We expected the successor to the
Ferrari Enzo, for now a model referred to as the 2014 Ferrari Enzo F70,
to be the showstopper of the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Finally seeing the
real car will be good news whenever it happens, but even better news is
that Inside Line has just reported that the F70 will be revealed at the
Detroit Auto Show in January.
Industry insiders reveal that the next
generation Enzo is indeed in the works. A prototype test mule in Germany
reveals the Ferrari’s traditional flat front nose, tapered headlights,
and rear wings resembling the earlier 458. The prototype was seen
sporting components and assemblies probably taken from previous Ferrari
models. Motor Trend speculates that the next-gen Enzo will probably be
equipped with the 6.2-liter V12 engine just like the F12 Berlinetta.
Powertrain
Considering how the last Enzo smashed
its peers in our tests, setting 0–60 mph, quarter-mile and slalom
records, we’d expect no less from its replacement. If so, look for the
F70 to run sub-2.5 seconds from 0–60 mph, under 9.9 sec. to the quarter
mile and faster than 77.2 mph through our slalom. These numbers may seem
unattainable, yet Ferrari engineers continue to amaze us by delivering
them.
Exterior and Interior
We have no knowledge what the
gigundously great coupe will appearance like – the version above is the
work of KGP Photography, whose spy firearms have shot quite a number of
prototypes hidden under huge quantities of camo. We do know it will have
a carbon fiber chassis with a Formula One style form established by one
of the key players in the F1 team – the chassis would be 20 % lighter
than the Enzo’s, yet stiffer. Inside it will be approximately like 900
horsepower unchecked as of a mid-mounted V12 assisted by an progress of
energy redeveloping HY-KERS unit. Weight for the full car has been
reported to arrive in a snort-inducing 2,500 pounds.
Others
Although the heavily clad test mule
reveals few specifics regarding the styling of the new Enzo, our artist
was able to pull enough details to pen an illustration on what the
upcoming Ferrari might look like. If rumors prove true, look for the
all-new Enzo, F70, or whatever clever name the Italians come up with, to
bow at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. And with all the mules running
about, that prediction looks to be true.
