Although too early to discuss this issue But reasonable to speculate that the next generation F12 engine may form, NA V12 + KERS or twin-turbo V8 + KERS? Body structure should be made ​​of carbon fiber or aluminum alloy? As well as the car exterior design Do not know if there is relevant information or trail In addition, I do not know English, they are translated using GOOGLE If the content is very stupid, please forgive me
Your Google translation is perfect ... and yes a little too early to guess but not too early to dream! But a V8 ... NEVER!! Rick
and kers should be activated by the same accelerator pedal as normal. but, maybe kick in only when on sport mode setting? on all the time like full time 4 wheel drive?
If the emission standards get worse in the next years, which it probably will then I think the best thing is too leave it at the f12. Design a different line with v8 and KERS... What do you guys think?
There's too much V12 heritage at Ferrari for them to abandon the 12-cylinder engine altogether. A Ferrari lineup without a V12 wouldn't be much of a Ferrari lineup. I'm betting the F12's replacement will still be a V12, but a small-displacement one of around 5.0-6.0 liters with twin turbos and some sort of KERS—probably an improved version of LaFerrari's hybrid system. Cylinder deactivation also makes for a good way to reduce fuel economy under light load, so I wouldn't be surprised to see that make its way on there. Just spitballing, but I'd guess at a total engine output of 825-850 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. So far, car companies have been pretty effective at increasing fuel economy without decreasing engine output, and I don't see any reason that'll change in the next six years—especially in the $400,000 super sports car market. As for chassis construction, I'd expect them to stick with aluminum. The weight savings just aren't there for carbon fiber, at least not in a comparatively heavy V12 super sports car/gran turismo. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see them offer all-wheel-drive on it, at least as an option. Luxury car buyers want to have their cake and eat it too, and AWD has proven ridiculously popular among even performance car buyers. Most AMGs are going AWD now, and BMW's probably going to add it to the next M5 and M6; the majority of Porsche and Lamborghini's products are; Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, etc, they're all AWD. Better grip in the wet or the dry means better acceleration and better handling, and it allows people to use their cars in any weather.
I really hope it stays rear drive, v12 na. Don't mind the California line going with less displacement and turbos but I really hope they don't mess with the fundamentals of the f12 line.
What is really needed is an... "The Official Replacement for the F12 Replacement Thread". Has anyone placed an order yet? Performance is supposed to be better than an Ferrari to date.
