NEW MID ENGINED V6 (LITTLE BROTHER)

Let's see if that makes it production, does not seem possible that unburnt fuel will make it through both the GPF and Catalytic Converters...

 

The merger between FCA and PSA is equal (50-50 stake in the new company) and the FCA part is actually the bigger stakeholder in terms of volume and finances.

 

Also John Elkann is the largest single shareholder and the real Boss of Bosses

 

Peugeot family just bought 2% additional shares to almost match Exor (Elkann) participation, 14.4% vs 14.5%; in addition the French state has 6.2% of Peugeot so that 6 of 11 members of the board will come from the French part - and the operational boss of Stellantis will be Carlos Tavares, current boss of Peugeot.
This is not even considering the Chinese DongFeng, which is a shareholder of Peugeot and will become shareholder of Stellantis - DongFeng is set to gradually disengage, which is one reason why the Peugeot family has increased their shares before the merger.

 

Elkann is the Executive President though, whilst remaining the largest shareholder, and the next CEO will be come the FCA (they are rotating).

 

Thanks for the update IMO Elkann-Angelli Family will start divesting their stake over time. Congrats to the French

 

Is there a general consensus on when the LB will be officially unveiled?

 

Not sure about a consensus but a guess could be second half of 2021 - leaving 2 years (2020 - 2021, since in spite of being presented in 2019, the F8 was not really available before 2020) actual production run for the F8.

 

No-one has either challenged or backed up post #457

 

I think it would be helpful to link to that post, next time you may want to reply to it so everyone knows the reference without hunting for it...

Advance pre-series production next month and pre-series in July, regular production next October. Based on that, I’d guess the reveal should happen in the next several months. Likely originally slated for Geneva in March but now an online reveal around the same timeframe.

 

Any idea of LB will look like the Patent Drawing that was on here a while ago? If the Production starts in June, does that mean that F8 is done in 3rd Quarter of 2021?

 

Which patents? Sorry, might already been discussed but I haven’t seen them anywhere.

 

The only drawings I remember are the LaFerrari based patent drawings. The design was even on display in the Ferrari World Abu Dhabi.

here the official Hybrid V6 mid engine introduction is scheduled next September. There is even a small picture (so small that could even be an F8 the picture) on Quattroruote Italian magazine, December 2020 issue. Usually they know everything much in advance.

from quattroruote... so far from the real

 

If that is the shape....I think it looks great.

That's the SP12 EC

 

Thank you!

 

Interesting was told yesterday that the LB will be selling with the F8.

It doesn't replace the F8 but more of a new car . Smaller and cheaper than the F8. Think dino if you will.

F8 selling up to end of 2022 with NO VS because of time.

Ferrari plan to release more models but lower numbers so to preserve values.

 

If true, will be interesting to see how LB vs F8 sales go. Will people want the newest and ‘tech-est’ one or the “old fashioned” one.

Many of us have been saying no F8 VS forever. Glad you got it confirmed.

 

True but remember 6 cylinder.
