SF 90 XX

0 - 99% makes it a fact
Debut in June we will know.
Ferrari doesn't show their cards and if someone is doing so - they will only do it once.
There is a saying - loose lips sinks ships and it's true.

 

Once? Ferrari has constant leaks.
The tdF was leaked in yellow
The LaFerrari was leaked in red
The Purosangue was leaked in silver
The only thing that suffered was the Ferrari proclivity for secrecy as 'the crowd went wild' yet again...

 

You think Ferrari driving around Maranello is not a press release
Hey test driver can you please take this Ferrari outside the gates - drive by the photographers in broad daylight - but don't let them photograph the car.
We all know what we see - it's what we can not see that makes things exciting.

 

The FX part is just a rumour circulated here. It does seem that the wing is fixed though.

 

Which is a lil extreme considering the 296 GT3 NA - hoping there is a lot of GT3 in VS.
I may be fixed but hopeful it's active.
There also could be two versions not just coupe and spider.

 

Coupe with a Wing and Spider without a wing.
Wing is not active but maybe an option but don't think so.
I base this on the real world publicly available photos of the finished coupe and the mute spider version.

 

This is a forum. It’s all rumor. Do you have any proof of anything?

 

What are you on about? MANY Ferraris have been leaked and the final cars were EXACTLY what leaked. 458 Speciale and Purosangue just to name two!

 

Any one else notice the guy with the blurred out face in the background? If it’s a unauthorized photo, that guy is surely being interrogated or on the run.

However, it has been mentioned that this is the same angle of a supposedly leaked photo that came out on the Purosangue before its final unveiling. As stated earlier, Maranello is littered with photographers trying to catch images of new cars, they don’t just leave the gates without camouflage unless they are willing to let it get photographed. If you have not been there, it’s like a large college campus within those gates, they’ve got plenty of room to drive within their gated walls. I’m not implying it’s not real or accurate, I think it is very close to the final production car.

Everyone is speculating on what it will take, and it very well may vary between dealers depending on how stacked your dealers roster is of higher profile VIP Clients and their buying history. I highly doubt the comment of “you must have ordered an AF Pack” is accurate. My dealer refuted that statement. You have clients who went Tailor Made non AF and spent more, clients who have bought both Stradale and Spider rather than just one, and some top clients who got the Calvacade specials cars etc. etc.. Why would Ferrari choose based on an option that customers choose to order one car? Your buying history to include at least an SF90 will likely be what qualifies one. I would agree that the list of potential eligible customers may have been sent to the dealers, but I don’t think the dealers know definitely how many allocations they may get yet, which means there will definitely be more that are eligible or qualified than will be chosen to get one simply from it potentially being so limited. They are so backed up with SF90 Spider builds some question how they will every build all these cars, which leaves the strong likelihood that it will most certainly be a tougher allocation than a 812 Comp.

 

My dealer your dealer - whatever but at least one of us has a VS allocation.

 

Sure it is ... Ferrari camo cars with odd wheels and exhausts etc - take off the camo on the ones running outside the factory - remove camo and wash it and it's the same one at debut.
Better question is what are you on about
If that had any truth - why would anyone go traveling to the debut.
Ferrari debuts are a massive cost and event - they want it to be special. No different than a bride walking down the aisle.

 

The FACT is I’ve named two examples that photos leaked and were the exact car. You’re speaking conjecture.

 

Ok.
Post four pictures that are - FACTUAL pre and debut.
VS leaked photos - post to compare and then we can compare to the final product that I will see in June. Social media is a big deal - Ferrari worlds best at branding - mistakes / leaks are intended to create excitement.

 

You’re claiming that there is no chance of a leak being accurate and I can off the top of my head name two models that were exactly as the leaked photos. I’m not claiming that the leak of the SF90VS is 100% accurate however I wouldn’t bet against it.

 

The NA puzzled me. What does it mean? Cause we know that the 296 is not Naturally Aspirated.

Well, it's not rumours if there is official confirmation about something. Stating that the VS was originally an FX project, without confirmation by Ferrari, is just speculation.

 

There are several examples of this. The Purosangue was leaked from directly off the production line several months prior to launch. The leak ended up being identical to the final version of the car.

Same for the speciale. Then there was the matte silver F12 leaked prior to launch. Hell, even the SF90 was leaked a couple days prior to launch, although those images were taken from the setup tent for the actual launch so I wouldn’t necessarily call them an “early leak.”

Given that we are only a month from launch, I am very confident that the white car leaked from Fiorano is in fact the final version. Obviously nothing is guaranteed, but I would be genuinely shocked if the final version ends up being different.

 

Ferrari is never going to admit anything. The speculation about the VS being a possible XX then changing the program came from reputable people and seems to fit especially when taking the apparently fixed wing into account. Again not documented from factory however speculation that seems to make sense.

 

The person who took the pictures of the PS in the factory paid a high price !
The photos of the VS are the real car

 

I bet they did!

 

Well, given that an FX would not be road legal, it doesn't make that much sense to base a road version on it. The design brief would need to be totally different.

 

Sort of like how the challenge stradale started life as a 360 challenge and was henceforth modified to be street legal? Or how the 599 GTO got its internals from the 599XX?

 

Dropped off at the train station, were they?

 

"Paid a high price" or "Was paid a high price"?

 

I was told years ago by the Challenge development team’s drivers that they have been testing the “ new SF90 XX” version.
So could very well be that the SF90VS started life as a XX car that was later adapted to be a road legal car.

 

Agreed. My point is that the rumor about the car starting life as an XX project is well within the realm of possibilities and would not be unlike previous, road legal, special projects from the brand.
