    I don't think Ferrari will design their new hypercar by making a mix of their current cars.

    That rendering is basically a 458 body, with FF headlights, F12 front grill and a couples of speed holes on the back.

    The Italian magazine got lucky in terms of guessing the F12

    I doubt they can go 2 for 2... ;-)

    Maybe it wasn't luck with the F12.

    Perhaps they have someone who leaks them info.

    I can't see this one being a Frankincar based off of x-number current Ferrari design cues and lines. It needs to stand apart and set new standards for Ferrari to design off of for the next ten years.

    Do you think Ferrari will stay around $1M or hike up MSRP based on so much super-exotica sitting closer to $2M?

    Why? Ferrari is not concerned with what VW are doing. Additionally 0-60mph is traction limited and that is much easier to sort out with an AWD car. The new super Veyron will still be slower than a supercharger Ariel Atom or an FXX evo around a track. I've said it before and I'll say it again Ferrari is not looking to beat the Veyron at its own game.

    Why? That Veyron is even more stupid and useless than the current Super Sport. Why you need a car that can reach speeds over 400 km/h when you can't reach them in any road or race track in the world (unless you have acces to placeslike Ehra-Lessien). A simple MP4-12C can beat the Veyron in most of the tracks of this world, with the half of power and a third less of weight. A 1.600 hp supercar sounds completely absurd. But knowing how Mr. Piech mind works this Veyron is't impossible.

    Yes but it will inevitably steal the headlines and you would not want your product overshadowed by being presented too close in time

    Still being absurd. Even more than the SS. With the half of HP you can create an incredible machine. Look at the McLaren P1, or the car of this thread, the F70.

    By this logic all cars should be limited to about 80 MPH. Hey, maybe they should run on batteries, too.

    My friend, I want something that I can use in the road and in the track. Not in an imaginary straight line in the middle of nowhere..

    Some people think that cars that can only go fast on circle tracks are boring, which is why this wont be stealing too much thunder.
