    I always figured this car was never made for le mans even with them putting LM in the name. It looked nothing like an lmp1. So when i saw that center exhaust in the vid i already knew where this was going. When ferrari puts their mind to it they can really do some cheeky stuff.

      @@study_666 Doesn´t look like it made enough downforce, even at the time. No Ferrari beat the Zonda R, prototype or not, they´re generally not that good at the Nürburgring
      Edit: It makes downforce, I mean it doesn´t look ring proof, it was designed for testing on a completely smooth track. Plus who the hell hides a Nürburgring prototype, it was clearly more important

    I'm sure there are plenty of other stories of this type!
    Personally, I would like to see more F1 testing and dumping the uninteresting new tracks (sorry Mr Tilke).
    One of the really good features of Le Mans in the sixties was the SLR class which led to so marvellous cars.
    This is worth a tale in itself as there were some interesting aerodynamics that were simply forgotten until decades later.

      Gotta defend tilke here. His tracks don't suck. just the fixed parts around landmarks which were out of his control. If every new track were by hugenholtz, it would be just as "uninteresting."

    I remember watching the video of that prototype going around Fiorano over and over again, as the rumours started flying it was indeed the 2014 F1 engine. As a Ferrari fan, it was a shame that engine turned out to be very underwhelming (the car itself was too for that matter).

    F150 name appeared during mandatory F1 summer break in 2013. FIA has means to check if teams are actually out. Thus, we were instructed by Farrari to avoid any reference to F1, and instead all communication should be about "F150" project.

    A few years ago the info plate infront of the car used to humorously claim that the engine is a 6262cc V12 and that the project was "to verify the car's potential in a hypothetical enclosed wheel car championships" and adding that "the aerodynamic appendages and clearly F1-inspired aeroscope air intake are interesting."

      Actually, yes. The LMP1-H regulations were amended to allow the 2014 F1 V6T-H to compete at LeMans. It was way too expensive and they would never last the full race (even the highly-detuned AMG-One needs a rebuild every 50000kms)
