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

hope it is intimidating in a good way, or it's not ?
the original 330p4 , 412p and 350 can-am are curvaceous ,their voluptuous lines are proficiently translated in the p80/c , and it's not that smooth..

There's already an Isdera with the same name, though.

 

We have about 3 weeks to wait, still too long of course but it's coming! For the moment there is very little information on this New Icona, but thanks to @day355 and @Marcel Massini we know that.

- Unveiled during the Finali Mondiali.
- Limited to 700 Units.
- Will use a NA V12 Without hybrid.

Can't wait!

 

I think you are wrong!
the vintages have always had a contained weight, and this was the specifications to be respected for all hypercars and special series.
But looking for weight loss involves a different approach in terms of marketing and cost.
Today, customers are more interested in Apple car play ... than a visceral approach to driving.
But in reality, they could be as light as Mc Laren, with the same techniques, but this implies an increase in investment and a reduction in margins, which explains why we still use aluminum and not carbon today.

 

To me, the Sp 80 is a pure masterpiece in modern automotive art, just like Victor in another approach.

 

The vintage ones were in the same ballpark as today's Ferraris. Neither the lightest, nor the heaviest in their segment. They were never Lotuses though, the engine was the important component and that's how they won races. BTW Ferrari dominates in GT racing today as well. McLarens aren't that much lighter anyway; an aluminium constructed Pista and a carbon fibre constructed 720S weigh about the same.

 

100 KG difference between a Pista and a 765 LT ... But that's another debate.

 

Thanks, Mr. Massini.

 

Isn't this number 'a lot' for a very limited edition car?

 

Inflation?

 

For a 2-3 Million limited icona series， 700 is too many

 

It has been almost 20 years (since the Enzo) that Ferrari has not produced an unassisted, pure mid-rear V12. I believe this car will be a huge success.
I think it's positive that 700 will be produced. 700 worldwide is unique enough, and at the same time the car will have a strong market. It's the same number than LaF (499 Coupes e 210 Apertas), and almost a decade after the launch of LaF, the market has even more potential buyers. The fact that it does not have an electric motor will also attract even more audience.
Production too small (~300) would be restricted to an extreme minority, it would be a waste of such an excellent project and the investment made.
JMHO.

 

700 is too FEW.
Ferrari could easily sell 1,500 of these new cars by saying yes to more existing clients. Building 700 cars would not hurt the image of this new Icona in any meaningful way as all will be sold. Probably 700 plus one more special car built for a 'worthy cause' later on.

 

idk, personally, it sort of intrudes on the space where the laferrari successor is meant to be when it shows up 2 or 3 years from now. A car like this should be limited to 200 or less imo.

 

The LF's successor will be a much more advanced car, probably double the power; a car for those who want the latest and greatest. This Icona will be technically inferior even to the 10 year old LF, meant for people who are not after absolute performance.

 

No way. They could sell triple that easily.

 

I don’t think you understand, they could but it would lose value very fast

 

If Ferrari produced 200, the car would cost double. Keeping it the same quantity of the LaFerrari and LaFerrari Aperta combined (700) should help the pricing to stay at the Icona SP's and LaFerrari pricing plus inflation. (I hope)

 

Not really.
These models are unique and not related to production models in the sense that there will be another newer version of the same car offered later. These are stand alone models that have no equal in the Ferrari market place.

 

Forever is a long time, this may be their very last chance forever to make such a car (NA V12). If they can sell 700 @ those prices, fantastic!

 

Not yet
Until now 167 is still NA

 

Will the reveal be in 2 years or more?

 

End of 2023

 

is 167 for the 812 successor or the laferrari successor, or both?
