New Ferrari SP48 Unica supercar unleashed

One-off commissioned Unica is based on F8 Tributo and gets 530kW twin-turbo V8

Up top, the F8’s body has been dumped for a dramatic all-new design fashioned by the Ferrari Styling Centre. In comes a Roma-inspired snout that benefits from advanced modelling techniques and 3D prototyping created to efficiently channel air. 
At the rear, the design is even more radical. The rear window is no more as it’s replaced by a far sleeker rear deck.

 The F8 Tributo’s striking quad tail lamps have also been traded for a slim LED light bar that, again, hints at the Roma. 
Fresh ninja-star-looking alloy wheels have been introduced while further changes include reprofiled side intakes, new sills and side skirts that are all claimed to boost the SP48’s aero efficiency at high speed. There’s no news what’s happened within, as Ferrari has yet to release interior pics but it’s thought the cabin architecture largely carries over from the F8 Tributo. 
Numerous weight savings have thought to have been made, including a pair of sport seats that use laser perforated Alcantara. Lurking beneath the rear boot lid is, what’s thought to be, the standard F8 Tributo’s twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 that produces 530kW and 770Nm of torque. Combined with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission the lighter one-off SP48 Unica should easily match the F8’s 0-100km/h sprint of 2.9 seconds. Top speed, meanwhile, should be more than 340km/h. If you’re wondering about the unusual ‘SP48’ name, the latest unique Ferrari supercar is named in reference to the fact it’s the Italian brand’s 48th special projects car. 
The Maranello-based firm has yet to reveal how much the one-off Ferrari SP48 Unica costs but we expect it ton be priced as much as three-four times the $484,888 charged for the F8 Tributo in Australia.
