In the meantime, I have followed MKSGR's advice and bought an F40 to complete the 288 GTO!

Wow, aren't you guys in a sarcastic mood!
Okay, let me rephrase.
I think certain factors will stay exactly the same even in the finished version, such as wheel base, relative driver position in between the wheels, length of rear overhang from the center of the rear wheel to the end of exhaust pipe, where the DSG coupled with the Ferrari designed compact HYKERS sits.
Overall, I think the styling will be much much better than the Enzo. Enzo was a bit too much cab-forward.
Ι wasn't being sarcastic but I am afraid you are wrong. This is just a test rig. It's a mocked up 458 with the new Enzo running gear. The actual car has different proportions.
Wow, you say that I am wrong very authoritatively. Do you work for Ferrari?
Even the test rig has to stick to certain standards, and I'm pretty sure that wheel base will not change in the final version. Time will tell.
Just for the record: 
"The F150 will have the same height (1213mm / 47.8 inches) and wheelbase (2650mm / 104.3 inches) as the 458 Italia even though it will feature a huge V12 HY-KERS engine connected to a dual-clutch gearbox."

Re: The world's ugliest camouflaged Ferrari....
That quote is wrong! The F150 will have same wheelbase as the Italia but much lower height. Here is the official release:
This was one of the key targets for the new car, along with a reduction in height and wheelbase to match that of the 458 Italia, despite featuring a V12 HY-KERS engine and dual-clutch gearbox.

So, where is the mistake? 458 wheelbase is 2650, height is 1213

Re: The world's ugliest camouflaged Ferrari....
The mistake is in the comprehension of the english language. The release explicitly states that the height is lower (does not define lower than what though - I assume they are referring to the Enzo) and that the wheelbase matches that of the 458.
