insider info:
*engine with have at least 170hp/liter (for example 3.8 v8 with 650hp)
*redline over 8.000rpm

remember what Felisa stated in 2011:
i futuri modelli Ferrari continueranno ad essere aggiornati pesantemente 4 anni dopo il lancio (“Ciascun modello resterà in produzione per 8 anni, con una formula di 4+4”) Quindi telaio 458 riutilizzato come base per la prossima

every model will last 8 years, in the 4+4 formula. So the 458 chassis will be used for the next one

porsche will challenge that with the new 960 5.0l biturbo

So it will have a 650S engine?

Kidding aside, it will be interesting to see if they implement some kind of a hybrid system as well, because I expect the next 650S to be hybridised.

 

This info have been around for quite a while.

what, the new 458 generation or the switch to turbo-engine?

 

^Both. Production plans leaked a long time ago regarding the next generation of models.
And that "960/984" info you posted is pure speculation at this point.

 

Such a shame. I wish they saved n/a for its sportier cars. The pinnacle (laf) and mid engined car should keep a n/a. Gt cars if they have to should have the boost. This could be enough to make me sŵitch brands.
