A successor to the legendary Ferrari LaFerrari supercar was sighted on public roads in Europe this weekend. The video posted by Varryx on YouTube reveals a test vehicle with a microphone set up next to the tailpipes. It looks like the Italian company is trying to figure out how many decibels of noise the new engine produces.
There is little doubt at this point that
the LaFerrari descendant will be part-electric in nature. It is still anyone’s
guess what kind of petrol engine it will be based on, but the general consensus
is that the V12 will retire in favor of a smaller mill. Whether it ends up
being a 4.0-liter V8 or a 3.0-liter V6, it will certainly rely on a robust
electric motor system to drive the combined output to 1,000 horsepower or
higher.
The potential buyers may catch a glimpse
of the production car as soon as this year, but if so, it will be a private
event closed to the prying media.
