6aff5b72e6s live Ferrari Boss Felisa: "Hybrid means we can protect the V12"

Ferrari 599 HY-KERS – Click above for high-res image gallery

In the Eighties, you wanted your MTV. Now that you’re a little older and a lot richer, you want your naturally aspirated V12 Italian cars, and both Ferrari and Lamborghini plan to deliver. The raging bulls at Sant’ Agata are incorporating more lightweight materials into their cars in order to get over emissions hurdles, but Ferrari has different plans, likely including a road-going iteration of its kinetic energy recovery system, as seen fitted to its 599 HY-KERS concept car at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.

According to Autocar‘s quote from Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa, “Hybrid means we can protect the V12,” suggesting Ferrari believes its unassisted 12-cylinder will live on. Autocar‘s theory is that the next Enzo could see its V12 paired with an electric motor to keep the government watchdogs happy. Of course, this contradicts Autocar‘s Ferrari piece from about ten days ago when, after speaking with Felisa, it wrote, “Felisa also hinted that the new Ferrari Enzo will be powered by a direct-injection twin-turbo V8 when it is launched in 2012.”

It could be that Ferrari will use a naturally aspirated V12, only not in the Enzo – the F40 was a V8 while the Testarossa/512 received the big-engine treatment. Frankly, we’re all for a hybrid Enzo, though. Provided they can keep the weight down, a silent supercar at low speeds with 600-plus horses that could bolt at a half-second’s notice would make the most awesome getaway car ever.

b7af3745f1sa 458 Ferrari CEO: Back to twin turbo V8 for next gen Enzo

What goes around comes around. Ferrari broke ground in the supercar sphere with the 288 GTO and F40, which both used twin-turbo V8 powertrains. The subsequent F50 and Enzo went with V12s, and the 599‘s mill was based off the Enzo’s. But the next model in Ferrari’s range-topping mid-engine exotic line will go back to the twin-spool eight-pot.

This directly from the company’s chief executive Amedeo Felisa (pictured above with the new 458 Italia), speaking with Autocar magazine. Although a high-output, direct-injection, twin-turbo V6 bounced around the rumor mill, Felisa says no such plans are in place, as customers still look to cylinder count as an indicator of a car’s capabilities. The CEO added that the implementation of hybrid technologies – as previewed in the 599 HY-KERS concept – will allow Maranello to continue offering high cylinder counts, including V8, V10 and V12 engines. This is especially interesting because, F1 cars aside, Ferrari has never made a road-going V10. Could be an indicator of things to come, or perhaps just a typo.

Felisa also spoke on the use of carbon fiber, saying that its implementation will, for the time being at least, remain limited to the Enzo stratosphere and not used in its production models. According to Felisa, “nobody today has a real understanding of what happens if you damage a carbonfibre structure.” Given its decades of experience with the material in F1 and the hundreds of on-track crashes that it surely accumulated over the years, if Ferrari doesn’t understand it, we struggle to imagine who does.

I went for my second ride in a friend’s Ferrari Enzo! It’s always a dream and a pleasure for me to sit in this car, one of the most expensive, fastest and good looking Ferrari ever. We did a few clean laps but then we started a battle against a modded Porsche 996 GT2 with 560hp driven by Mr.Alosa in person (one of the most famous italian Porsche tuner). The ride includes also several drifts in the corners and a brutal burnout in the pitlane! This is how a supercar must be driven! Thanks Manu for the great day, it’s always amazing to stay as passenger with you! Marchettino Facebook page: www.facebook.com Music: Kevin Macleod – Agnus Dei X

70cac06b57zione1 P4/5 Competizione for Nürburgring 24
While the final product hasn’t been revealed in full, the thread includes over 20 pages of Q&A between James and the rest of the F-Chat community giving several hints at what’s to come. There are even several photo renderings depicting what the car might look like. What we do know is that this new P4/5 Competizione will not be Enzo/FXX/MC based — it will be based on a Ferrari chassis and feature a Ferrari V8, with Glickenhaus saying that a V12 isn’t practical because of fuel consumption.

3e8dd3c143range Ferrari CEO outlines dates for Enzo, 612, 599 replacements

With the new 458 Italia ready to go, the 458 Spider on its way, and the California still fresh on the market, Ferrari is turning its attention from the V8 range to its V12 flagships. CAR sat down with the company’s CEO and managing director Amedeo Felisa, who revealed the full roll-out schedule for not one, not two, but three new V12 supercars currently under development in Maranello.

First up is the 612 Scaglietti, which has been on the market since 2004. That may not seem like a long product life cycle, but considering the lackluster Scag hasn’t exactly won the hearts and minds of enthusiasts and customers, Ferrari is apparently moving ahead with its replacement, due to hit the market by 2012.

Around the same time, we can expect to see the long-anticipated supercar to follow in the footsteps of the 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo. Although Ferrari has been working on hybrid propulsion and other forms of green technology, those bits won’t be ready by the time the Enzo’s successor rolls around, so expect a more conventional V12 (or possibly twin turbo V8) to drive Maranello’s new benchmark.

The replacement for the 599 GTB Fiorano, meanwhile, will take a little longer. The two-seat GT was introduced a few years ago and recently treated to a new HGTE package to keep it ahead of the competition. But although the new 458 is already expected to outgun the Fiorano, and with arch-rival Lamborghini hard at work on a successor to the Murcielago, Ferrari isn’t planning to replace the 599 before 2015.
