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.

What do you make of the photo of this Ferrari?

The people over at the UK publication Auto Express have evidently caught a mule of the 599 Fiorano that appears to have a false hard top and an ill-fitting rear window, adding the belief to the idea that Maranello is readying a drophead version of the range-topping model. From the looks of the panel seams on the roof, Ferrari has fitted this mule with a folding hardtop mechanism that’s likely similar to the California. At this point, there’s no reason to think that the 599 will call upon anything other than the fixed-head car’s 6.0 liter V-12, but as that car puts out 620 braking horsepower (bhp), the droptop 599 should still make for one quick hairdryer.
