Why would Porsche let their onlly 981 quality, new car, test driver go drive a Ferrari

That's the best looking Ferrari I've seen: classic, yet modern, AND tasteful. I can't think of another Ferrari with all three of these qualities. The 458 is modern and tasteful, but not classic.

BTW, I see Kobe Bryant $100k OVER MSRP for his new 458. LOL.

It's a blockiness that exagerates the high beltline. The diagonals are too simple/severe. That rear image makes me think it could be a wildly modified Pinto. Lamborghinis since the Countach have extreme angularity yet are sensual; this Dino has none. Bertone, usually successful, wasn't able to "square" Pininfarina's "circle."
Some here don't like where the Boxster has gone, yet it's an evolution. Back in the 70s, it was a shock to see the Dino's sudden, complete transformation from the visceral 206/246. Ferrari subsequently got it right with the 308.
