This theme is extended to rear light cluster, rear wing, and door accents. Fumia describes this as the elliptical leit-motiv. He goes on to say “No doubt that F90 was the most complicated and sophisticated prototype ever built by Pininfarina: a difficult technical exercise mixed with a dramatic style.”.įerrari says one of the most striking design cues was the edge design that flows around the vehicle. It’s a sort of a sliding ‘Targa’-roof which overlaps the rear windshield.
Enrico Fumia described the roof: “The most complicated ‘detail’ is the roof, still unique. Interestingly, the only the wheels and mirrors were left from the Testarossa body. The engines were stock units, producing 390 bhp to the rear wheels, but the radiators were moved to the front of the car. Fumia styled the car and said the F90 name reffed to it being a “Ferrari of the ’90s.”Īll six F90s used a Ferrari Testarossa chassis which Pininfarina used to sculpt an entirely new body and interior on top of. At the time, the project was top secret, so much so, Ferrari didn’t know of the project. The project was managed by Enrico Fumia, the head of the Research and Development department at Pininfarina. A brief passage in the 2005 Ferrari Annual outlined an impressive order of six bespoke supercars which were much more daring than anything Ferrari would have produced themselves. After almost 18 years, Ferrari acknowledged that the F90 existed and six were made for the Sultan of Brunei in 1988.
