ach no, they should've worked on the ventilation system to get air in/out quicker. well, 80 hp = 60kW, not so much power lost. perhaps the weight of the turbos being left out could compensate for that :P

hey guys calm down, just cause there was a public problem with one car doesnt mean there isnt problems with every single other car in the developing phase. im sure the production vehicle will have all this fixed and will run like a dream.

Enzo died in 88. It's last production, if I remember, was the F40. The F40 was lunched for the 40th aniversary of Ferrari. The F50 was released 2 years before the 50th anniversary and so the F60 for the 60th. But they lunched the F60 to earlier (2002 instead of 2007 for 60 years), so they decided to name it the Enzo. I may be wrong tho..

500hp is only 80 more hp than a regular r8. its more like an S model rather than RS.

The RS8 actually is a R8 S-Model, otherwise theyÃ‚Â´d call it RRS8 ;)
