Ferrari Enzo replacement artistic impression
The Ferrari Enzo successor is codenamed F70 or FX70. It seems that Ferrari is planning to shock its fans by replacing the V12 engine with a V8 engine boosted by a turbocharger or two. Sources indicated that Ferrari is developing a V8 and V12 option. The turbo V8 with a staggering 710 hp seems to be winning more points over the naturally aspirated V12 engine which could produce in excess of 800 hp.
The information is not coming from Ferrari, but through a ‘very reliable source.’ So that leaves room for doubts. However, the source is a valued customer and a prospective owner who was contacted by Ferrari seeking his opinion. Upon inquiring what sort of engine the car is going to have, the reply mentioned that it might be a V8. The company also clarified that the engine will not be plagued with turbo lag, which is often associated with turbocharged engines that make it dangerous in the hands of a novice driver. The car will incorporate many of the latest developments in the Ferrari F1 car and also the FXX experiment.
What does this say? It appears Ferrari is getting back to the times where the F40 had a turbo-charged engine. So it will be some kind of mix between the Enzo and the F40 engine setup.
A test mule wearing the body of the current 430 Scuderia was recently spotted being tested.
We will therefore have to wait until 2012 to see what the Italian car maker has come up with.
What do you think about the artist’s impression of the Ferrari Enzo replacement?
