This decade will see a plethora of Ferrari models hitting the market, from the Purosangue, the first crossover in the history of the marque, and the LaFerrari successor, which may not be a hybrid, to multiple sportscars featuring gas-electric powertrains. And, as we wait for the new-age Prancing Horse story to unfold, let's zoom in on a rendering portraying such a model that comes in the form of a modern-day Testarossa.
The mid-engined virtual contraption we have here seems like a balanced approach between the retro styling cues of the original and a more futuristic vision.
For starters, the footprint of the machine has been elongated into hypercar shape, with the vehicle also appearing lower.
The list of throwbacks involves the iconic side air intakes and rear light cluster grilles of the Testarossa, as well as the wheel design. Note that the said side intakes are matched with pronounced carbon sills and massive vents placed just after the front wheels.
Nevertheless, while the Testarossa didn't come with a transparent engine cover (there are aftermarket solutions for this, though), the unofficial concept we have here integrates such a design feature.
Sure, we don't get to check out the front end of the virtual Fezza, but, at least to these eyes, such a design would easily have a place in Ferrari showrooms these days.
For instance, here's his take on a modern incarnation of the Dodge Power Wagon. And while this takes us back all the way to the 1940s, this Ram Dakota comeback proposal makes for a shorter trip back in time, since we're talking about a mid-size truck label that was retired back in 2011.
