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

All I know is I know clients who went today, and others flying in on Thursday. And there will be an official announcement and media release by Ferrari at the weekend.

 

The anticipation is killing me . Judging by the silhouette , stance , and size I'm confident they did this car right. Retro styling is back! Let's go!

 

Strakes r US ...

I was more excited about the P4, a modern interpretation of the above worries me, hopefully it looks more like the P4 which I know quite well and believe it to be the most beautiful post 50’s race car of the era.

in 1999 i bought a sticker at my local stationary shop and this p5 was in it among others like maserati boomerang, alfa romeo carabo, dino 206 sp etc. the year 1968 was written with its name under the photo and that time i thought that, definitely it was a printing mistake-this car can not be from 1968 and i convinced myself it was rather a new car. as a kid i had detest for old cars that time. after these years i can still remember the sensation, i felt seeing the car .

what car you are referring to, p5 or new icona?

 

The new icona, haven't seen that one before. The p5 is insane as well I'll take both

 

Pretty sure it won’t be a literal reinterpretation of the P5, especially as it’s built on the bones of the LaF and will be influenced by aerodynamic requirements.

The curious thing, though, is that they are referencing the P5 which was not really a Ferrari model but a Pininfarina design study.

 

There’s a lot at strake with this car…

 

White Ferrari? Strakes? Retro? Let’s go!

Hah I was referring to the new icona

 

So are we! Well?? Spill the beans man. Tell us what it looks like .

 

Cannot wait to see the new Icona...Especially after seeing the disappointing new Countach, Ferrari is giving me high hopes.

Seems like the new Icona is a sweet revenge for Pininfarina's P4/5.

 

Looks like strakes are an important element of the new Icona's design. The six "lines" between NEW and ICONA in the shot above don't seem to be a coincidence.

 

Damn, I just can't wait to see this new Icona! Considering that the power has slightly increased (850hp) is it possible that the RPM have also a small increase?

 

I'm fairly sure it was red with white wheels, then white with blue wheels, then yellow (as an Alfa).

 

Don’t worry your hopes will be answered…this is NOT like the new Countach!

Just to clear this up as I'm not sure I understood this correctly - will the new Icona be inspired by the 330 P4 or another model from the P-series?

 

250 P5 and Id say some P4 as well

 

I really hope not! The new edition of the Countach is such an example. Retro design is not a solution!
And if you don't believe me, read M. Gandini's press statement.
