaFerrari one off… ;)

    Now, in black carbon livery without optic camouflage, it's often displayed at MEF in Modena and at Galleria Ferrari in Maranello

    ciao

    and this photo of the laferrari tenso concept ( which's design patents were leaked in 2017) was shared on instagram by Alberto Angari, Ferrari Senior Exterior Designer. Special Projects Team. it's still unclear wheter this is just a concept model or they really did a one-off based on this design.

    Looks pretty close to the Glickenhaus 004s whose plans were also released in 2017...interesting.
