In today's blitz-style social media life, one might scroll past an image of this Ferrari F40 and get the impression this is the factory model that used to adorn so many bedroom walls back in the day. However, this Prancing Horse rendering portrays an example that has been taken down the custom route, albeit in discreet manner.
With the cult status of the F40 (heck, this was the final model approved by Enzo Ferrari itself), such a proposal will always be an opinion splitter. Well, the twin-turbo toy packs more than just a front splitter, so let's zoom in on the Maranello machine, shall we?
According to Arnold Verghese, the digital artist who put thing thing together, the widebody form of the vehicle means this has gained 100 mm (that would be almost 4 inches) on each side.
Given the revised front apron, we can probably talk about a slantnose conversion, with the lighting now being taken care of by slim LED units - pop-up headlights are no longer around in the real world and the main reason behind the retirement has to do with readily deformable front ends required by European pedestrian crash safety legislation.
Take a closer look at the side of the Ferrari and you'll notice quite a lot of changes, from the revised upper NACA duct to the modernized lower part. And yes, those custom wheels deserve serious credit for the fresh look of the vehicle.
When checking out the posterior of the Italian exotic, it's difficult to look past the wing, which is now attached to the body via a swan neck mount. That's not to say we'll ignore the LED rings of the taillights, or the apron, with its diffuser and its trapezoidal exhaust tip.
If this revamped Ferrari F40 gets you into a day-dreaming mood, it means the pixels have done their job.
