Interesting look. It was featured on the Top Gear Website. Kind of reminds me of what would happen if a Lambo had sex with a Ferrari and what their bastard offspring would look like.
While it is a stunning looking vehicle, I find that it digresses far to much from Ferrari's timeless lines and tries to steal some of the "Lambo-look". My 2¢.
Come on! Is it just me or don't you think they stole a bit (make that a lot) of the Transformers Corvette?

It must be getting pretty easy with all the computers and CNC machines to make custom cars or limited edition cars these days.
That Ferrari is nice no doubt.
Down in New Zealand they are making only 20 Hulme F1 cars, he was NZ F1 champion a few decades back. I don't see how they can do it but it has to be an excess amount of machinery and craftsman around.

Look at all the wheels and wheel manufacturers there are. You could draw the wheel you wanted on the back of matchbook cover and someone would have a polished aluminum version on your doorstep within a week.
EDIT: Just noticed it's a rendering

It's not real just a drawing, pretty good for a rendering though 
But anything is possible these days you just don't know what to believe anymore

Which is why German designer Sasha Selipanov has taken it upon himself to imagine how a 612 Scaglietti GTO might look. An ultra-hardcore version of Ferrari's four-seater grand tourer, you say? The results are spectacular, and more than a little reminiscent of the One-77.
Selipanov hasn't given any hint what might be done to the Scag's 5.7-litre V12, or indeed any other mechanical details, so we'll leave that to you to speculate. 600bhp is surely a minimum, though? And just think of all the wild technology Ferrari could test out on a Scaglietti GTO. Let your techimaginations run wild... and roll on 2031.
