The Ferrari 488 Pista is a serious performance car
with a silly name. This imaginary, hardcore Ferrari 812,
would also be extremely potent and also wears a less-than-flattering name.
In Russian, Pizda means ‘p**sy’ and in Polish, it
means ‘tw*t’, so the 488 Pista certainly caused some giggles at its Geneva
Motor Show debut. Dubbed the 812 Curva, the renderings of this extreme model
are actually quite convincing but one look at the big rear wing and the
vehicle’s name tells you that someone is simply playing an April Fool’s Joke.
The Polish equivalent of Curva is Kurwa and
it translates directly to ‘Wh*re’. Could Ferrari ever be dumb enough to do this
twice? Names aside, the vehicle presented is rather intriguing and provides a
hint of what a future stripped-down and more powerful version of the 812
Superfast could look like.
Obviously, there’s no chance Ferrari would sell one
of its vehicle’s with such a gargantuan rear wing but elsewhere, some elements
are entirely possible. For example, the custom rear diffuser looks perfect for
a new 812 variant. The front fascia is also radical enough for such a vehicle.
In fact, it’s splitter, canards, and huge air intakes are perhaps a little too
wild for a future Ferrari production car.
In the original post over at Gran Turismo Events, a
fake quote from a senior sales specialist at Ferrari has been included, taking
a stab at Ferrari’s penchant for unveiling new models only to announce that
they’re already sold out.
