Spy Shots – Ferrari SF100 Mule

The Ferrari SF90 has now been available for purchase since 2019, and that would mean that it is nearing its turn for updating. While the Maranello-based company has begun testing a higher performance model of the SF90 around Fiorano, the general lifespan of their models is not noticeably long. It’s therefore no surprise they are already working on a new model, due for presentation after their halo car.

Rumours from Italy make believe that the front end of the new SF100 looks slightly reserved, much more so than the actual current model. While this is a surprise, it is not unexpected as the brand did the same with the F8 Tributo as well as taking some details from the F8 Tributo’s nose and hood. Reportedly, the headlights of the Ferrari SF100 will be sleek and elegant as opposed to the ones fitted on the SF90, which has some of the most aggressive headlights of any modern Ferrari.

The rear of the SF100 shows serious familial ties: The large and gaping rear grille will get two massive exhaust tips poking through which will make the car look insanely aggressive while also paying homage to the Ferrari Le Mans style race cars or the LaFerrari, which needed these grilles for cooling. The taillights will be an upgrade from the fairly small rear lights found on the SF90 and are made up of LED lighting. The rear wing is going to act as a buttress, similar to many modern Ferrari models, to push the air down evenly across the rear end while the sunken engine bay allows for a larger rear window and better aerodynamics to reduce drag.

The sunken engine makes the car ready for a redesign as a spider model as well, keeping in line with Ferrari’s history of developing drop-top supercars. While the SF90 most likely has a few more years before it fades, the upcoming SF100 will be a nod in the right direction for the brand going forward.
