2020 F40 Icona ...Its Coming, Get Excited!!!!

Do you think this car will affect Laferrari Aperta value?

 

What’s more exciting? The car or the possibility of a gated shifter?

 

It’s hard to tell, as they will be two different models. They will share the same base but that’s it ; engines are not the same, one is hybridized and not the other one, one is pure « modern » design from its time and the other one is inspired from historical and iconic models.

I won’t say they are complementary as they are in the end quite different. So, regarding the value of the LaF Aperta, it will most probably keep its way and the Icona 2 won’t affect it.

 

Cant wait for this

 

the laf arp is rare so holds its value based on this

 

Is there news ？

 

hi guys

does anyone know if, the new icon, will be only in "Aperta" version?

 

What's the over and under that this one will be street-legal in the states?

 

100% will be street legal.

Keep in mind the Monza is too. Just needs a kit installed by the dealer (which extends the warranty - bonus) and all good to go.

Posting here to correct misinformation and not to reignite discussions about Mr Glickenhaus's fake P4.

Nope. Mr Glickenhaus's car is a P4 replica made by David Piper with a replica chassis made around 1980 in Modena that was built using P4 plans (not P3) and with a 3 litre 312 F1 engine mounted in a very incorrect way that compromises the rigidity of the chassis. Mr Glickenhaus has made it look like P3/4 0846 but there are many differences between it and the real car that prove it's a total fake. This car certainly did not exist in 1967 for it to have been wrecked at Le Mans in 1967.

There were no scrutineering marks on the chassis. Yes, it was described as a replica and he bought it as a replica, and that is what it actually is.

Ferrari have said that P3/4 0846 was dismantled after burning at Le Mans 1967 and never used again. They have never said that parts from P3/4 0846 were stolen from the scrap yard.

Yes, because it's a fake, which has been proven.

 

What has been communicated is USA will only allow Monza on show & display tags, valid for 2500 miles per year, that is less than completely legal, only in a limited way.

Chances are the next Icona will be 100% USA streetable, mostly because it will have a windshield...

 

Not to say it doesn't have a manual looking F1 shift system

 

I really hope for ICE-only about 850ps, and very light specs, at least -100kg than Laferrari

 

- ICE Only? Yes it is.
- 850ps? If it's the 812C engine that a possibility, will see.
- 100kg less that LaFerrari? With no E-motor and battery it's a good guess.

I think this car will be so good.

Can't wait!

 

I am hoping for the best car in the past twenty years for the brand and maybe for the next ten years. A functional beauty, rough, pure and with historical roots. A real Ferrari and, of course, a masterpiece...

 

Yes, I think (And I hope) that it will be really sublime, the LaFerrari replacement will arrive in a year (End of 2022 it seems to me) so in addition to this "P4 Icona" we will be spoiled!

Can't wait to see it!

 

Maybe Ferrari has realized that there is in fact market for a manual....on limited run cars like this is makes sense to have the option, especially because its hardly like these cars have any real mainstream competitors...

 

Even less than that LOL. Manual gearboxes for Ferrari are dead since a long time ago

 

Ferrari needs to stay profitable and with the huge challenge of retaining its symbolic status over electrification, engineering a manual gearbox now for a limited series car does not make any sense. It does not really support its hybrid strategy and is useless when going fully electric.

For sure it would have been cool though.

 

Any idea when? I leave tomorrow for Rome and will be in Florence shortly.

This is probably a dumb question, but in regards to a manual transmission, couldn’t they use something they developed in the past ( say F50 tranny ) ?

MDS

 

The problem is not finding a gearbox…the problem is making it work with the engine and homologating the package (emissions etc)…not easy…

I believe it depends on your location. It doesnt sound like there will be one big gala like the SP1/2…perhaps because of COVID…They start on the 15th
Check with your dealer

I suppose they could replace the paddles with a stick, but the transmission would still be sequential and the clutch automatic.

IIRC Dodge did something like that in the nineties.

 

Good point regarding the clutch. I assume the automated gearbox is integrated to other components as well, so not easy to to replace with manual one. And in Ferrari's case, sequential stick would not really make sense either.
