I can't see any difference?
Lots of tiny details that add up. It's mostly the bottom half that's cleaner, which has a total lack of splitter element in front, has less obtrusive detailing in the grille portion with less chrome trim and foglights and the side intake that hadn't been added yet. There's also a lack of turn signals on both black and red, and an absence of the Pininfarina text logo. The pop-up headlights on the prototype are far more flush to the body too.

So, I figure the reason it was being pushed is that it has no engine?

Now i've seen the other 3 pictures from the set, i can see how it's that little bit sleeker without the necessary road legalness that the production 365 GT4/BB has. Although as a show car it is incredibly close to the production model.

May I say that I don't like the R8? and not get lynched?
Yeah, I really am not too keen on the R8 either.

Not that I know of. My room mate just sent my a link to that over AIM... and he is asleep now. I'll ask about it tomorrow I guess.

Put it in imports, but I guess it makes more sense here.
What a great shot! The '68 33 Stadale is one of my all time favorite cars. It very rarely ever shows up at auction. In fact, one was supposed to come up on the block at last year's Leggenda e Passione event, but failed to materialize.
I got a tip from Wayne Carini that a '68 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale may make a surprise appearance on the auction block. If so this would be quite unprecedented, as the last time one ever came up for auction was more than ten years ago.
The Stradale was the road car version of the famous Autodelta Alfa Romeo T33 racing car designed, engineered, and built by Scaglione, Marazzi, and Chiti. The Stradale has often been considered to be the first production car to ever use butterfly doors. Less than 20 were ever built and only 13 are known to still exist, half of which are in museums the others are with collectors.
As a matter of fact, one of them is owned by Alfa Romeo and will be temporarily leaving their museum in Arese to lead this year's historic Coppa Milano-Sanremo rally. Joining it will also be a few multi-million dollar Alfa 8C's in honor of the rebirth of the 8C brand of high performance Alfa sports cars.
Besides the 33 Stradale's striking body and chassis, Chiti's brilliantly designed fuel injected 2.0 liter V8 engine is a true marvel of engineering, and red lined at an unbelievable 10,000 RPM producing 250 horses. Combined with Colotti's remarkable six-speed transaxle gear box, and weighing only 1,500 lbs this car could reach 60mph in just 6 seconds and top out at 175 mph. At that time they were the most expensive road cars ever sold at about $17,000.
While not nearly as valuable as the Ferrari 512 S, if an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale really does show up, it should get a very good price!

The 930 Porsche is my favorite model of all time!
Found these pictures of some Porsches built by Rauh Welt, is a tuning company from Japan that specialises in Porsches. In my opinion they build spectacular cars!
