Ferrari Mythos

Pininfarina's dramatic Testarossa-based barchetta concept.

The Mythos was a striking concept car unveiled by Pininfarina at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show to mark its long relationship with Ferrari. Based on the Testarossa, it was a radical open two-seat barchetta with no roof, huge intakes and an adaptive rear wing that raised at speed. It used the Testarossa's 4.9 L flat-12. Though a show car, Pininfarina later built a handful for private collectors.
