Tragedy!
« on: 09 October 2012, 17:09:16 »
.. or is it?

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4576813/Rare-Ferrari-250-GTO-catches-fire-on-street-in-Puerto-Banus.html

Bummer. Only 36 of them made by Ferrari. Worth millions apiece. Except Ferrari never made one with a V8 under the bonnet. Should be a Columbo V12. ;D

Count the intake trumpets on the Weber carbs, and observe the nice modern alternator in the front of the Vee. This is a more convincing underbonnet shot:



Still, what's wrong with a dollop of journalistic licence if it sells a few papers? ::)

How the hell did you spot that?

I'm struggling to count the trumpets and I'm looking at what you pointed out.

Blimey.
