Wow, ferrari gets over 700 horsepower from a naturally aspirated engine, and the improved Aero work takes it the level of aggressiveness that suits the original body lines. I'm in love.

I really like the car's styling but I wish they didn't implement the vents in the top of the fenders and small the vents in the bonnet smaller. The 19's are too big as in they don't look good...
Awesome engineering job as always!

Form < Function with this car (and other Ferraris), but I have to disagree. I think the functional improvements to the car make it look better :nod:

x2 this is a dedicated track car meaning everything serves a purpose. So if it doesnt look good, you have comfort in knowing it makes the car perform better! Like those ugly as hell out of place rear brake ducts on a C6 Zo6

I am not really sure how vents on top of the fenders are helping you guys out but whatever.

It's to increase downforce... allows air from the front fenderwells to escape, reducing lift.

every time Ferrari comes out with a new car, the hair on my arms stand straight up for 2 hours and my pulse quickens drastically and uncontrollably....i think i have a sickness, and can't afford the cure

That looks bad ass! Why does it look like the top of the rear wheels are angled inward though?

They are. Its called camber.

I'm familiar with camber and caster just not used to it on the rear with a solid axle f-body i guess, but shouldn't the front have more camber than the rear?

That is honestly the first ferrari in the last 10 years that I think looks great!! I thought the last few models have all looked like :turd: but this one finally has hit a high note with me.

I have no idea, but I'm sure the guys who built it know what they're doing more than either of us :lol:

BMW cars has more camber on the rear than the front, and I believe the GTOs has the same too.

The FXX Evolution (its the XX car for the Enzo) makes 860hp, from a naturally aspipated 6.3l v12.
Not that I could ever affrod it, but I am thinking the Enzo's replacement will be over 700hp :)

Yea i know about the Fxx, but its like a 3 million dollar car and you can't buy it so it's kind of in its own league there. I dont even know the plans for this one but its based on a production street car so it seems more attainable you know?

Wow, what a beautiful feat of engineering. I'd like more information about the "brake disk doughnuts".

The FXX is also based on a production street car ;)It was just built in limited numbers and only available for sale if you already owned an Enzo. This will be a similar thing. The FXX also came with a put crew and transportation of your car for a year.
