THE F70 (LaFerrari) Thread

There was an article somewhere about that. And they were explaining both the benefits and the drawbacks of presenting both the McLaren and Enzo's successor at the same time. If the McLaren is going to be presented in Paris for sure, then it is very unlikely Ferrari will show their hypercar there too. The idea is to "steal the show" and the two cars at the same event will take eachother's thunder.

 

The car Will not be presented in paris, this is 99% sure

 

Why ferrari presented in Paris ?

 

E molto strano perche il présidente la annuciato per fine del anno voleva dire per parigi visto Che e l'ultimo salone importante del'anno ?

Ai notizie da maranello ?

 

No, the President said "end of year viewing" for the selected few and was not referring the public unveiling of the car.

 

Same situation whit 599 sa aperta and finali as presented at motorshow.

I'am sur new enzo presented at paris

 

Speaking of nurburgring lap times. 1 litre Ford, road legal on treaded tyres, 7:22!

excuse the off title post, but it is on topic ;o)

 

On 10/27 we're hoping for about a 6:45 street legal on slicks, HP restricted,with ballast.

 

Have you seen those so called road leagel tyres? lol

 

Which will be faster around the Ring?

P12

New Enzo?

I say P12.

 

P12 will have much better power to weight ratio so F70 can only have better aerodynamics

 

given what we 'know' so far, i would say P12 also (1000hp total, massive aero, less wgt). Both cars will be ridiculous, but the Mac faster around the NS by just a smidgen. However, i would also hazard a guess that the new 'enzo' driver would be the one having the more thrilling ride (the noise, the throttle response, etc.)..but that's subjective to be deemed 'objective' in a sense if more folks agree

P12 7:03
'Enzo' 7:06

my other guess, 2013 spec P4/5CM, no air restriction, full ballast, road legal but with slicks

NS: 6:35

Lexus LFA 2014 'variant' spec, 'cup' tyres, 7:06!!!

 

No new pictures around..?

Gr. Martin

 

so that puts her ~2900lbs, ~520hp. 6:45? yes.
2900lbs, ~650hp...........................6:35!!!

latest Zonda R 'evo' spec (revised aero, 760hp)....6:38!!!

 

Well, it would be more prudent to wait for the actual cars before making unfounded predictions.

 

Against the nature of the Internet to do that.

 

And in the same time Mclaren is announcing today the presentation of the new F1 in Paris auto show end of this month.

 

Interesting. I wonder if Ferrari are considering pulling the F70 from Paris and delaying to Geneva? This will at least steal some thunder...

 

There is NO way Ferrari will show the F70 in Paris. The car is NOT ready

Geneva is the earliest.

 

Ferrarichat has decided otherwise. lol

 

Yup. They're actually still in the planning/design stage with certain aspects of this car. They are quietly 'rethinking'.

 

Dont know if this was brought up yet in this thread but since the F70 is going to be a hybrid can a US based purchaser apply for some US Government subsidies or rebates?

 

New render/illustration of a potential design posted up to autoblog today:

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/05/this-is-what-the-ferrari-f70-might-really-look-like/

Doesn't look as sharp and polished as I'd expect from Ferrari, but it has some nice elements.

 

That question may have to wait until November.

 

LOL...I was joking of course but the least they could do is give the purchaser one of those decals so they could drive in the HOV lane
