Ferrari Reveals SC40, One-Off F40 Homage on 296 GTB Underpinnings

Commissioned through Ferrari Special Projects, the car reinterprets F40 design within today’s engineering constraints.

Overview

  • The SC40 is a single-client commission that adopts the 296 GTB’s plug-in hybrid V6 and eight-speed DCT rather than the F40’s twin‑turbo V8 and manual gearbox.
  • Ferrari quotes 296-matching figures of 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, 0–200 km/h in 7.3 seconds, and a top speed exceeding 330 km/h.
  • Design cues reference the F40 with a long, low nose, a fixed rear wing integrated into the engine cover, smoked Lexan louvres, and retro headlight placement with slim DRLs.
  • The cabin and engine bay feature extensive carbon‑Kevlar trim, with SC40-branded bucket seats in red Jacquard fabric and bespoke detailing throughout.
  • A styling buck from the project is on display at the Ferrari Museum in Maranello, and the finished car remains a unique one-off for its private owner.
