The Ferrari Icona is coming in November

Ferrari’s next masterpiece, the Ferrari Icona, will debut later this year, in November. This will happen at the Mugello track in Italy, where the third Ferrari model from the Icona series of numerically limited supercars will appear. We have previously seen the Monza SP1 and SP2 models.

The Monza SP1 and SP2 are based on the 812 Superfast model and are inspired by the classic Ferrari race cars from the 1950s, namely the 750 Monza and the 860 Monza. Ferrari’s next unique project is inspired by the legendary Ferrari 330 P4 that competed at Le Mans in the 1960s.

The Icona will use the same engine as the 812 Competizione, a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 820 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Power is expected to be transmitted to the rear wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.

While the 812 Competizione has a front-mounted engine, Ferrari’s next car in the Icona series will be based on the same platform as the LaFerrari Aperta with the engine in the middle. Its unique design will pay tribute to the legendary mdoel 330 P4. Unlike LaFerrari, the special model will not have hybrid technology.

Only 300 copies of the Icona model will be produced, and we will know more details after the presentation in November.

Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder

The limited edition Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder is one of the most expensive models made in Ferrari. It is not surprising that well-preserved original units reach millions at auctions.

The British company GTO Engineering offers a replica of the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. The company, besides restoring and servicing Ferrari models, is also engaged in the production of replicas. Those who are unable to pay for the original two-seater from the early 1960s can become replica owners.

“It’s very exciting to be able to start talking about our latest addition to the Revival series: the California Spyder Revival. It is one of, if not, the most iconic Ferrari road car from the sixties and it’s something we’ve worked hard over recent years to develop, following on from the success of the 250 SWB Revival and 250 TR Revival models. The feedback from both previous and new Revival-series customers is encouraging and we’re looking forward to working with more owners to create their dream car, ”said GTO Engineering founder Mark Lyon.

GTO Engineering offers three types of engines. The 3.0-liter V12 engine is paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The more powerful 3.5-liter and 4.0-liter V12 engines are paired with a five-speed transmission that transmits power to the rear axle.

With their previous Ferrari replicas, the 250 SWB and 250 TR, they have attracted a lot of attention. We are sure the same will be with the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder.

Ferrari F8 Tributo upgraded by Novitec

From the well-known German tuning company Novitec comes an improved Ferrari F8 Tributo with 802 hp.

Novitec engineers have upgraded the performance of the “open air” model Ferrari F8 Tributo. The Ferrari beast is powered by a centrally located twin-turbocharged 3.9-liter V8 engine that develops 720 hp (590 kW) and 662 lb-ft (898 Nm) of torque. Compared to the standard model it is an increase of 92 hp (68 kW) and 243 lbft (330 Nm) of torque. That’s enough for a two-seater to reach 62 mph in 2.6 seconds with a top speed of 211 mph (340 km / h).

The bodywork is customized with strikingly styled and aerodynamically efficient naked-carbon components. There is also a new exhaust system with which the whole story is complemented by an adequate soundtrack. The interior of the car can be done according to the owner’s taste.

The Ferrari F8 Tributo is mounted on a new set of forged 21- and 22-inch NF10 wheels developed in collaboration with American premium manufacturer Vossen. All additional and aerodynamically optimized body components are made of carbon. Novitec offers two rear spoiler options, and changes to the cabin include a trim color of the customer’s choice.
