We just told you about the upcoming Enzo replacement based on the Millechili concept a few days ago, but now we have a few more juicy rumors to share. Informed sources tell us that the upcoming replacement for Ferrari's Enzo supercar will take a different tack. As was reported earlier, it is believed that Ferrari wants to go with a smaller dimension vehicle featuring a smaller displacement engine. We're not sure of the dimensions or weight, but at least in the engine bay we should see a reduction over the current supercar. It is believed to be powered by a V8, unlike the Enzo's 6.0L V12. Not to be outdone by the likes of Bugatti and Koenigsegg, however, rumor has it this new Ferrari (F60?) will feature a pair of turbos feeding that V8, resulting in somewhere around 900 HP. Even with a vehicle weighing about the same as the Enzo, 900 HP would produce staggering performance. Early word was a 500 HP target figure, but the 900 number seems to be pretty firm according to our source. We'll keep our ears open for any other details we might hear about the possible Enzo successor.

I think its bad ass, but ugly

 

thing looks tiny as hell.

 

Wow... that tiny thing, all carbon fiber, w/ 900 HP!

 

We'll see about that 900hp claim. That's a big jump over the current number. From what I've gathered, ferrari wants to gain performance through lighter weight. I wouldn't be suprised to see a smaller displacement, lighter weight V8 with a couple of variable geometry turbos making somewhere around 600hp. I'd like to see Ferrari stay with n/a motors but with the rumors of F1 going back to turbo motors sometime soon, I wouldn't be suprised to see Ferrari start playing with turbo street cars again.

Hmmmmm.... ~2500lbs and a twin turbo V8 with 600hp and a plateau flat torque curve... mmmm

 

the FXX in the background looks better

 

Survey says.....

I'd rock one.

 

power-to-weight bitches!

 

We have to wait another 6-7 years before the Enzo's successor comes out. So there's no tell what it's going to be or look like.

 

Their whole "10 year" time frame is sort of out the window right now. I wouldn't be suprised to see some running prototypes lapping the nordschleife in 2 years.

 

i vote: its ugly as shit and looks like a little toy
