Ferrari F40 Returns Unofficially: Venuum Builds an Open V40 on the SF90 Spider

Tuner Venuum is building the V40 Spyder, an open-top take on its F40-inspired supercar based on the Ferrari SF90 Spider, with up to 1,000 hp on tap.

Venuum is preparing the V40 Spyder — an open-top version of its Ferrari F40-inspired project. While the closed V40 was built on the SF90 Stradale, the new Spyder apparently uses the Ferrari SF90 Spider as its base. The tuner is keeping things brief for now: the project has already started and will be unveiled “soon.”

The idea behind the V40 is simple and risky at the same time: take a modern hybrid Ferrari and visually turn it back into an F40. The Spyder keeps the same overall approach as the coupe: a wedge-shaped silhouette, sharp lines, large air intakes, wide shoulders and the attitude of a late-1980s supercar, without trying to be an exact replica.

In the published images, the car is shown in grey bodywork with double teal stripes running the full length of the car. The same colour appears on the side accents and brake calipers, while black elements add contrast. Inside, the theme continues asymmetrically: the driver’s seat is finished in teal and black, the passenger’s seat in the reverse combination. Teal accents also appear on the door cards, steering wheel and other interior details.

Venuum is staying quiet on the technical side for now. If the SF90 Spider’s powertrain is carried over unchanged, the car will keep its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors. Combined output stands at 1,000 hp and 800 Nm. The standard SF90 Spider sprints to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, reaches 200 km/h in 7 seconds, and tops out at 340 km/h. For an owner, a project like this is about more than outright speed.

A regular SF90 is already fast enough, so the point of the V40 Spyder lies in its rarity and looks. It’s a way to get a modern hybrid Ferrari while nodding visually to a car that remains one of the defining icons of the analogue supercar era.

The risk is clear too. Any deep rework of a Ferrari balances between collector value and personal taste. Some will love the bold attempt to bring the F40 back as an open car, others will feel that reworking the SF90 this way goes too far. But the V40 Spyder has a strong case in its favour: it doesn’t look like a random collection of parts. If the production version keeps the proportions shown in the renders, this could become a rare piece of Ferrari tuning where nostalgia works just as hard as horsepower.

32CARS.RU previously reported that tuner Venuum unveiled the V40 supercar styled after the Ferrari F40.
