What’s happening at Ferrari.. following the disappointment of the 612, How good will the new 420M have to be.. the new generation of cars are raising the game somewhat..

Ford GT 500 BHP 200mph 0-60 in 3.6 seconds 1200kgs

Rumoured Gallardo GT 550 BHP 200mph 0-60 in 3.6 seconds.. 1300kgs
997 GT2 / Turbo variants
Will be pushing close to 500BHP 200 mph 0-60 in mid three seconds (the powerkit versions are close to these stats already)

Vauxhall VXR 220 BHP (yeah more like 280 bhp) 150mph 0-60 in 4.2 seconds.. 900kgs

I heard the Quattropole (spelling !!) engine the other day and it sounded fantastic…. Better than a 360 / 575… it really was deep with a burble and a growl… The build quality was almost S class like…
Handling, it has to be better / match than the Gallardo,
Noise… tweak the Quattropole engine/ exhaust and boy it will sound nice……
Power… if it packs 460 bhp then it will be a contender
Styling.. I hope no way near the 612.. . No one, but no one is talking about it…. What a shame…
Weight, lighter than the 360 so 1270kgs
