    I can't be the only one thinking about this. If the 612 is all aluminum spaceframe construction like the 360, can the all aluminum 575 be far behind? Has anyone heard any rumors about this?

    There's talk of the replacement car but nothing official. I think it will be a shortened 612 chassis with maybe a slightly detuned Enzo engine. Styling wise is anyone's guess.

    I think for a "sober design" they have done perfectly with the maranello series. Maybe they could reach a level of say, 550 HP, that combined with a 200+ lb aluminum weight loss program would be perfect no?

    The power number that's been talked about is 600HP.

    speaking of this, anyone know if the Enzo is belt or chain driven? and also, Why do they use a V instead of a flat 12 as with the TR, why the change back?
