Made to order...full analog controls too! https://www.carscoops.com/2024/08/nilu27s-new-hypercar-combines-racy-looks-with-more-than-1000-hp/ Power is provided by a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 from Hartley Engines. It purportedly produces 1,070 hp (798 kW / 1,085 PS) and 634 lb-ft (860 Nm) of torque, although the press release only mentioned an output in excess of 1,000 hp (746 kW / 1,014 PS). Questionable numbers and communication aside, the engine is connected to a seven-speed manual transmission. The company strangely listed the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) time as “driver-dependent,” but claimed the car will be able to hit a limited top speed of 249 mph (400 km/h).
It seems to me that the V6 already exists without hybridization and without additional development costs
We can see things differently. When you are solicited in the dealership presentations or in the letters by the marketing department, all say that you want it and you may get it !!!
In terms of the quality of the interiors, you are closer to Boss than Hermes. And you're even very far from the new Aston Martin interiors...
I think the Ferrari interiors are pretty good actually, at least compared to McClaren and Lamborghini. I agree that Aston is overtaking them and that Ferrari should begin to offer some higher lux interior materials and options and that would only help the size of the TM tickets and profit margins
There is a reason that the first Dino was not officially a Ferrari. Ferrari was never about small and "slow" cars. Nope, the 296 has a proper reverse gears, as the electric motor feeds power to the gearbox. The SF90 uses the set up you mentioned, as its front motors can reverse independently of the gearbox (the rear motor cannot as it is attached to the gearbox), by reversing the polarity of the electric current.
You guys are missing the point: an analogue manual Ferrari would be an expensive limited series and most "purists" wouldn't get into the list.
With a 296 Challenge engine and 1400 kg, you find it slow... They would have sold them endlessly like any atypical product. Their main fear was to cannibalize the sales of 296, they have a more pragmatic reasoning...
You are correct that it would have probably have eaten into 296 sales. If they did offer a special limited version of the car, however, I think many would buy whatever products needed to qualify. I would have two 296’s in the garage and two SF90’s to buy what you described! Yes, I’m that dumb! Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat
This is really a new Ferrari marketing campaign of subterfuge to test the waters 'for what you can't have' with easy denyability. Dr. No at his best...
By reducing power and weight you enter a territory of lot more competition. To excel there, a carbon chassis becomes more essential.
It would be as quick as an F8/Pista and with a manual transmission it would appeal only to people stuck in the past. Don 't get my wrong, I am not agnostic to manuals, I have been driving them for about 30 years now. Other than playing around with a lever though (a Freudian substitute for playing with oneself perhaps?), they don 't have much to offer in the age of the instant changing paddle-shifter.
I was trying to figure out more about Hartley Engines, a company from New Zealand that is building engines for the Nilu27 hypercar. It is run by Nelson Hartley. He appears to be a brother of former F1 driver and Le Mans winner Brendon Hartley. At least that's what I have to assume after reading this article: https://www.dailysportscar.com/2020/04/02/racing-relatives-brendon-hartley.html Hartley Engines should not be confused with American company Hartley Enterprises and its designer John Hartley, who designed/build Hartley V8 engine for Ariel Atom 500 V8.
Listening to music on vinyl is demonstrably worse in every possible way you can measure, yet … it is somehow more pure, more soulful and better in ways that cannot be explained. Same with manuals. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
One of the biggest reasons to listen to vinyl records is the sound quality. Vinyl records offer a richer, more immersive sound than digital formats. This is because vinyl records are an analog format which has a smooth analogue way with no jaggedness whatsoever and it's captured in the grooves of vinyl, while digital formats are a digital format ultimately made up of ones and zeros. This is not just about audio fidelity; it's about the depth and authenticity of sound that vinyl records can offer.
I still have a vinyl deck player somewhere in the basement, but I am really ignorant regarding sound quality. As long as the sound is clear (without the scratches/white noise of vinyl) I am good. But as I said, I don 't know much about sound; I even find FM radio quality more than acceptable.
I was in Modena and Maranello and took the opportunity to visit the Ferrari and Enzo Ferrari museums. In addition to the many classic Ferraris that stand out for their beauty and unmistakable lines and whose contemplation feeds our soul, there are not many opportunities to see a GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, a La Ferrari and an SF 90 XX almost side by side. side. In one of the museums the chassis of the SF 90 Stradale is on display and so you can see its small twin turbo engine in detail, and this way I understand better why the sound it emanates is light years away from that of any V12. The rest are three electric motors, batteries and a tangle of wires that connect everything together. If we want to imagine what the future electric Ferrari will be like, we just have to look at this chassis and imagine the ICE space filled with batteries. I won't say anything about what I think of the design of the SF 90 Stradale and the XX so as not to be unpleasant, but IMO both cars mirror what some of Manzoni's designs became, mainly details, details and more details. I was at the old factory gate and still had the hope of seeing a 12 C come out, even if in a camouflaged version, and thus being able to enjoy it live. I also didn't see any sign of the 12 C in Maranello and there seems to be very little movement around the Ferrari factory giving the impression that everyone is on holiday.

Factory it’s partially closed for ferragosto Holliday like every year. It’s not the best moment to visit Maranello in this period due to Holliday. But effectively the museum it’s beautiful with pieces of art vintage Ferrari. For new area Ferrari everybody have propre opinion depend to age. But the world change and the brand don’t have choice to follow.
