Ferrari SF90 Stradale

Zacoe’s carbon fibre widebody kit for the Ferrari SF90 is quite... something

Named ‘Lightning’ and inspired by two different Lockheed fighter jets, we actually quite like this wild SF90

Worried that your 986bhp Ferrari SF90 Stradale looks a little bit… plain? Didn’t get your name down for an SF90 XX? Not to worry, because the carbon specialists at Zacoe Performance have come up with a widebody kit that makes even the XX look tame.

In fact, Zacoe says outright that “Ferrari’s XX programme just met its match”. Not sure we’d go that far given Zacoe doesn’t actually offer any performance upgrades to the ‘standard’ SF90 Stradale, but the looks really are something else.

The kit was apparently inspired by two different fighter jets – Lockheed’s P-38 and F-35 – giving it instant cool points. Indeed, Zacoe calls the kit ‘Lightning’ after the two jets, and apparently it “seamlessly integrates numerous aircraft elements into its details, presented with their iconic openwork and dart-like designs”.

 
Ferrari has stopped building the SF90 Stradale and 812 GTS

Plus: Roma Coupe and 812 Competizione on their way out too

Ferrari sold more cars in the three months between May and July this year than it did in the same period last year. Specifically, 2.7 per cent more. Though specifically, two cars it won’t be selling in the next three months are the SF90 Stradale and the 812 GTS.

In its latest financial update, Ferrari confirmed it had “phased out” both of those hyperthings in this Q2 period – polite, MaranelloSpeak for ‘we stopped building them’. The former is rumoured to be prime for an update, while the latter is of course, being replaced by the extraordinary new Dodici Cilindri.

Elsewhere, Ferrari said deliveries of the 812 Competizione – a car with a mesmerising V12 – and Roma coupe were down, noting they were both “approaching the end of lifecycle”. More MaranelloSpeak for ‘we’re going to stop building them’.

The Comp of course, has also been replaced by that Dodici, while the future of a gorgeous, V8 Coupe in Ferrari’s line-up remains to be seen. The Roma Spider continues to do good business, helping to bolster those Q2 numbers for Ferrari, alongside the Purosangue and the 296 GTS.
