Dubbed the Ferrari 312T8, pictures appeared in the press comlpete with exploded diagrams of how the car worked, which if you think about it is a pretty daft thing to do if you are developing a new concept for racing." ok, found it. and they mention a little more about it. http://users.pandora.be/aerogi/Racin...m/Weird_39.htm This is a ultra rare Ferrari!!! I didn't know about it! Can't imagine the money spend on tyres at the end of the test!!! well according to them it was never made, they just made rumors about it to throw off the other teams. now wether they are saying that to deny the truth about the 8 wheeler only the people involved know the REAL TRUTH. "Problem was, none of the Paprazzi who permenantly camp round the chain-link fencing at Fiorano could confirm ever seeing the T8 in action. Some years later Ferrari came clean and admitted that the picture they released was a mock up, the T8 never did exist but was purely an exercise designed to keep people thinking about what they were up to next, which at the time was designing and building an Indycar, tested in the States but unraced and intended for Mario Andretti to drive until he decided to stay with Lotus."

Wow! An undiscovered history about Ferrari at those days. I can´t believe! What´s exactly the meaning of "mock up"? a kind of vintage photoshop?
