    This youtuber seems to claim that the SP4 will be called Mugello and be based on the 296 with a manual.

    The video is in Italian and I used the auto translate function, so if anyone who can speak Italian can translate/summarize what he said, it’d be appreciated

    Back with a post in this thread after a long break…
    Last weekend, i had another opportunity to take a close look at both Icona models. They are truly modern classics, a design with historical influences paired with state-of-the-art vehicle technology.
    The Ferrari V12 engine has reached the peak of its development here: displacement, power, and torque. You can't get more than that.
    The design is a showcase of carbon on carbon. These bodies, made of THE material of racing, literally rise above a carbon platform. And in reality, this looks very impressive.
    The Monza SP1 ist a real masterpiece with a very flowing design. But i'm also well with the Daytona SP3. I will never make the mistake again of judging any Ferrari model based on photos because it isn't possible.
    From a distance, these Icona models resemble the historic models from the 50s and 60s (look at my photo comparison), but up close, they are far more. And it's also true that the vehicle size has finally been scaled to a proper size.
    Even in the Icona series, the seating is still cramped, but it's no longer comparable to the historic racing cars. Everything has simply improved, and you can drive them really fast and with the necessary level of safety.

    What can we expect for the SP4? Like many here, i'm hoping for an 80s design with references to a 288 GTO or F40...

    Ferrari have shown absolutely no desire to move downmarket for quite a few years now….

    Doesn't need to be downmarket. Charge the same as the 296. I doubt they'd have trouble selling a 1,000 units a year at that price, and presumably at even higher margins. An Icona for the masses.

    They either don't think the market is there (a little hard to believe) or can't do it because of fleet emissions requirements. Frustrating, if that's the case, that they're expending precious emissions quota on an SUV, though it's easy to imagine that's a sound commercial decision.
