Mkay. Now, which way does it go?

 

The template is clear, no?

It will have 12 cylinders, potentially an all-new motor from which the 8 and 12 cyl. "volume" Ferrari engines will be derived. By the time it's released, Lambo, McMerc, MercChrys, and whoever else will have increased their HPs and TQs to beat the Enzo. Therefore, the next Super F-car will probably have around 800HPs, weigh around the same or less than the Enzo, and incorporate even more F1 technology, especially the E-Diff systems we see on the F1 steering wheels.

Styling, of course, is the 60 million dollar question. Considering the extraordinary reactions to the Enzo and it's instant icon status, something the F40 and F50 never achieved, at least in terms of styling, I look for an equally extreme, F1 inspired design.

With this car, more than any other, Ferrari will bring F1 to the road, and thereby distance itself from all rivals, whether they have more HP and TQ or not. As I've said before, HP and TQ are the only areas other marques can compete with and occasionally surpass Ferrari. The other dynamics, thanks to their F1 expertise and dominance, will always be beyond reach. With one exception, Mclaren-Mercedes could, and should build something to compete directly with Ferrari. They're the only group that can. With their money and engery all over the place, however, it is questionable whether they will.

Even then, fifty years of racing and the passion of one man and an entire country cannot be duplicated overnight. It is this, perhaps more than anything, that makes Ferrari so difficult to follow.

Forza,

Do you think this new car will have a larger engine displacement. The Enzo is a 6.0 Liter.

By the way, I was reading the new Motor Trend magazine and Amedeo Felisa (Gruppo Ferrari Maserati's chief Technical Director, the man primarily responsible for taking new cars from drawing board to dealer showroom) said that the Enzo sucessor will be developed.

 

i dont see why not...

f40 - 2.88
f50 - 4.7
enzo - 6.0
??? - 7.5 ???

 

A few pictures have been taken of an exotic new car around Maranello. There are certain design similarities to the Enzo though you can see the front splitter is much larger which results in greater downforce.

 

Okay okay. I'll stop for a while.

However, if you're entering Law School I think that collections like Armen's or to a much lesser extent, mine, will be chicken feed for you, especially if you follow the footsteps of the Vice President wannabe who supposedly made $40 million suing companies in class action lawsuits.

Was it Socrates who said "First thing we need to do. Kill all the lawyers."

 

i thought it was Shakespeare...

 

I think he stole it from one of the early Greek philosophers.He said it in Henry VI but I thought I had heard it attributed to Aristotle or Socrates and then repeated by Livy in some roman texts.

Whoever said it, it's a great idea!

 

LOL, Dude, you win - there's no way i can back up my statement with that much information...

Ironically, i first heard the quote from a lawyer who loved to quote it... Go figure...

 

I don't see why it wouldn't. However, Ferrari likes to do more with less than other automakers. Added to that is the almost definite switch in F1 from V-10s to a 2.4 liter V8, rumored to produce 800HPs or so, and scream to 22K RPMs. Granted, F1 cars weigh a fraction of road cars, but I could see a 6.5 liter V12 derived directly from the F1 V8. Obviously, Ferrari would never resort to turbos or superchargers with this car, but I doubt they would play the torque wars of MB and Viper for the obvious reasons.

With the already brilliant success of the 430, (see the modern section for its review by a British magazine), due in large part to the direct trickle down of F1 technologies, the next super-Ferrari will be even closer to its F1 big brothers, in every way possible......especially with Jean Todt at the helm.

Your thoughts.....
