The Forgotten 1993 Concept Car You’d Never Guess Was A Ferrari – SlashGear

Before diving into more details, the stories behind concept cars are often as interesting as the vehicles, and the Conciso is no different. When scouring the Internet, you’ll find pictures and videos showing this car with an array of branding, both with and without the quintessential Prancing Horse logos.

A video from TheCaraf back in 2015 shows it bedazzled with badges from Ferrari to Michilak’s original Conciso graphics and the words “Francorchamps Motors” emblazoned on the sides. Yet, in photos from RM Sotheby’s auction in May 2018, it only had the Michalak graphics, no “Francorchamps Motors” vocabulary, and just the one lone Ferrari horse on the steering wheel.

In July 2019, it showed up on “Jay Leno’s Garage” alongside owner Franco Valobra (President and owner of Valobra Jewelry), who bought it at the RM Sotheby’s auction for only €109,250. During that episode, the Michalak graphics were gone, but it had so many horses on the shell that they could cause a stampede, so Valobra presumably made some changes. Interestingly, around three minutes in, Leno starts talking about the Ferrari badging on the car, despite the company’s notoriety for not putting badges on everything. Valobra remains oddly silent, and maybe he did so as not to admit guilt and incur the wrath of the Italian carmaker.
