The renders from Max Shkinder’s unofficial Ferrari hypercar concept grab your attention immediately. A low, wide stance dominates the profile, with sharp lines extending from the nose to the tail in a deep red paint job that catches the light as it shines across the smooth, sculpted surfaces. Aggressive air intakes flank a very narrow front end, while enormous rear haunches frame the exposed wheels and a fairly visible diffuser. The canopy is rather low, merging cockpit and body in a smooth blacked-out part that looks even better next to the vivid bodywork.
Shkinder was a senior designer at McLaren and now works digitally alongside his employment at the London EV Company. He returned to an earlier project he’d been working on and gave it a makeover to bring it up to date. His hitherto undisclosed creation goes directly for the throat of competitors like as the Koenigsegg Jesko, Pagani Utopia, and Bugatti Tourbillon. Many people believe his rendition is much more frightening and polished than Ferrari’s official F80 flagship.
- CAR TOY FOR KIDS – Young car fans build a legendary ride with the LEGO Speed Champions Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale Sports Car (77254) building toy for boys and girls ages 9 years old and up
- FERRARI'S MOST POWERFUL CAR – The completed build is packed with authentic details from Ferrari's most powerful street-legal car, including a cab-forward design, a rear wing, high tailpipes and rims decorated with the iconic Ferrari shield
- DRIVER MINIFIGURE & ACCESSORIES – Includes a driver minifigure wearing a Ferrari outfit and helmet with a wig and wrench accessory that can be placed in the single-seat cockpit for pretend play racing action
In the front, a large daytime running light sits in the center of a slotted grille, flanked by narrow, angular headlights that extend out like a pair of razor blades. The nose dips low, practically kissing the ground, and those aggressive-looking air vents pipe air over and around the car. Side views show the classic doors cutting up at a sharp angle, revealing a cabin draped in some pretty dark tones, while the roofline sweeps round back into a pretty frightening rear wing. That wing seems quite integrated, but it’s also quite noticeable, and it hints at a lot of downforce without overwhelming the car’s overall proportions.
Rear images highlight the twin exhausts placed in a diffuser, surrounded by some really neat vertical taillights. They evoke the Ferrari legacy slightly, but clearly push the boundaries with some sharper geometry. Gold-bronze wheels seem big in those massive arches, with complex spokes that contrast beautifully against the glossy red bodywork. Black accents along the sills and lower parts lend depth to the car, making it appear more rooted and purposeful.
Speculation is rife about the power available, with some anticipating a plug-in hybrid V12 producing over 1,600 horsepower to match or even outperform the competition. Ferrari took a different approach with the F80, but Shkinder’s idea shows what a no-compromise flagship hypercar may look like.
