Default Design Study F70 Ferrari Enzo Successor

http://www.gtspirit.com/2012/04/12/i...nzo-successor/


Yesterday we received a picture showing a model what turns out to be a design study for the successor to the legendary Enzo, also referred to as the Ferrari F70. The Ferrari F70 is highly anticipated as the successor to the Ferrari Enzo that was build between 2002 and 2004.
The F70 follows in the footsteps of the legendary Ferrari F40, F50 and F60 (Enzo Ferrari) supercars. Earlier it was written the new car would feature a V12 with a maximum output of 800hp plus an additional 120hp from the KERS package. The body of the Ferrari Enzo successor will be made out of carbon fiber. Luca di Montezemolo, the Chairman of Ferrari, hinted the limited edition Ferrari will be the fastest and most powerful street-legal car the Prancing Horse has ever offered.
One month ago it was reported the much-awaited F70 Ferrari Enzo successor is nearly ready for its introduction and will be unveiled to an exclusive group of potential buyers before end of year. Its official public debut is probably in Q1 2013.
Update: Thanks to our friend Casper from @Autoblog.nl for finding the original source of this image, sadly its not the new F70 but a design study by a group of Ferrari enthusiast.

I keep having dreams of seeing it go all out on the Top Gear course. I think its great that they blew away Lamborghini's max power big V12 car by almost 230 HP !!! I know the extra 120 from the KERS isnt there all of the time but the 800 hp thats always there is still 109 HP more than Lamborghini's Avenatdor , and I have a pretty good feeling that Ferrari will make the F70 lighter than the Aventador as well

That looks weird, thankfully it's just a design study and not the actual model of the car. If it looked close to that people will call it a ripoff as you can clearly see 458 in the rear and headlights that are flipped versions of those on the FF and F12.

The 458 is the best looking Ferrari, and I think the companies design language may have shifted a bit after the 458. Since the F70 will be mid engined then it will be more likely to share design cues with the 458 rather than the new F12 with the front mounted V12
