Heir to the Ferrari 812 Superfast It is due to debut next year. Meanwhile, the automaker continues to work on the development of its new sports car. The new model will continue to be equipped V12 engine which is very important for Maranello. In fact, Prancing Horse has emphasized its desire to continue offering this engine several times in the past.
In conversation with Autocar, Ferrari’s head of design, Flavio Manzoniemphasized that the V12 is best choice from an emotional point of viewalthough a turbocharged V8 engine will provide better performance.
Personally, I think that this engine needs to be fought for. From a technological point of view, this is not the most effective solution. A turbo V8 can offer a higher level of performance. But from an emotional point of view, it’s the best you can have.
It will be a “traditional” V12, that is, not electrified. This is also confirmed by the absence of the classic high voltage stickers on forklifts seen so far. The stickers that are usually present indicate the presence of an electrified engine. Rather, it will be interesting to understand what kind of work Maranello will do on the engine. The current 812 Superfast is equipped with an 800 hp engine, which increases to 830 hp in the 812 Competizione.
Internally, this new model is known by its code name. F167. The forklifts recently seen on the road are apparently still camouflaged. However, it appears that the car is now in production form.
The proportions of the new sports car do not seem to be too different from those of the current 812 Superfast. The new model will be able to count on a very long hood with a rear-set interior, a very complex front bumper with large air intakes and even wider fenders.
