This Ferrari prototype, known internally as the F150-M6, is a lot more than just a stupendously ugly, hacked-up 458.
That includes the Type 140FB V-12 engine fitted with the Kinetic Energy Recovery System , a race-bred performance hybrid powertrain. It produces a stonking 950 horsepower, still an impressive figure ten years later. It's somewhere in there, under the hose and wires that looks more like the conduit aisle of a Home Depot rather than the engine bay of a rarified Ferrari.
This early prototype was sold after development was complete to a private owner, even though it couldn't be made road legal. Who knows what it was used for—the ultimate golf cart?—. It's estimated to bring up to approximately $2 million at auction. On one hand, that's a lot of cash for something that is difficult to use and even more difficult to look at, especially with the camouflage panels in place. On the other hand, it's a monumental bargain, the ability to see how Modenese sausage is actually made. For someone with an engineering background, this is probably a fascinating artifact that shows just how early development of an advanced, rather novel powertrain for Ferrari is actually carried out.
