The car was described as a 2001 red Ferrari. It was going westbound on Santa Fe Drive as it left the scene, officials said.

The victim's identity was withheld pending notification of his family.

Very true. One report said an "older" red Ferrari.

Being a European car enthusiast site I figured I'd post this since some of our members are in the Ferrari circles and might know of a car with suspicious front end damage.

maybe from paint samples...ie a color that was only offered in 2001 or something very unique to 2001 model-year ferraris.

like my green a4 paint that was only available in 96, 97.
