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

The new Countach isnt really retro its such a half heart effort at it.

 

I can't believe there is not even a single blurry, lousy leaked image yet to feed our appetite...

 

6.5 Lit V12-840 HP >> NO Hybrid/KERS
Based on LaF Aperta Chassis
Weight: ~ 1,450 kg
Between 499 and 699 units

Yesterday they had no name for the Icona II - official.

 

I Think Mr @Marcel Massini said it's 850hp and 700 units.

 

Yup and 1470kgs

 

I'm not familiar with CV-PS to BHP conversion but maybe 850 PS = ~ 840 BHP?

 

I Think 850hp is 862ps, so 850ps is about 840hp yes.

 

850hp or 840hp it is going to be a monster, I just hope that this "Monster" will be beautiful.

^^

 

Potential buyers invited to the preview were handed out paper to submit proposals, ideas, suggestions for the name.

Marcel Massini

 

No Hybrid and it weighs the same as LaFerrari? What am i missing?

 

I think this is really cool from Ferrari.

My guess is that as the Monza SP1 and SP2 Ferrari will pay tribute to several models in one, I will see a tribute P3, P4 and P5. Am I far from the reality?

^^

 

That's a really interesting way of doing things. Were there any guidelines as to the structure / composition of the name?

I'd have gone for '541 P' and been thrown out of the building.

 

Too late! Sorry buddy

 

Someone show me a damn picture and I’ll give you a name.

 

Does this imply it could be a manual???

 

650P

 

New Icona may not use a carbon tub, and probably something about the new Euro crash requirements, requires strengthening the frame for side/rear impact.

Cars and vans will also have to be outfitted with:

• Advanced emergency braking for pedestrians and cyclists
• Head impact zone enlargement for pedestrians and cyclists (to include the windscreen area)
• Side crash protection updates
• Rear crash protection updates

Who says the Ferrari is retro ???

I would vote for 541 too (as previously mentioned, it’s the volume per cylinder of the 812C engine that is supposed to be on this Icona 2). Something like 541MM, P541, 541SP…

 

Approximately 87 pages of Fchatters chiming in?

 

Yep, I can bet the guys from thesupercarblog are ready to snatch an image from here at a moments notice

 

'Inspired by' doesn't necessarily mean 'retro'.

 

I used the word “retro styling.” “Inspired by” - word salad at this stage.

We have STRAKES. 6 of them. If that’s not “retro styling” I don’t know what is.

I’m trying to imagine if they did the rear strakes in carbon. Carbon rear strakes + carbon rear diffuser — I’d faint on the spot.

 

Amazing insight/information as always. Likely has something to do with the increased weight.
