2010 Ferrari F151

[LeonOfTheDead]

I don't remember the codename atm, so for now the thread is named accordingly. The car should be unveiled either at the end of 2010 or the beginning of 2011, iirc.

Let's clarify a couple of things.
All new Ferrari are designed to accommodate the 4x4 system by Haldex.
I'm not aware of it being a 4x2. And up to some months ago it wasn't even sure they were going to use it in the end.
The upcoming F142 (aka F450/470), isn't designed to adopt the system.

None of them, the new 612 or the F142 are designed to use any sort of a Kers system, being it something a la EffiientDynamics (more likely) or a la Prius.

The bump on the hood is due to the new suspensions that allow for an adjustable riding height for speed bumps or ramps, forcing to move accordingly the rest of the mechanics.
Maybe this information could be partially incorrect, since the mule testing those suspensions had a different hood (pics 1&2, an actual 612 with the new suspensions).

The car is (90% sure) based on the F141 (aka California) aluminum platform.

I don't have words about the engine.
The come-back of turbos should happen with the new Enzo (twin turbo V8), not with this one though, afaik.

Wouldn't this be too small?

LWB version a la Quattroporte probably.

it's modular, so the new 612's chassis would be longer than the California's one, even if based on the same architecture.

The next 599 is still on hold from this point of view.
The Cali's is a good point of start, being known and at his best development /at the time the car would be designed), but maybe a new platform could allow to adopt also new solutions and gain even more performance wise.

correct, you busted me .

Modular indeed. 612 wheelbase is 1" longer than Maser GT and Quattroporte wheelbase is 4" longer than 612.

those aren't the same though.
The GT and QP (and 8C) are made of steel, not aluminum.

So the 612 does not share the GT platform as commonly thought because the 612 is aluminum.

Four wheel drive is bad.

Turbos are bad too (even if they aren't used in this).

[Ferrer]

And by the way, no stupid stacked exhausts please.

I noticed the similarity in external part of the 2010 ferrari and 2010 toyota prius especially the front part.


Picture above is the 2010 Toyota Prius


2010 Toyota Prius picture like this is similar with the 2010 Ferrari Spyshots

By the way the internal name is F151.

By the way the internal name is F151.
