2025 TASKL to showcase Liberty Walk’s Ferrari F40 and Super Silhouette ER34!

This year’s 2025 Tokyo Auto Salon Kuala Lumpur (TASKL 2025) will be highlighted by the presence of two iconic vehicles from Japan.

The featured models are the Ferrari F40 and the Super Silhouette ER34, built by Liberty Walk.

Visitors to TASKL 2025 will also have the opportunity to purchase exclusive merchandise and meet Wataru Kato, the founder and owner of Liberty Walk, at their booth.

 

Ferrari F40

The Ferrari F40 by Liberty Walk was unveiled to the public in 2023, showcasing a wider body kit and a chassis that sits closer to the ground.

It is said that this F40 has been removed from Ferrari’s official listings due to excessive modifications that stray from Ferrari’s original design philosophy.

Despite the more aggressive body kit, the Ferrari F40 retains its 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, producing 471 hp and 578 Nm of torque.

The wide body kit created by Liberty Walk includes a front cowl, front diffuser, side diffusers, fender flares, rear diffuser, and a rear wing, all of which enhance its aggressive appearance and improve aerodynamics.

The original Rosso Corsa Red color of this F40 has been replaced with a white wrap and red circular accents reminiscent of the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter jet from World War II.

 

Super Silhouette ER34

The Super Silhouette ER34 made a splash at the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon.

It is based on the racing machine Skyline Super Silhouette KDR30, driven by Masahiro Hasemi during the Super Silhouette Formula races in 1982 and 1983.

The iconic red and black livery has become highly sought after by diecast model collectors.

The original RB25DET NEO engine of the ER34 has been replaced with an L28 engine, which has been upgraded to 3.1 liters and fitted with three 50 mm twin-draft Solex carburetors.

The full body kit designed by Liberty Walk for the ER34 consists of a front bumper, wide fenders, side skirts, a rear bumper, a rear diffuser, and an aggressive rear wing.

Each of the four wheel arches is adorned with 18-inch Yokohama Advan Racing GT wheels.

TASKL 2025 will take place from August 8-10 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC).

Ticket prices are as follows:

  • RM48 (one-day pass for adults)
  • RM30 (one-day pass for children aged 6-12)

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?
