Spied: Ferrari's Enzo successor - Automobile News

Called F150 internally, the car is built around a carbon-fiber monocoque that is crafted by Ferrari's Formula 1 division. It is made out of four different types of carbon fibers, resulting in a 27 percent increase in torsional rigidity over the Enzo.



The cockpit features a fixed driver's seat that is tailor-made for each buyer. The pedal box and the steering wheel are both adjustable.

Ferrari has confirmed that the F150 will be powered by a hybrid drivetrain that consists of an evolution of the f12berlinetta's 6.3-liter V12 engine and a Formula 1-derived Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). The combination cuts the car's 0 - 124 mph time by about 10 percent and helps reduce its CO2 emissions by around 40 percent.

The Italian automaker has yet to release performance specs but rumors indicate that the supercar will sprint from zero to 60 mph in under 2.5 seconds, beating Bugatti's acclaimed Veyron.

Precisely what the car will look like is not currently known but the latest spy images reveal a long and low shape with a wide front grille. Out back, Ferrari's latest creation borrows styling cues from both the Enzo and the f12berlinetta.

The Prancing Horse's next supercar will be unveiled to an elite group of customers early next year and it will likely make its public debut at March's Geneva Motor Show.
