Here’s a new look at the Enzo’s successor. Although it looks like an F430, rumors are that under the skin lives the next top supercar from the prancing horse. This isn’t the first time the car has been caught in disguise, but it is a good excuse to show a beautiful Ferrari.
From the leaked document we saw back in September, we know the car will be powered by an aluminum V8 engine. The future F70 or FX70’s powerplant will produce up to 794 hp and 570 ft.lbs of torque. 0 to 60 mph sprint should happen 2.7 seconds, and top speed will go up to 242 mph.
Design for the new supercar should be taken from the Millechili concept, and pricing could possibly be between $1.7 and $2 million.
First a leaked document revealed important details on the future Veyron GT. Now, Ferrari has fallen into the trap: a confidential document revealed details ont he future FX70, Enzo’s successor.
The engine will be an aluminum V8, mounted longitudinal position, with double-compressor and approved for stringent Euro V emission standards. The body is made out of carbon fiber and a monocoque chassis. A seven speed double clutch gearbox will be used with reported changing time of only 50 milliseconds.
The perspective numbers are exactly what you’d expect from a top Ferrari: 794 hp and 570 ft.lbs of torque. 0 to 60 mph sprint takes only 2.7 seconds, and a top speed of 242 mph. Weight: only 1.300 kilos. Price: 1,200,000 / 1,400,000 euros (between $1.7 and $2 million at current exchange rates.)
These kind of figures put this Ferrari in some exclusive company, but the numbers aren’t better than the Veryon. Will this hurt sales, or will the company be able to sell the car on the prancing horse alone?
Here is the first spy shot of the Ferrari’s successor to the Enzo. It doesn’t seem like there is too much to see because the car is wearing the body of the F430 Scuderia.
The car is known internally as the FX70 and is set to be unveiled in either 2011 or 2012 with a price tag of at least $500,000. Production will be limited to around 300 vehicles.
Under the hood Ferrari might place either a V12 engine or a Twin-turbo V8. No matter the engine, output will be around 750 hp. This power should help make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in less than 3 seconds and hit a top speed of 235 mph.
Read our preview of the Enzo’s successor in here.
In 1995 Ferrari launched the F50. Seven years after that it was replaced by the Enzo. And now, according to a rule that Ferrari always follow they will launch the F70, seven years after the launch of the Enzo. Also there are no big competitions for the F70 yet, but after Ferrari will launch this supercar on the market for sure many auto-makers will try to build competitors for it.
