Digital artist Khyzyl Saleem, better known as The Kyza, took Ferrari’s brand-new 849 Testarossa and gave it the 1980s face so many people felt was missing. Ferrari revived the name for the SF90’s replacement, yet the production car’s sharp modern lines left fans wanting stronger ties to the wide, straked icon that defined the decade. Saleem answered that quiet frustration by reskinning nearly every panel while keeping the greenhouse and the rear window that doubles as an engine cover.

Everything is finished in solid black, the stance is dropped, and the proportions feel deliberate rather than forced.

The name JP4 is derived from Journée à la Plage, which translates to “a day at the beach.” The new name JP4x4 incorporates the four-wheel drive feature, which is self-explanatory.
