Spied: Ferrari Enzo Successor Test Mule
We get out first close up with the legendary Enzo's successor

Ferrari has been extremely tight-lipped regarding the successor to the legendary Ferrari Enzo, but as luck would have it our spies have caught this test mule out and about. Our sources tell us that this is not the real prototype but just a rolling test bed for key components, but never the less we're excited.

Key highlights are the flat front nose and rising rear wings which resemble the 458's, however, the vehicle is much wider. Just like a true test mule, the vehicle is sporting makeshift light assemblies and perhaps many other components donated by other Ferrari models. However, if does appear that this test mule is a stretched and widened 458 with a horrific amount of camouflage.

Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa revealed to British magazine Autocar at the 2012 Beijing show that his firm had to adopt hybrid technology as it is “the only way to meet CO2 emissions regulations, we can’t do it simply with weight reduction”.

The HY-KERS system will make the new Enzo the cleanest and fastest Ferrari in the range. Total power is likely to be near 1000bhp.

"Compensating for the weight of the system was the hardest challenge", according to Felisa, but the Italian maker has managed to retain "the necessary centre of gravity and weight balance".

The Kerb weight will be similar to the track-only Ferrari FXX with a figure of around 1157 kg. It will be achieved with the lightweight carbon fiber body while the chassis will be dominated by aluminum.

Codenamed the F70, the new super car has specs that should easily allow it to surpass the performance of its predecessor and engineers are reportedly aiming to exceed the all conquering Bugatti Veyron. This means we could expect to see a 0-100 km/h time of less than 2.5 seconds and perhaps a top speed in excess of 408 km/h. Rumors suggest the F70 will be shown to select Ferrari clients later this year before a full public debut is conducted in Geneva in March 2013.

 

Very interested to see what this will look like!

 

Yeah this is pretty big! Can't wait to see what it'll actually look like.

 

Looks like that could also be testing for 458 scuderia version. Hard to tell.

 

Always love how janky these test mules look.

 

It's amazing how much camo Ferrari uses lol!

 

And even in a mule that it's based on a 458, not on the deffinitive car .

 

Here's the image thats been floating around the web of the model. But as GTSpirit reported this is nothing more then a design study -> Design Study F70 Ferrari Enzo Successor

The design study in depth -> Automotive by Constantin-Gabriel RADU at Coroflot

 

^^^^That concept looks more like an Aventador competitor than an Enzo replacement.

 

Haha, yeah, it's a bit absurd, actually. Cannot wait until something clearer shows its face.

Really really looking forward to this one.

Thanks for sharing, DJ!
