    Yes. He admitted to erring in not reconnoitering the route. Almost fatal. Surprises at 200 mph are likely to be bad.

    Aero purposes I presume. Also note that the GT3 is a track focused version, the 458 "Scuderia" will have the same issues...

    Not trying to be rude, but: Subscription does not entitle you to a superior opinion. If you don't like speculation about the F70 then wait until its officially revealed and there's no need to check this thread. Until then - as noted above - 95% of all information is based on speculation and hearsay.

    He's not issuing a complaint about any speculation or hearsay. His issue was with people conversing in another language other than English which is the mandate for this forum except in certain regional sections.

    To have an unsubscribed member suggest that one who is supporting the site should (essentially) leave is indeed pretty rude.

    Let's get this thread back onto the discussion of Ferraris again...

    ...how do you think the fuel economy will compare to other hybrid cars, such as the Prius? :D

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    The 918 is claiming 92MPG which isn't too bad.

    Remember me the specs of an F40 (by the way I was the happy owner of an F40 stradale as well as an F40 LM GTE)?

    What should be the specs of 2014 F1?

    No problem for me as far as a V12 is there!

    A 918 Turbo.

    Now that would be interesting.

    This concept that was presented back in 2005 on Ferrari Design Competition, simply called Testarossa. If I have good information, this concept was submitted from IED Torino student.

    I find incredible resemblance between new F70 and this concept. In general cars are not same, but some details are very similar. I took F70 VIP invitation as reference for comparison with Testarossa concept.

    It also featured in the promotional video for ferrari world and I was thinking the f70 would have taken inspiration. Thankfully, though, the resemblance isn't major

    In my opinion there are many similarities with this concept from Ferrari World Design Contest 2011 too

    I would not take these F70 numbers as a given. There is much internet "noise" out there.

    The 599XX is a focused race car. The F70 is a supercar with a few creature comforts and usability on normal roads.

    If the F70 does post similar times to the 599XX then I, for one, would be impressed. :)

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    A beast! I've filmed it today on track! It has been a very exciting day because also an Enzo was driving on track at the same moment. The F150 on the road sounds WILD, but on track I have to say it sounded just a little bit louder than an F12 to me. You have the opportunity to hear it tomorrow as I upload the video. In a world's first, I have catched also the start up of its mighty V12, it sounds very different, compared to the F12.
