ENZO REPLACEMENT // DETAILS LEAKED

According to a leaked internal document from Ferrari (serious, we’re not making this up), a current project titled FX150 is looking like the Enzo replacement. Powered by a mid-engine, twin-turbo V8 good for 794bhp and 532 ft/lbs of torque, the new Enzo should weigh in at a featherweight 2,800lbs and make the run to sixty in 2.7 seconds. The car it is replacing took a camper van slow 3.3 seconds to do the same. A seven speed dual clutch box, with gear changes as fast as 50 milliseconds will handle the ups and downs, and with a (claimed) top speed of 242mph any new Ferrari owner will need all the help they can get. Price? Try 1.3 million Euros, something like $2 million USD. Production numbers? Well the document didn't say, but based on what the boys from Maranello have done in the past, expect maybe 400 to be made. More when we know more // 09.19.2008
