do you really think its ugly? I think I was expecting something different, as I do think it is a "458 V12 Carbon". LOL. I still think its a sexy beast.
I really don't want to spoil your joy but that still seems vague to me: design chief verbally confirms production of a model... source Autocar... I really hope I'm completely wrong, though!
I am not a real fan of american cars, but this one would be nice: SSC North America- Home of the Tuatara & Ultimate Aero Funny but it is based on a V12 plus two turbos (by the way next year ferrari will use also a turbo engine for its F1!!)
And even Ferrari was thinking about a V8 twin turbo! http://europe.autonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130506/ANE/130439999/the-making-of-laferrari#axzz2SdeM7gEK
Thankfully though they decided against it!!! As for the F1 engine, the FIA forced the hand of the teams. Luca doesn't like it at all and even Bernie hates them turbos...
The World Speed Record should be more formal, or regulated. Bughatti is using a W16 Quad-turbo. La Ferrari is using a naturally-aspirated hy-kers V12. I'd have more respect for the manufacturer that is able to surpass this record using the "less is more" school of thought.
