The exotic Italian automaker from Maranello, Ferrari, is usually a darling of the auction blocks and other high-end events but has now become the trash talk of town due to its all-electric outing dubbed Luce.
Things usually happen in the Ferrari ecosystem for a reason – Lewis Hamilton finally bought his dream car, an F40 that dwindled away in a garage before the seven-time Formula 1 champion sent it back home to Maranello for a full restoration and presented it at Monza; Michael Jordan’s lost Ferrari resurfaced just in time for a major auction, and so on.
But the Ferrari Luce’s introduction broke away with the tradition of people being in awe of their models – the Internet had many harsh things to say about the interior and exterior design while specialists and celebrities expressed their bewilderment.
Well, things kind of settled into their own since Ferrari claimed that Luce actually is sold out for the initial production and with the brand returning to its usual self with new things like the Ferrari 296 GT Modificata, a no-rules track car based on the GT3 Evo but dedicated to the company’s exclusive, members-only Ferrari Club Competizioni GT program.
As such, it’s no wonder the Ferrari flame is kept alive and well – even across the rumor mill by the members of the imaginative guild of digital car content creators dwelling across the paralalel universes of vehicular CGI. For example, Ildar, the virtual artist better known as “ildar_project” on social media, usually plays with tuned vehicles – so is anyone surprised by any of these new creations?
His initial Ferrari creation is based on the Ferrari Purosangue crossover super-SUV, and the unofficial, hypothetical design project makes it Yellow and clad in contrasting forged carbon fiber aerodynamic elements. The widebody tuning project includes a newly sculpted hood with a black forged carbon visor, enlarged fender flares with fancy premium forged Vissol Wheels, plus a completely reworked front fascia with much larger air intakes and a complete aerodynamic kit.
Around the back, there’s a humongous diffuser integrated in the new bumper, another ‘visor’ connecting the taillights, a small ducktail trunk spoiler, new dual exhaust outlets in the center of the diffuser, plus vertical third brake LEDs. But wait, there is more, as it turns out.
Indeed, the pixel master also reworked with the same extreme widebody attitude the all-new Ferrari F80 hypercar, now dressed in green with silver ‘80’ dual racing stripes, a new aerodynamic package, plus subtle design modifications like the axed front visor, the reworked LED headlights, or the dual instead of single centered exhaust. The Vissol Wheels are also present here, complete with yellow brake calipers.
