A man named Angelo Granata has
created a beautiful rendering of what he thinks is the next Ferrari F70. It does stay true to the Ferrari design language, although if you
glance at the dual-projector LED headlamps for a moment, it has an uncanny
resemblance to the Aventador.
Now that is something that Ferrari would
definitely avoid, given the heavy rivalry. Also it’s lacking the iconic
F1-inspired nose from the original Enzo, which was a distinguishing factor in
terms of design. This nose does, however, serve a purpose, as its duckbill
shape adds much-needed downforce to the front axle as the vehicle’s speed
increases.
The rear end is a perfect mixture of the F12Berlinetta, Enzo and
the 458 Italia, though the quartet tail lamps may not make it in the final
design. The virtual concept’s body measures in at 4,650 mm long
X 2,030 mm wide X 1,080 mm high, but no estimated
weight was given.
The concept houses a mechanically actuated spoiler which is not
only cool as heck, but also keeps the car planted on the track. With the kind
of power the Enzo successor is supposed to pump out, that actuated wing may not
be a bad idea.
The Ferrari GTE virtual concept is fitted with a 7.3-liter V-12
engine that pumps out 800 horsepower and a KERS hybrid system that adds an
extra 120 ponies to the stable. This gives it a net horsepower of 920, which is
exactly what all of the rumors are pointing to with the new F70. Unfortunately,
the engine setup isn’t confirmed, except for the KERS system, so this is still
just speculation.
