Because the rear overhang was almost non-existent, overall length was reduced despite Pininfarina crafting an air-piercing elongated nose. Retractable headlights were ditched in favour of fixed units mounted underneath clear covers, other Testarossa trademarks like the famous slatted engine intakes also being discarded. State of the art aerodynamics were employed with front and rear spoilers being electronically activated once the Mythos hit 100km/h, these retracting back when the speed dropped below 70km/h. Several details were later adopted by Pininfarina for other Ferrari’s, similar wheels being used on the F512M whilst the FX incorporated a headlight arrangement clearly inspired by the Mythos. With aerodynamic efficiency having been top of Pininfarina’s agenda, they must have been suitably happy with a drag coefficient of 0.27, weight having dropped substantially too (now just 1250kg). This meant the 0-60mph time dipped below five seconds whilst top speed was more or less unchanged at around 180mph. In addition to the fully operational Mythos later sold to Japan (EAG 026), Pininfarina also created a non-running mock up that remained in Turin. Additionally, Ferrari’s best customer, the Sultan of Brunei, was so impressed with the Mythos he commissioned a trio for his private collection. These were all manufactured by Pininfarina in right-hand drive and came painted red, blue and black.
