A few months ago, Venuum took everyone by surprise by unveiling the V40<\/a>, a modern reinterpretation of the Ferrari F40<\/a> based on SF90 Stradale<\/a>. An inevitably controversial project: tampering with the last Ferrari approved by Enzo Ferrari remains almost an absolute taboo for some enthusiasts. Yet the Dubai-based tuner didn\u2019t stop there. Following the coupe, here comes the V40 Spider\u2014an even more radical vision of a modern F40\u2026 without a roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A choice that Ferrari<\/a> which it never intended to produce itself. While the original F40 has undergone a few unofficial conversions to a convertible over the decades, Maranello has never offered a true F40 Spider. Venuum has therefore decided to imagine this alternative reality: what might a convertible descendant of this 1980s icon have looked like in 2026?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Completely Transformed Ferrari SF90 Spider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As with the coupe, this V40 Spider isn\u2019t built from scratch. Beneath this spectacular bodywork lies a Ferrari SF90 Spider. But visually, it\u2019s almost impossible to recognize the original model. Venuum has completely redesigned the silhouette with a carbon-fiber body, very low proportions, an accentuated width, and race-inspired aerodynamics. The tuner explains that it didn\u2019t want to create a mere nostalgic replica, but rather to capture the \u00abessence\u00bb of 1980s supercars: simplicity, raw power, and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection to the F40 is evident in several details: the large air intakes, the very pronounced horizontal lines, the massive rear end, the four round taillights set into a black panel, and the imposing spoiler. But the V40 Spider adds a much more contemporary touch with an aggressive stance worthy of modern hypercars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1,100 chevaux<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some tuning firms that focus solely on appearance, Venuum claims to have worked on a genuine technical advancement. The SF90\u2019s plug-in hybrid powertrain remains intact, featuring its 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 paired with three electric motors, but power output is now said to have increased to 1,100 chevaux. This promises impressive performance: 0 to 100 km\/h in about 2.3 seconds and a top speed of 340 km\/h. These figures put this V40 Spider in a whole different league compared to the original F40, which produced 478 chevaux in the late 1980s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Deliberate Provocation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With this V40 Spider, Venuum knows full well that it\u2019s a polarizing design. Some will see it as an excessive transformation of an already exceptional Ferrari, while others will view it as a fascinating interpretation of what Maranello will likely never produce. The tuning firm fully embraces this approach. The V40 isn\u2019t described as a tribute, but as \u00aba challenge\u00bb\u2014a way to envision a mechanical, raw, and uncompromising supercar in an era dominated by electronics and hybrid technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the coupe, production will remain extremely limited: only five units are planned for 2026. This rarity is likely to restrict ownership of this modern F40 Spider to a handful of collectors willing to accept a Ferrari\u2026 that Ferrari itself would probably never have dared to build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
