Several images have leaked online of what is purportedly the much-anticipated Ferrari F600 “Imola.” While some Ferrari fans are questioning the authenticity of these images, we suspect they are authentic, considering the close proximity to two major auto shows. Moreover, there are multiple angles of the car all at very high resolution, which would be difficult to fake. Lastly, the photos seem to jive with recent spy photos of the Imola. Update: Recently, we reported that Ferrari might revive the Testarossa nameplate for the F600. While we have no official confirmation that this is the case, something tipped us off that it just might be true. The wheels shown in our F600 pictures appear to take inspiration from the star-shaped wheels on the original Testarossa. Many large images after the jump…
I am going to go out on a limb here and say these pics are exceptionally good fakes. Granted, I don’t know the source of them but you can see that the shots were, at the very least manipulated in an image editor. If I had to guess I’d say this was a set of ‘photochopped images of a ferrari 456 mixed with the Maranello and Scaglietti. Note the trunklid seams (totally off a 456) and the fuzzy roofline, also note that no recent ferrari eschews the standard 4 tail-light graphic; which this does. Another big ‘tell’ is the c-pillar in your first shot.
I don’t want to pee in the punch, but I took a real close look at these images (blowing them up in photoshop to look for mask lines and brushstrokes) and I just don’t think they’re real.
btw- Great scoop on the muira, nobody had that. I was super stoked! I linked to the shots in my blog, but unlike edmunds, credited and linked to you. Bravo on that awesome reporting!
It looks like a 612 Scag. ran into an F430. The front looks like it’s smiling – that’s the look for a Mini Cooper not a mean sports car.

Damn the new Ferraris and Lambos coming out looks really fly. I’m glad they finally started to innovate again in the visual department.

[...] No sé ustedes, pero a mà Ferrari nunca me gustó como coche. Siempre fui de gustos alemanes. Porsche encabeza la lista, mi coche favorito es el Porsche 959 y me lo comprarÃa asà sin problemas, si tuviera la pasta claro… Pero mirando noticias de mi lector de feeds me topé con este prototipo de Ferrari apodado “Imola”. El Ferrari F600 que según el tÃtulo del post es el nuevo Ferrari Testarossa. [...]
