Ferrari seems set to answer Porsche's forthcoming
918 Spyder
with a 920hp successor to the Ferrari Enzo, and it's rumoured to be coming this way before the year's out.
During a chat to Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa, Automobile Magazine's Georg Kacher discovered that Ferrari's riposte to Porsche's new petrol-electric eco-hypercar is coming. It will be fitted with the same 7.3-litre V12 as the forthcoming 599 replacement, but tweaked from around 720hp to 800hp, with a KERS electric motor adding 120hp on top of that (hence 920hp).
Currently understood to be called the 'F70' (though whether it makes it to production as that is another matter entirely), the new car should weigh in at close to 1000kg, so should be more than a little rapid.
It, along with the 599 successor, is also likely to be the last hurrah for the naturally aspirated V12 - a twin-turbo V8 the likely eventual replacement at the top of Ferrari's engine tree.
