Ferrari has filed a trademark application for the LC67 name, but the filing does not confirm the arrival of a new model. Documents that surfaced on August 13, 2026 protect the designation across categories that include road and racing cars, components, apparel and digital content, leaving several possible uses open.
What is Ferrari LC67? New trademark sparks speculation about a future project
Such broad coverage is common in trademark protection and allows an automaker to prevent others from using the same name on products connected to its business. Ferrari has not linked LC67 to a road car, racing program or Special Projects creation, while the filing provides no details about body style, engine, production volume or launch timing.
The most widely discussed theory connects the letters LC to Luigi Chinetti, the racing driver, businessman and Ferrari importer in the United States who founded the North American Racing Team. Supporters of this interpretation link the number 67 to 1967, when a NART-entered Ferrari 412 P finished third at the 24 Hours of Daytona, completing Maranello’s famous 1-2-3 finish behind the two factory cars.
The same period also produced the 275 GTB/4S NART Spider, which Chinetti commissioned specifically for American customers. Ferrari originally planned around 25 examples but ultimately built only 10, each powered by a 3.3-liter V12 producing 300 hp. One of them sold for $27.5 million at Monterey in 2013, highlighting the enormous value collectors now place on Ferraris connected to NART history.
These references make it tempting to imagine a modern tribute to Chinetti, perhaps through a limited-production model or a one-off creation, but they do not prove that LC67 actually carries this meaning. The letters could identify an entirely different project, or Ferrari may never use the name at all, since registering a trademark does not require the company to turn it into a production vehicle.
The designation also does not follow the naming structure of Ferrari’s current lineup, and Maranello has not officially connected it to the 12Cilindri, Purosangue or any other existing model family. Only an appearance in homologation documents, customer communications or official Ferrari material would give LC67 a more precise role.
