It is covered in dirty camouflage and has pot-marked masking tape holding it down.

Camouflaged prototypes or test vehicles conceal more than the next automaker’s new product. Camouflaged prototypes and test vehicles can conceal imperfections and flaws in a car. It can also conceal the wear and tear test vehicles go through during development. The car goes through thousands of miles, repeatedly, and performance tests before it is ready to be shipped. This ensures that no future recalls are possible.

One video shows that a test car can become a bit more shabby after a while. It is shown with a Ferrari. The Periodismo Del Motor video shows what appears to have been a test car that we spotted almost a year ago.

The camouflage covers are mostly the same, but some parts look a bit ripped. It also features different-colored brake discs, but it is also very rough. The camouflage in white looks worn and frayed. It also appears dirty underneath, as sheetmetal is being used to conceal it. It looks gray rather than black because of the grime. You’d expect it to be black.

The car is a little rough around the edges, but that’s what you need in a test vehicle. It’s important to see how an automaker tests the car before it goes to the assembly line. The camouflage masking tape looks worn and damaged from the elements.

Although Ferrari’s electrification efforts aren’t yet fully documented, the company is making strides in this direction. The brand’s future is shown in a patent filing. It shows a model that can accommodate an all-electric or hybrid powertrain.

The automaker sees hybridization as a major stepping stone to EV technology maturation. Although electric vehicles offer significant performance benefits, putting the powertrain in a Ferrari is a huge hurdle. How do you store the batteries? How do you manage weight? Ferrari must test everything before they release a new product. This is hard work.
