This is

Ferrari’s

official teaser for the V8

hybrid

debuting this week, so let the Photoshop and parsing games begin. Among what we’ll call the traditional

supercar

makers — Ferrari,

Lamborghini

, and

McLaren

— the Maranello outfit takes the first dive into the hybrid pool, and they’re going to make a show of it. The

motorcycle

rider who ran down the prototype a few weeks ago looks to have been correct about the rectangular taillights. The last time we saw anything other than round taillights on a production Ferrari was on the much-loved Testarossa and the much unloved 348.

There’s some deliberate obfuscation going on, unsurprisingly. In the teaser, the rear wing stands up extra tall in the middle. The wing on the

prototype spotted last week

carries across the car from fender to fender; you can trace the line it makes around the rear three-quarter underneath the camouflage. Based on where there’s mesh in the camouflage paneling to let air through, our guess is that the wing does more than channel air under its middle as on the F8 Tributo. And we’ll wait to see if the twin exhaust outlet truly dominate the backside like bazookas.

VIP clientele have apparently been headed to Maranello as of this morning, ready to witness a three-day event for the production

sports car

that will sit above the

812 Superfast

and below whatever succeeds the

LaFerrari

. Eyes in Italy say there’s a large tent at the Fiorano circuit erected just for the cause. Word is that Ferrari will reveal the car online around the same time as VIP showing, with an in-the-sheetmetal showing sometime next month, perhaps at

Le Mans

.
