The introduction of the SF90 XX and the KC23 by Ferrari has indeed captured the attention of automotive enthusiasts. The KC23, in particular, is a unique masterpiece designed exclusively for the racetrack. Drawing inspiration from the 488 GT3, Vision Gran Turismo, and the 499P endurance hypercar, it showcases a blend of design elements that make it truly exceptional.
One of the notable enhancements in the KC23 is the implementation of active aerodynamics, achieved through motorized side body panels that open the air intakes. This feature helps optimize airflow and improve performance. The car is painted in a special finish called Gold Mercury, which gives it an aluminum-like appearance. The liquid metal infusion into the four-layer paintwork creates a stunning visual effect.
The KC23 features a large rear wing that can be removed at the owner’s discretion to provide a sleeker rear-end aesthetic. Additionally, it incorporates side cameras in place of conventional mirrors, improving visibility and enhancing aerodynamics. The car rides on 18-inch wheels with slick tires, and an alternate set of wheels (21-inch fronts and 22-inch rears) is available for display purposes.
While the exterior has undergone a complete redesign, the interior maintains a stripped-down configuration. It features two bucket seats, an array of switches carried over from the 488 GT3 Evo, a full roll cage, and a race-spec steering wheel with 16 controls, emphasizing its track-focused nature.
Ferrari has not disclosed whether the twin-turbo 3.9-liter V8 engine in the KC23 remains unchanged from its racing counterpart, the 488 GT3 Evo. In the 488 GT3 Evo, the engine delivers 600 horsepower and 700 Nm (515 lb-ft) of torque, although specific outputs may vary based on the race series.
The KC23 represents a unique creation but also provides a glimpse into the future of Ferrari’s forthcoming models, hinting at the direction their design language might take. Ferrari plans to showcase the KC23 at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, allowing enthusiasts and spectators to witness its extraordinary design firsthand.
