However, the exact date is still unknown.

Ferrari is introducing a new Icona model sometime this month. Name, design and price tag are still unknown, but it will likely be more exclusive and expensive than previous Icona models. Rumours of a November debut have been circulating, with photos from a purported invitation to the unveiling of the new model appearing on Instagram last month. We now have confirmation from Ferrari CEO that the new Icona will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

According to Automotive News Europe, CEO Benetto Vigna announced the news at the company’s third quarter results call with investors. The arrival of the new Icona was not planned for 2022.

The new Icona will be powered by the same naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter V12 as the 812Competizione. It is expected to produce 830 horsepower (619 Kilowatts) or 510 pound-feet (692 Newton meters) of torque.

The new Icona will be produced in fewer units than the Monza pair. It was limited to 500 units. Rumours suggest that it could cost more than $2.5 million. The new Icona project will be revealed next June, but we’ll need to wait to find out what happens next.
