The F60...Enzo Replacement...Veyron Killer.....

nope

 

Seriously doubt it. Interesting that the rear view mirrors are digital though. I also don't believe the F60, or whatever the replacement will be called, will be a Veyron killer..

 

That's the "Ascari", a student design model for a contest by Ferrari and Pininfarina. It's my favorite design from the contest. Wouldn't mind seeing one built for real.

 

You're thinking of the Ascari as the brand name for the KZ-1. This Ascari is the model's name.

 

Why would it be odd? Alberto Ascari was the one of the greatest Ferrari F1 drivers. I'm surprised Ferrari haven't used his name on a car already.

Ascari, the car brand, was named in honor of Alberto Ascari.

 

If Ferrari ever does a remake of the F40 - something with absolutely no safety features whatsoever - they should call is the Nuvolari or the Ferrari Tazio or something like that... Something that only the truly fearless could competently pilot...

 

Needs bigger brakes.

 

I only hope it can be lighter than an Enzo. It would be awesome.

The name's used currently by a very small car maker with no connection with Ferrari. So what?

It's highly appropiate if Ferrari use the name for a future car, given the Alberto Ascari's association with Ferrari. The design students obviously know the names of the people and places significant to Ferrari's rich history and used one for their model. They ought to be applauded for that.

Let's look at a few car names used by Ferrari:

550 Maranello
360 Modena
612 Scaglietti
Enzo
599 GTB Fiorano

Is it a big leap, given the list above, to use "Ascari" on a Ferrari? I don't think so.

 

Whatever it is, it looks a lot better than an Enzo.

 

Hmmm...still a big leap? Not make sense?! I guess I don't know how your mind work.

Ferrari already used "Enzo" so why not start using the names of their famous drivers and champions. Perfectly logical to me.

I have the same picture you posted but larger.

 

I don't know why, but I find it doubtful Ferrari will go purely after the Veyron. They didn't go after the Mclaren. Top speed isn't as important as the balance of the car to them.

 

always make something like an FXX twin turbo, with new coachwork

 

Is that what they are calling it? the F60? or is it going to be the P6? Anyone know for sure?

 

Tough to name something that hasn't been designed yet...

 

True, just wondering if anyone knew if they were planning to continue on from the F40, F50 to the F60?

 

I'm pretty sure we still got a long way to go to see the replacement for the Enzo. I'm thinking 2011. That's 8 years from the Enzo. 16 years from the F50, and 24 years from the F40. Just a thought.

In short, in my humble opinion, I find it a bit too early to speculate on. But please, keep the ball rolling. I'm just voicing an opinion.

 

I'm sure you're hidding something.
You must know something about the Enzo replacement. Any scoops, hints you can share with us?

 

Looks like one of the contest entries.
