Luca Announces New Enzo By End Of 2012!!!

i would like it if they named it after alberto ascari, the only italian ferrari f1 champion.
but that sadly won't happen...

 

Nor is it pronounced "4"

 

And here it is.... pic below..



I still think Villeneuve would be a better name

Drake.

 

Those are the stats (february):

PORSCHE sold 319 cars
FERRARI sold 27 cars
MASERATI sold 5
and LAMBORGHINI sold 15 cars

But I agree that the Italian market is dead!

 

I also tought about Gilles Villeneuve.

F70 Villeneuve sounds good!

 

Not as good as Ascari or Nuvolari though. Even though I doubt it will be a driver's name. Enzo Ferrari never thought much of them anyway.The Commendatore... now that I like!

 

Patience is a virtue.

I'm looking forward to this

 

They were saying the same thing about the F12 (we are not in a horsepower war etc) and they unveilled a beast. So I am somewhat sure they will go for speed top honours as well.

 

1882 used Ferraris for sale in Italy right now on one of their used car sites

 

First time since the Forty.

 

The government is stupidly targeting exotic car owners for tax evasion. The witch hunt is on and people are scared to death.

 

The Enzo you mean.


"Zero to 60 mph: 3.3 seconds.
Quarter-mile run: 11.1 sec. at 133.0 mph.
Unbelievable.
The Enzo has just recorded the best Road & Track acceleration run ever for a road car. Its 0-60-mph run equals the fastest time logged just a month ago by the all-American Saleen S7. And its quarter-mile time and speed pulverize the mighty McLaren F1's numbers of 11.6 sec. traveling at a mere 125 mph past the quarter-mile mark. Wow!
When the time comes to stop — by the end of the acceleration run the Enzo is racing down the track at about 150 mph — the ample 15.0-in. vented carbon-ceramic discs slow the car with authority. There is never any hint of fade. The brake pedal travel is confidently short and actuation effort is firm. Panic stops from 60 and 80 mph show the Enzo needing only an excellent 109 and 188 ft., respectively, to come to a complete halt. Of note, the 188 ft. is another record, shared with the 360 Modena.
In the handling tests, the new Ferrari supercar status is once again validated by Road & Track's best-ever run of 73.0 mph through the slalom. The steering is quick and smooth, as though responding telepathically. The Enzo reacts to driver input instantly with mild understeer. Through the cones, it likes to be pushed a bit, but never loses composure. The rear stays firmly planted on the asphalt. With just a light dip of the throttle, the car can be lured to step out a bit and help turn in. And around our 200-ft.-diameter skidpad, little effort is needed to generate an amazing 1.01g of lateral acceleration. Remember, the Enzo is a road car, not a race car!"

They are not going to build a 265 MPH car.

 

I didn't say a top speed record. Even though, I wouldn't discount going for that honour as well. 900 CV with very good aerodynamics could do the trick. I am sure its 0-200 mph performance though will be scintillating.

 

I doubt they will to but I do believe this car is going to pulverize the Veyron in acceleration.

Top speed will be 225-240 mph I'm guessing.

 

Why Nuvolari??

Villeneuve would make more sense. And Enzo liked him

There was already an Ascari car. Same with Commendatore. I think considering the Isdera, Ferrari are too late with that name.

 

As long as it looks good and is lighter than the Enzo, i will be happy.

 

Guys acceleration (0-60 anyway) is still traction limited unless you have AWD such as the Veyron, 997 Turbo "S", etc. No way will the Successor have AWD, so I am sure its speed to 200 KPH will be phenomenal, but out of the hole, we will see. I have a feeling though it will hit 100 MPH in about 5.5 Seconds!

 

Precisely! Well said.

 

The new ENZO will be awesome, but let's not even start talking about putting it up against a Veyron.
I would love to see the car have FF on it.

 

Top speed?

 

Commendatore is a great name, I hope you're right about that...

 

Funny how Ferrari's next supercar is referred to as the new or next "Enzo".

Maybe the Enzo is to Ferrari like the 911 is to Porsche?


Los Angeles-Detroit, January 2003 - In this very first week of 2003, Ferrari is introducing for the first time in North America the new Enzo Ferrari, an exceptional car that encapsulates the company’s experience of winning four consecutive World F1 Titles in the last four seasons and the most advanced automotive technology offered by Maranello.

Motor racing has always been the highest level laboratory for developing road-going GT cars and such an excellent technological performance record has provided particular benefits to the company. Ferrari chairman, Luca di Montezemolo, has symbolically chosen the name of the founder, Enzo Ferrari, for this most “extreme” model to mark Ferrari’s unprecedented sporting and commercial achievements.

In 2002 Ferrari has indeed enjoyed the most successful period ever, both in terms of racing and commercial results.
