It hasn’t even been two years since Ferrari
introduced the 812 Superfast to succeed the F12 Berlinetta. And by all
accounts, it’s one beast of a supercar, capable of dicing it with the best of
’em. But eventually the Prancing Horse marque will need to replace it. And when
it does, it could – maybe even should – look a little something like this.
It’s called the 8E8Hyperspeed, and it’s the work of
one Sang-Hyuk Ahn – a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena,
who was kind enough to share his design with us all on Behance.
Though clearly stylized as cars often look at this
early stage in design, the proportions look just right, and the design
elements, we’d say, look just where Ferrari should be headed next. Just look at
those muscular haunches, the long hood and short deck, the contrasting silver
roof, and the thin head- and taillights. Nice work, if you ask us. Ahn says the vehicle could use an
electric powertrain, and the 812’s successor could go hybrid. But to take the
place of the Superfast, it’s going to need a V12 – and a powerful one at that.
The current model’s displaces 6.5 liters and
produces a massive 789 horsepower and 718 Nm of torque,
sending the exotic supercar rocketing to 100 km/h)in 2.9 seconds on
its way to a 340-km/h top speed. And at 1:21.5, it’ll lap the Fiorano
test track next to the factory in Maranello almost a second faster than the old
F12 Berlinetta, and just half a second behind the hardcore F12 TdF.
