No rumors, no spy shots and no dubious leaks, Ferrari keep remained extremely tight lipped approximately their newest supercar the J50 where the accredited unveiling occurred during a presentation at the Federal Art Center in Tokyo.
Based on the 488 Wanderer the J50 will be built to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ferrari in Nippon. And what a celebration it is with only 10 J50’s conceived for production, the Special Projects department inside Ferrari combined with the Ferrari Styling Plaza team based in Maranello have put well-adjusted an absolutely jaw dropping machine.
The J50 “marks a reinstate to the targa body style evocative of many well-loved Ferrari road passenger car of the 1970s and 1980s“, Ferrari explained. Piece the 488 Spider is a true convertible utilising a fold metal roof, the J50 will be classed as a targa base making use of carbon fibre targa panels which living behind the seats when not mounted in situation above the drivers head. The pillar-fewer doors house windows that composed with the front window encapsulate the utility in glass akin to a racing helmet.
Further changes from the 488 Spider that the J50 is supported on come in the form of sleek horizontal LED headlights on the sharply styled front end, an F40 and F50 styled black band runs the length of the car and disappears into the fag-end side air vents. From the rear you’ll bill two twin tail lights, a jet engine afterburner divine diffuser and a set of 20″ ten spoke pentagram genre forged wheels complete the look.
The J50 Testament be powered by the same 3.9-liter V8 match-turbo engine from the 488 Program but this one has a few improvements to the tune of 15kW (20 HP) for a tally of 507kW (680 HP) and overall performance is hoped-for to slightly exceed the 488 Spider even though Ferrari haven’t announced any solid completion numbers to back this up yet.
