those fake panels are wild lol
So being serious I think I read somewhere that the OEM design teams take pride in how ugly they can make the cars look with the camo panels.
I wonder why they had / have to put these stickers on cars under camo, whereas the production cars do not need them.
I believe high voltage, hydrogen and other non "standard" fuel vehicles in development on the roads have to show the fuel type and other possible dangers externally on the basis people approaching the car need to be made aware, ie fire brigade, police, etc in the event of an accident. After the car has passed vehicle testing the labels are placed internally and appropriate colour coded cables used etc. On commercial vehicles those labels remain external.
Perhaps we have a car coming, without hybrid assistance, and taking cues from the race car. Fixed wing, setting its sights on the GT3RS?
from all sources i hear: with Hybrid, as our Standart 296, maybe with +30hp. for me ok: as long this means for my country +12% instead of +60% CO2 tax on the listprice. But i personaly would prefer -100kg / non Hybrid. But if i should bet 1k€ on with or without Hybrid: I would bet my money on: with Hybrid.
Traditionally VS cars lost close to 100kg over regular models. Power increase was less important than changes in the shape of power delivery. 360CS vs 360M 430S vs F430 599GTO vs 599GTB F12TdF vs F12 488Pista vs 488GTB However more recently it has become much harder to reduce weight because Ferrari has been using more weight saving materials in the standard cars. So 812C loses only 38kg and SF90XX only 10kg. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
And GT2RS will have like 900 HP. Temerario 900. ZR1 1080. I think 50 HP minimum is due but hopefully 900+. Pista had 60 more. There’s precedent, certainly.
the problem is as cars get heavier and power gets higher the difference in percentage becomes much less significant and less noticible, +30hp on a 300hp car is much more noticable than a 900hp car and applies to weight reduction too!
i think its going to be an aggressive aero pack and 50 hp more. what a gem of an engine. maybe a carbon hood? 50 lb weight loss over an AF car. with the aero and hp it should drop another 15 seconds off its ring time. sub 6:50.faster than GT3 RS.
I thought one of the primary benefits to electrification was being able to turn the wick up more easily than with ICE.
Again no hybrid stickers? Maybe they're testing other components like suspension with a challenge chassis for some reason?
@day355 anything you can share on why this car has no hybrid stickers? Is this the 296vs or a different model?
I keep going back to what @day355 said back in 2022 when Ferrari were testing the STO. I hope its the answer to the STO.
It is going to be the same powertrain as the GTB/GTS, but turned up a notch. This is not really a debate, but I guess it's fun to throw out other theories.
