Ferrari F150 (Enzo Successor) officially teased
#56
Sorry guys but government busy-bodies have successfully destroyed super-cars. Manufacturers are now forced to employ ridiculously useless and heavy addons(batteries, DCT trannys,) just to be able to offer a product to the public. Government regulations killed car design years ago, explaining why many of today's supercars look strange coming out of the factory(458 italia sitting too high), odd shaped bumpers etc.
Ferrari basically admitted that it is impossible to produce the V12 they intended too while meeting absurd emission requirements, forcing them to utilize an electrical engine to "make up" the power. The same thing happend to pagani huayra which would have been much more amazing with a NA V12, now having to employ turbos.
So 20 years after we got the F40 shooting flames, the Mclaren F1 doing 240mph, we get battery powered greenpeace approved, nanny restricted "supercars". Progress...

This car will not be anywhere near those curb weights. That electrical none-sense they packed into it weighs at least 150-200kg. Expect 1350-1400kg at the very least in the real world.

Yes they could have, the technology has been around for a while. Who would benefit from it though? To much money would be lost in petroleum.
