Two supercars driven like they were a rally car... [Video]

This makes me so sad. In the videos that you can see below we have two of the best cars ever made (Gallardo and Enzo) being driven in conditions that are less than ideal for such cars. I know they have money and can do whatever they want to their own cars, but in my opinion those cars don't deserve the beating they got.

Check them out and tell us what you think.

Is this the new Ferrari F150? No, still it looks great.

We are all eagerly awaiting for the new Enzo replacement also known as the Ferrari F150 (or F70) that will be introduced at the Geneva Motor Show but recently the designer Josiah LaColla decided he wanted to show his own vision of the car according to what was seen in earlier spy pictures.

And the result looks great. But according to someone that supposedly saw the car in a private event, "not even close", still i wouldn't mind seeing it on the road.

This is how Josiah LaColla describes his design.

While the real deal is still tight under wraps back in Italy, we photoshoppers have settled onto our Wacom tablets across the globe to try to piece together the identity of Ferrari's latest Hypercar. These images are my best guess- and using a slew of references ranging from the cracks in the mule-car camouflage to Ferrari's latest form language and the infamous leaked plaque, it's indeed an educated guess.

Taking a step away from other rendered speculations, this version makes an attempt to get into Pininfarina's shoes, keeping the body as clean as possible while integrating all the necessary ventilation. The mule's peculiar front fender/door intersection indicates the F150 will have a very open-wheeled look and feel. How close is this to the real fast-plastic? The wait to know will be over in less than three weeks.

Don't miss our extensive coverage of the Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks to find out more about this new supercar.

Ferrari F150, Still doesn't have an official name, but will have 950hp!

Milano Artworks

In the last few days Ferrari has shown the Enzo replacement to some very special clients, and by special i mean full of money, and seems one of those clients revealed many of the cars technical details, including power, acceleration, top speed, presentation date and the price.

We already knew the supercar would have a V12 engine but we didn't the what power figures it would have, and now we know. The gasoline engine will develop 800hp and together with the 150hp from the KERS system, we have a cool 950hp. The engine redlines at 9.100rpm and has the maximum torque available from 1.000rpm, amazing. It will do 0 to 100km/h in 3 seconds, to 200km/h in 7 seconds and will have a top speed of 370km/h (230mph).

The low weight, 1270kg (2794lbs), is achieved through the use of carbon fiber in the construction of the chassis, protected with kevlar underneath the car. Only 499 will be built, and each one will cost around 1.2 million euros (1.63 million dollars). Official presentation will take place at the Geneva Motor Show next March, with deliveries starting in December 2013.

The Ferrari Enzo successor aka F70, codenamed F150 Maranello

Would you look at that, Ferrari even shares with us some teasers of the upcoming Ferrari Enzo replacement. But that is all we get to know for now, except it will debut in a few months.

 

The front reminds me a little bit of a Formula 1 car with large wheel arches, while the back follows the line started with the F12 Berlinetta. Flavio Manzoni even made a comparison with a F1 car, saying this will be the closest thing to a Formula 1 car that was ever built. There's even a possibility the V12 engine will be a lot like the Ferrari F1 motor.

Together with the V12, Ferrari will also use the HY-KERS, Kinetic Energy Recovery System or more simply regenerative braking, used in F1 but adapted for the "F70". The system stores energy in a battery that can be used when the driver wants to boost power via an electric motor. The system was introduced in the 599 HY-KERS.

The picture of the Ferrari F70 we saw two days ago has been retouched

 

A new picture recently appeared, after a lot of photoshop, showing what the Enzo replacement might look like, after an image appeared two days ago from a special event held in China. Ferrari has recently opted for more straight lines in their designs and some lines in this image we see are more curvy, so we are still a little bit suspicious.

 

We already known it will use a lot of carbon fiber and will have a V12 engine with over 700hp, helped by an electric motor, making it an hybrid supercars, so stay tuned for more information.

Is this the front of the new Ferrari F70 (Enzo II)?

A picture, probably from a reunion or a special event, showed up in a Facebook page called F70Ferrari with a vehicle that looks like the Ferrari Enzo replacement. The name isn't known yet but we will call it F70 for now.

 

No more details have been revealed but my guess is it won't take long untill the car is presented to the public, maybe when Ferrari's Facebook page hits 10 million fans.

The Ferrari Enzo replacement has its technical details revealed [Renders]

The picture above represents the view of deviantart user David Williams aka wizzoo7 to what the upcoming Ferrari Enzo, codenamed F150, should look like and i love it. But for now we only have the technical details to share.

It will have over 800bhp weighing only 1100kg, and Ferrari promises it will be the most similar vehicle with an F1 car in the road right now, also claiming that a it will use carbon fiber in a more sophisticated way for its construction.

The F150 is based around a compact central carbonfibre monocoque weighing just 70kg (20% lighter than an Enzo’s). It is powered by a V12 engine helped by a small electric motor and lithium ion battery packs.

The 6,3liter V12 comes from the F12 and produces 731bhp and in the F150 will surely produced more, something closer to 750, and the electric motor helps to power the F150 with 100bhp more and 271Nm (200lbs/ft). Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa said that the Hy-KERS hybrid system will give the F150 a “performance boost, knocking 10 per cent off the car’s 0-125mph sprint time”, helping lower the F150’s CO2 emissions by 40% if it only used the internal combustion engine.

The seat will be fixed and molded for the driver like a F1 car but the pedal box and steering wheel are adjustable with most of the controls mounted on the steering wheel. Price will be close to a million whatever currency you have.
