dude that's the same car from a different angle the only difference between the 2 are the first has black vents and the second one has red vents on the hood it is the same car. also the first one has pins holding the front bumper on I'm sure one is the tester and the other is the final version.

I think the first one might be a 550 rather then a 575. The front inlet is shaped differently and the roof inlet is also slightly different but they're pretty much the same car atleast as far as i can tell.

It's simply the NEW Ferrari 575 GTC for 2004 season.
BARRON CONNOR RACING used two in Le Mans this season. Both didn't finish.

The new


The old

Are you blind or what? Just kidding... The front air intake in the bumper is much wider in the new one, and the tow ring is on the left of the car instead of the right side!
Even the Roll Bar is diferent!

The picture of the one posted by Nurburn is the official Ferrari car(the second picture). They sell them in that shape. And that is the 575. The other top one is probably a 575 aswel just with a different body. I doubt you will find any race teams that will have a 550 or 575 that look identical apart from the livery.
