Thought the Ferrari SF90 Stradale was
cool? Well, this Ferrari hypercar study
dubbed the Stallone and designed by Murray Sharp, makes the SF90 look
pedestrian. In designing the Stallone, Sharp looked to combine the finesse and sculpted
beauty of the Ferrari 250 GTO with the bold and uncompromising racing lines of
the F40. The study went through a series of iterations before the final design
was settled on.
Dominating the front of the Ferrari
Stallone are a host of air intakes and a set of sculpted headlights. The
hypercar also includes a striking carbon fiber front splitter and features
small rear-facing cameras as opposed to traditional wing mirrors. We’re also
particularly fond of the design of the windshield that’s more curved than you’d
ordinarily find on a Ferrari, allowing the designer to shift the position of
the A-pillars to improve outward visibility.
The sides are just as sexy as the front of
the car and include large air tunnels to improve the aerodynamics while also feeding
the mid-mounted powertrain. As amazing as the front and sides are, however, it
is the rear of the concept that we love the most thanks to the presence of a
sharp diffuser, F1-inspired rain light, and semi-circular LED taillights. The
hypercar also features top-exiting exhaust pipes much like the Porsche 918
Spyder.
Late last year, Ferrari revealed that its
latest hypercar will arrive after 2022 and could focus on lightness,
aerodynamics, and controllability, indicating that it may, in fact, have less
power than the 986 hp SF90 Stradale.
