ferrari shows off carbon monocoque paris 2012 live shots

Kudos to Ferrari for having the audacity to show off their carbon fiber monocoque like it was a new vehicle introduction – which it sort of is, for their new supercar. The big news here is that they’ve confirmed it will be a hybrid, packing a 804 horsepower V12 gasoline motor and a 90 kW electric motor.

800 hp V12? Unless that's turbocharged (likely? Not likely?), is that going to be the world's highest output production NA V12? What're the chances its a new engine, stroked version of the current V12, or the exact same engine? I thought it was pretty cool they were squeezing out over 100 hp/L in the 6.3L V12 already (740 PS in the Berlinetta, according to Wikipedia).

If they match the 458 Italia's specific output, the 6.3 would crank out 787 hp, so if they can either beat that by a little or do a slight bump in displacement, 800 shouldn't be a challenge. I don't remember where I saw it but last I had heard this was not going to be turbo. If they do bump the displacement, it'll be interesting to see how big they go. Somewhat random trivia but the biggest engine Ferrari ever made or put in a car was the 6.9 liter V-12 in the 712 Can-Am car. Kudo's to Ferrari for honoring tradition and sticking with the NA V-12 instead of taking the Mclaren route.

Mikey For 36.4 years i punched the clock at GM Canada.. For the last 15.5 years (frozen at 2008 rates) my GM pension shows up in my account. I flirted with Fords for a couple of years but these days I'm back to GM vehicles and still qualify for employee price. Speaking as a High School drop out ..GM provided myself and family a middle class lifestyle.. And still does .. Sorry if i don't join in to the ever present TTAC ..GM Bash fest

THX1136 A Mr. J. Sangburg, professional manicurist, rust repairer and 3 times survivor is hoping to get in on the bottom level of this magnificent property. He has designs to open a tea shop and used auto parts store in the facility as soon as there is affordable space available. He has stated, for the record, "You ain't seen anything yet and you probably won't." Always one for understatement, Mr. Sangburg hasn't been forthcoming with any more information at this time.
