The Mythos is a concept car based on the Testarossa, styled by Pininfarina and first revealed at the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show. Its wedge profile and large side intake ahead of the rear wheels derive from the Testarossa platform. The open Barchetta was initially intended purely as a show car, but two additional fully functional cars with fixed steel roofs were delivered to the Sultan of Brunei with factory support. The design later inspired the F50, the successor to the F40. The original show car is housed at the Pininfarina design center in Cambiano.
