Test mules and prototypes are normally destroyed after their work is done, but this LaFerrari tester survived and can now be yours.
Code-named M6, the test mule is based on a Ferrari 458 Italia that still looks largely stock on the outside. However, it features an early version of the LaFerrari's hybrid powertrain, including a V-12 engine. This engine is an F140FB, though, rather than the later F140FE version that powered the production LaFerrari.
Removable exterior panels are fitted for certain phases of testing . Engineers also modified the shock tower as part of research into weight distribution, according to the listing.This test mule was used between May 2011 and December 2012, primarily for testing of steering, suspension, brakes, tires, and stability control.
