Ferrari F70 Enzo Replacement to Receive Twin-Turbo V8

Can't wait for it, but really just 1000 kg? That's lighter than the f40 and that was a very basic car.

That's unbelievable engineering. The definition of competitive and passionate spirit in motor racing.

Basically it is a turbocharged carbon fibered 458 Italia. To think about it, the all-carbon baby McLaren has a turbocharged V8 and is similarly priced; if not cheaper than a regular 458. On the bright side is finally a Ferrari that is light with some torque that won't be embarrassed with some diesel German executive saloons. Let's see what Lamborghini, Porsche and Pagani or McLaren will come out with..

Can't wait to see Porsche's new supercar! This Ferrari sounds amazing though!

600bhp-ish per ton.... sweet!

as usual, the top Ferrari sets the benchmark for another few years after it's finished.

hemi 426; Your right it is lighter than the F40 but you ahve to remember the F40 was also a Carbon Kevlar composite which is not aslight as Carbon Fiber. The Chassis on the F40 was also a tube steel chassis which added substantial weight to it as well. As you see by my tag name and my pic I am a huge fan of the F40. I personaly think the F40 is the most Iconic Ferrari made since it was so purpose built. It is just a shame that they produced them in such numbers which has ultimately hurt the resale and collectability value of the cars. I really do hope that Ferrar goes in the direction of making a harder core race bread car again. I also hope it is true to the picture in design. I love the performance figures of the 458 Italia but am not overly excited from the design of the car. I am also a person who started my love of cars during the F40/959 battle so I am partial to that era of design. I still love the sleekness the F40, Bugatti EB110, and Lamborghini Diablo SV had at that time. I would love to have all of these cars in a Garage of my own one day.

1000kg ? I really dont believe it. they would by happy for 1150kg ... even mclaren failed to achieve to build F1 as planned (1000kg) and I dont think this car will cost a milion

Ultima GTR, same performance for fraction of the cost.

660HP is a bit disappointing to be honest. I always thought the F70 would be as powerful as the FXX!

Yeah, well they gotta leave something in the tank for the F70 FXX.

wow just 1000kg? damn, that should really have a great affect on, on everything basically, 0-100, 80-120, handling. wow. but all carbon fiber and whatnot that's gonna be costly. how safe is making everything carbon fiber? can it bend and absorb the energy like metal when u hit a vehicle??

@XtremeMaC01 You know what Stallone aka. J. Rambo said: Live for nothing or die in a Ferrari xD.

Twin turbocharged V8 with 1000kg, is this a modern reincarnation of my favourite supercar of all times? (the F40) I hope it is! I'm not okay with those who say that 660hp aren't enough. I think that if Ferrari respects that target weight, they won't need more power.. just look at the F40, it "only" has 478hp. Besides, that's part of Ferrari's future plans: focusing on weight saving instead of focunsing on making more powerful engines... Finally i think the main reason why this car will be so expensive is its weight..

It's from Autoexpress, everyone take a cup of salt with this information.

sexiness refined!

1000kg 2012 ferrari?? i just dont see it happening.. yes the car will be lighter than the enzo as it had a heavy v12 engine. v8 twin turbo is a lighter more efficient set up however 1000kg target is too extreme in my opinion. Along with 660ps, you will see many on wrecked exotics after the pick up dates and ferrari wouldnt build cars that are twitchy under slight acceleration for their customers to drive on public roads.. i wont believe the weight figures till i see it for real because its not realistic..

Oh!!! my favorite car have arrived!

Take this, Veyron! this car sounds exciting.

Ferrari sets a very good example here regarding automotive lightweight. I hope other manufacturers will follow. At the end of the day, this is the future to enhance performance. It is unreasonable to have a car with 2000 hp while weights 2~3 ton.
