The Ferrari KC23 Looks SensationalFerrari

We've already seen a few static shots of Ferrari's one-off, the KC23. But we hadn't seen the track-only special in motion. That was until Tuesday, when Ferrari released a new video showing off the car.

In the video, we get to see the camouflaged prototype hiding in a darkened garage. Through flickering lights, we see its dramatic bodywork, a new skin over 488 GT3 Evo bones. Its deployable aero surfaces pop in and out as the driver enters. Its built-in hydraulic jacks drop, and it rolls onto the track, V-8 engine roaring in the wind.

When the car pulls back in, we get to watch as it's unwrapped. It sheds its camo and the sleek, gunmetal bodywork we saw back in July is revealed in all its glory. We've seen its body, we've seen it's drive, now we just want more details. We know it's got the same twin-turbo V-8 that makes 591 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque in the 488 GT3 EVO, for instance. But that power output is limited by FIA regulations. The KC23 isn't a race car, which mean it can, and likely does, make more. After all, the 488 Pista got 710 hp out of the same motor.

I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising that Ferrari is keeping details close to the chest. After all, this is a one-off, and you can't buy it anyway.
