    The big news for the car is what we can't see from any exterior picture: this car will be a hybrid. Expect a huge V12 (rumors say either 6.2 or 7.3 liters) hooked up to a KERS hybrid system. Different sources estimate between 800 and 920 horsepower altogether, but we've heard Ferrari is having real trouble getting the hybrid system working.

    Great work in general. I think the headlights will add more to the design in being something more dramatic.

    The KERS story is not new news. That's been in this thread for months and we also have pics of the engine bay quite clearly some form of KERS set up. The new news is the rumour of problems getting it to work. That sounds plausible, but who knows what the truth is...

    Is there any confirmed news on the weight, the jurnos keep troiwing below 1200kg around, is that even theoretically possible, or are we looking for a 1300-1350kg car.

    I was thinking that last time we had a half shadowed picture like this was a few days prior to the F12 unveiling. I understand that this F70 one is kind of a leak but nevertheless, as the picture does exist I can't help but wonder if they would surprise everyone with an unveiling before the end of the year... nah, probably not :D

    I have heard as lkow as 1100kg but simply cannot believe it because of KERS. My guess would be 1200+, but it really is a guess and if they achieved that it would be remarkable. Of course what we do not know is just how much of an addition the KERS unit will make and thus the weight of batteries etc needed.

    I'm sorry, but I've always though the "this car looks like that car" stuff that gets thrown around every time a new model is introduced is silly.

    Every sports car has headlights, a grill, 2 doors, sloping roof line, etc... there aren't too many ways to completely reinvent the look of that. To say that a rear-engined Ferrari super car looks just like a front engined Corvette or Viper because the headlights and grill opening are slightly similar is ridiculous.

    You think the F70 looks like a Corvette?

    You're getting more bitter by the day.

    At least we didn't have to hear that it was a bad copy of the P4/5 ;-)
