Predictions begin now.. F40 = 2400lbs F50 = 2700lbs Enzo = 3010lbs LaFerrari = 2800lbs The trend will be to use even lighter weight materials and push towards fuel efficiency. At a certain point horsepower numbers will become meaningless. How much more performance do you really gain going from 960hp to 1200-1300? Not much. My predictions, TT V8 with KERS and maybe another hybrid advancement for total output of 1150-1200hp and weight to come in around 2700lbs, around where the F50 was. I also predict the car will be announced in 2019 to coincide with the 90th anniversary of Scuderia Ferrari. Also the AWD system developed for the follow up to the FF will be included on this car.
I'm going to assume V8 TT as well. Hoping for 1000kg and 700hp, no kers, no 4wd, dimensions closer to F40/F50 and definitely making the car nearer to those, a drivers car and not some space ship with half a gazillion horsepower so that daft people outside a coffee shop can ramble on to other halfwits how quickly their car is and that it had to be limited because it actually deflates their lungs as soon as they look at the accelerator pedal.
I'm throwing my hat in the ring for La Chinetti At some point there will be a tribute car to him I believe
Just one more V12 please...perhaps 'The Colombo"?? Really, the next name is going to be a huge improvment whatever it may be!
I don't know the car's set up but I'll bet you right here and right now It'll be called the F75. Ferrari will be celebrating 75 years in 2022 roughly 9 or 10 years for the LaFerrari to be succeeded.
Might be a little early for predictions Who knows what cars will look like or do in ten years with the pace technology is moving at. A twin turbo v8 seems like the logical next step today in 2013 but that might not be the case in 10 years.
Probably something with Turbo, TERS, and KERS, maybe a V6, in line with what they will be doing in F1 by then.
Well if Ferrari and Lamborghini decide to stop building N/A V-12's, it will die. Sadly, no one else makes them anymore.
Not to mention federal regulations on fuel economy, passenger safety, self driving autonomy, pedestrian safety, requirements to use frm fresh cow dung as a subsidized fuel additive...
I have a feeling it will be sooner than 10 years. Ferrari has or will sell every LaF at ~1.3MM, too much money on the table to release a model every 10 years. I wouldn't be surprised if it were announced in 6-7 years.
Why not a 3 liter V12 twin-turbo with KERS? I seem to remember an Italian car company that had an amazing success rate and history with 3 liter V12s.
LOL yes, the name is right on the tip of tongue!? with the advances in direct injection, cylinder de-activation, piston/combustion chamber design to reduce hydro-carbons, I can see the V12 being able to survive on in the flagship Ferraris! at least for the near future
Did you decide to just make up weights for what you wished each of the hypercars weigh? None of these cars actually weight anywhere close to these figures unless you remove critical components....
