Ferrari has applied patent drawings for a new
hypercar that based around the LaFerrari. It’s not uncommon for automakers to
publicize patents for future cars, but we usually learn about them after seeing
said vehicles in the flesh.
Given its proximity to the LaFerrari, our guess is
that it’s a one-off creation from the Italian brand’s Special Project (SP)
division that churns out specially fabricated cars based on production models
for wealthy clients. Some of their most recent builds include the F12tdf-based
SP275 RW Competizione and the 488 Spider-based J50.
While we were tipped off on the photos from Jokejoe
over at the VWVortex forums, we traced them back on the European patent
registry and can confirm that they belong to Ferrari which applied for the
patents on August 2016.
The Italians don’t keep their SP creations a secret
for long, so we should learn more in the coming months.
