LaFerrari replacement: v12, no hybrid, less power than SF90stradale?

Dicth the hybrid crap and you save 200 kg.

 

Comfort and safety are not necessary for a hypercar.
And you can circumvent regulations.

 

Depends on the engine they will use. We know the Valkyry's ICE makes 1000 HP by itself.

Necessary both for performance and emissions.

Of course comfort and especially safety are necessary. The latter is also mandatory and you can't circumvent it in most jurisdictions.

 

The average car in the US is now over 1,000lbs heavier than 20 years ago. 20% of that weight gain has occurred since 2017. [emoji848]

Govts ruin everything. Including cars.

I have a feeling there are games being played with what you call something. Especially with SUVs. What we call a SUV today is very different from what was a SUV back in 1975.

 

Hopefully Greta doesn't step in..

 

Actually lazy design, marketing trinkets are the biggest contributors to weight gain and the basic size of cars increasing

 

Size increases due to:
1) Need for bigger interiors, as people are getting physically larger. Try fitting into a 1960s sportscar...
2) Need for more space, required by the mandated crumble zones. Which is to say that the governments look out for us, irrespective of what naysayers think.
3) Need for more space for the various equipment and amenities that modern cars need to have. Even F1 crs are more than 5.5 metres in length now, due to all the equipment they carry and the need for aero furniture.

 

Makes it even more impressive that the Porsche are making their Gt3's lighter than previous gens.

 

That is more than enough.

 

It is my life to risk, no government should have a say in that !!!

 

EV is also a good occasion to reduce individual freedom..
People will realize this later.

 

yours and the family in small hatchback that inevitably you will hit in the end.
i was driving around 170 the other day, where the limit it 70, and felt good for a while. Everyone is getting/or trying to get out my way.Some of them in panic.
Then i felted like an idiot.
There are pleases, special roads, tracks,etc for 200+,
not public roads.

 

First of all, who says I have to hit the family in the small hatchback ?!
Second, even assuming I did, what difference would the weight of my car make to them ? The way I see it, the lighter my car was, the less mass would be hitting them, thus it would be better.

 

was replaying for you risking your own life, not the laws of physics.
i rest my case, maybe rearzeu has more energy to argue with you

 

I don't believe that's true.

Car makers also want to save the lives of their customers. Clients that keep dying is bad for repeat business...

 

It is. Real world 992 GT3 is lighter than 991.2 GT3.

Don't think so. Barely any more weight, but not lighter either.

"Other weight-saving measures include a lightweight battery and rear screen, CFRP bumper and front bumper, lighter front wheels, and engine mounts now fitted to the cylinder heads. Even more impressive is the 10kg shaved off the stainless-steel exhaust given its emissions-saving addenda. The result of all this? The 992 weighs 5kg more than its predecessor. Why? Well, mainly the inclusion of more tech and the basic platform being heavier, but the outcome is a car that shares pretty much the same power-to-weight ratio as the 991.2."
