We've been speculating for ages that
the 2012 Ferrari 599 replacement would crack 700hp
from its updated V12, and make greater use of aluminium in the quest to save weight. Now we're feeling like proper smarty-pants, because Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa has just confirmed 'on the record' to US magazine
Car & Driver
Felisa also talked briefly to C&D about the Enzo replacement due to be launched next year, as per the corporate product strategy revealed to investors recently. Unsurprisingly perhaps, Felisa says this car will feature carbonfibre-heavy (light, surely...) construction, and hybrid technology to back up its mid-mounted V12 configuration.
The other snippet C&D feels is interesting enough to share concerns Ferrari's plans to filter the new Enzo's hybrid technology onto more mainstream models.
Don't expect a simple F1 KERS-type system, says the Ferrari Grand Fromage, because the production technology 'would have to provide efficiency gains and not just extra performance.'
