Hot on the trail of photos supposedly showing a Ferrari 599 Spider, the people over at CzechFerrari.cz have gotten a set of images of what appears to be a government certification mule for the highly anticipated upcoming Ferrari F450.

Usually, Ferrari test mules run with the previous models body panels, hiding the shape from the public eye and leaving us guessing what is concealed underneath. These shots are a different story altogether. Although missing the front and rear ends, these test vehicles show most of the body, the aluminum frame, a bit of the interior and the engine bay-complete with twin-clutch transmission and high-mounted exhaust outlets-giving us what looks to be our closest look at the upcoming replacement for the F430 we’ve seen yet.

The new V8 supercar is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show this coming September, with a hybrid version potentially popping up at the Los Angeles show a few months later.

The people from CzechFerrari made an interesting find in an unknown location: a Ferrari California-bodied prototype with an awkward removable roof. At first sight, it’s easy to dismiss the mule as just another California being readied for testing, but looking through the driver’s side window reveals an interior that’s noticeably different from the entry-level Ferrari-it’s closer to the 599. While it’s hardly conclusive evidence that Maranello is working on a convertible version of its V12 super-tourer, it’s compelling nonetheless. And with rumors of a drop-top variant circulating for months and a facelift right around the corner, Ferrari could be preparing a 599 Spider before the new model is revealed in the next two years.
