Ferrari’s latest special edition has been spotted undisguised in a factory by Instagram user ‘SF90LM’[↗]. The account shared this image and has posted multiple images from Austrian photographer Derek Cornelissen [↗].

The account also suggests that the track-focused edition of the hybrid SF90 will be known as the SF90LM – the ‘LM’ standing for Le Mans – though this is not yet confirmed.

@SF90LM’s bio also claims the car will be unveiled in June – potentially coinciding with the Le Mans 24-Hour endurance race – and that there will be 799 coupes and 499 ‘Aperta’ drop-tops built. How they know that, and if the numbers are accurate, we’re not sure.

The worked-over SF90 will almost certainly develop more than the ‘regular’ SF90’s 735kW. Unlike the V6-powered 499P Hypercar racer, this special edition of the SF90 is likely to be powered by the same 4.0-litre V8 petrol hybrid as the coupe and convertible.

It also appears to have vents on the rear arches for tyre/brake cooling, an engine cover with vents and minimal glass, different alloy wheels, and extended rear diffuser.

Speaking of aerodynamics, the ‘SF90 LM’s' massive swan neck rear wing is hard to miss, and in other spy images, you can see a more aggressively-profiled front valance to match.

Unlike the LaFerrari (limited to 499 units), the SF90 coupe and convertible were not given limited production numbers by Ferrari, and continue to be produced at the Maranello factory.

It’s expected that the new version will be constructed in limited runs. Ferrari could go down the track-only route as it did with the FXX (2005-2007), though the fact development cars have been spotted on the road suggests it will be a multi-purpose hypercar.
