Good thing it's not happening then.

We've seen what theoretical versions of supercars in base trim look like before. Overall reaction, as expected, isn't so good. Supercars simply don't have base models; entry-level supercars don't exist, nor should they. Considering what carmakers like Ferrari and Lamborghini charge, anything less than stellar quality and materials throughout can't happen. It wouldn't be a proper supercar. And now X-Tomi design has come up with a rendering showing what a base trim Ferrari 488 GTB could look like. Be happy that Ferrari hasn't sunk to this level.
