Ferrari to revive the F40 under the Icona series

Previously, Lamborghini took a bold step by reviving the iconic Countach, and now Ferrari may take a similar approach with its legendary Prancing Horse model: the F40.

According to a report from Top Gear citing a “very reliable” source, a modern version of the F40 might be resurrected as part of Ferrari’s Icona model series.

Currently, Ferrari has already produced several Icona models, including the Monza SP1, Monza SP2, and Daytona SP3, all manufactured in limited units.

The Ferrari F40 is a V8 supercar that was produced from 1987 to 1992 and was the final model officially recognized and approved by Enzo Ferrari.

With a design by Pininfarina, the F40 is considered one of the most beautiful supercars that adorned the walls of petrolhead enthusiasts during that era.

To maintain the F40 theme, Ferrari may utilize the hybrid twin-turbo V8 setup from the SF90 Stradale for this latest Icona model.

However, it remains uncertain whether the modern revival of the F40 will be well-received by its fans.

Just look at the reception of the modern Lamborghini Countach, which faced harsh criticism and did not receive recognition from the original Countach designer, Marcello Gandini.

What do you think? Is it justified for this iconic model to be given a new lease on life like its competitor, the Lamborghini Countach?
