While the real deal is still tight under wraps back in Italy, we photoshoppers have settled onto our Wacom tablets across the globe to try to piece together the identity of Ferrari's latest Hypercar. These images are my best guess- and using a slew of references ranging from the cracks in the mule-car camouflage to Ferrari's latest form language and the infamous leaked plaque, it's indeed an educated guess.

Taking a step away from other rendered speculations, this version makes an attempt to get into Pininfarina's shoes, keeping the body as clean as possible while integrating all the necessary ventilation. The mule's peculiar front fender/door intersection indicates the F150 will have a very open-wheeled look and feel. How close is this to the real fast-plastic? The wait to know will be over soon!
Rear: showing the dramatic buttresses leading to the unique vertical element in the center of the rear. Visible here is the wing attached to the door, and the large opening behind the front wheel.
Front: showing the signature "frog nose" and excitingly crossed body lines.

After reviewing several pages of the Ferrari F70 thread on Ferrari Chat, I picked up some valid points and re-assessed the teaser images and mule car shots. What some people are pointing out is that the mule has a large vent on the front center, not an intake. The teaser is (intentionally) vague. In an earlier sketch, I had a solution like this, but I thought it looked ... rated x. I still feel that way, but here it is anyway!
Other changes include re-located carbon mirrors attached to the fenders instead of the doors and different air management inside the front grill opening.
