2012 Ferrari Enzo Replacement spotted testing

The guys over at Carscoop have posted spy photos of what we think is the the 2012 Ferrari Enzo Replacement. It was spotted on Italy's Fiorano test track. But, it could also be the upcoming Ferrari 458 Scuderia; a sportier version of the standard 458 Italia. As the photos show, a heavily modified 458 Italia with an extremely low and long front nose is what the photographers shot. Also, the rear is extremely redesigned.

In recent interviews, Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa has stated that the Enzo replacement will be revealed by the end of 2012. The replacement for the Ferrari Enzo will be constructed of carbon fiber, powered by a mid-mounted V12 engine and will use hybrid technology. “For a small volume car such as the Enzo where the focus is on the minimum weight possible it is the correct solution.” The CEO also states that his newest cars “must focus on improving efficiency and not just be about performance”.

Ferrari's Newest Cars

Ferrari 458 Spider


One of the biggest news coming out of Maranello is the end-of-the-summer release of the Ferrari 458 Spider, the convertible version of the Ferrari 458 Italia, with a retractable hardtop.

It features a 4.5 liter naturally aspirated direct-injection V8. The power is transferred by a dual-clutch F1 paddle-shift transmisson. That engine produces 562 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. The 50kg extra weight slows down the 0-100km/h acceleration time by a tenth of a second, bringing it to a 3.4 second-level. The top speed drops 5 km/h; from 325km/h to 320km/h. Even thought the decrease in speed and acceleration, this car still is Ferrari's fastest convertible ever.

Due to it's retractable hardtop, the styling on the back of the car is much different, with 6 air inputs and buttresses. Ferrari wanted this car to have a ''sporty but not aggressive driving style''. This car will cost you about $258,000, while Ferrari plans to produce from 1500 to 2000 examples per year.


Ferrari 599 GTB HGTE 60F1

The HGTE offers reduced body roll for a stiffer ride, less understeer, easy control and sharper cornering. This special edition car comes in three different liveries:

375 F1 Livery: The same red as clothed Froilan Gonzalez’s 375 F1 is used. This is a historic red used by the Scuderia for its very first Formula 1 cars. Its darker pastel tone gives the car a compact and sporty look.

Ferrari 150° Italia Livery: this car has the Scuderia 2011 red livery used for Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari 150° Italia. The exterior also features Formula 1 white on the lower part of the front bumpers and mudguards, bonnet, A-posts and buttresses. The tricolour featured on the spoiler of the F150 is also represented on the rear.

Ferrari 150° Italia 2 Livery: the car is painted in the Scuderia 2011 red used on Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari 150° Italia. In this version, however, white is used only on the lower part of the bumpers and there is no tricolour at the rear.

Porsche has recently upgraded their lineup with the addition of the Cayman S Black Edition. This is a car with a limited production of 500 cars, costing 67,807 euros.

A 3.4 liter six-cylinder boxer engine is under the hood, with the power output increased by 10hp to 330hp at 7,400rpm, an additional 200rpm. The maximum torque remains unchanged at 370 Newton meters at 4,750rpm.

19 inch wheels are inserted on the vehicle with 235/35 ZR 19s on the front axle and 265/35 ZR 19s on the rear axle. Also, Bi-Xenon headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights have been added.

Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is also integrated in the interior.

With the six-gear manual transmission gearbox, the Cayman can reach 60mph in 5.1 seconds, 5 with the optional Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) gearbox, and 4.8 seconds if the Launch Control is activated on the Sport Chrono package, available as an option. 279km/h with the manual transmission and 277km/h with the PDK are the car's top speeds.

Oakley Design Lamborghini LP760-2 Aventador

We are seriously considering this as the nicest tuned Lamborghini we have seen in a while.

Oakley Design recently revealed their tuning package for the 2012 Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador, limited to only 5 cars.

Added to the car is an advanced suspension upgrade and other technologies helping to reduce weight by 85kg. Other lightweight materials used are several carbon fiber elements and ultra-light, forged alloy wheels. Each wheel weighs around 4.0kg less per corner than the factory alloys. The factory 255/35ZR19 front and 355/30ZR20 Pirelli PZero tyres are retained, but the wheel width increases from 9.0J to 9.5 inch in front, and from 12.0J to 13.0J at the rear. These help grip when in 'Corsa' mode.

Developed in the MIRA wind tunnel, the rear Gurney flap also helps with stability and grip when driving.

The exterior body shell is completely made of carbon fiber, while the two plastic front bumpers, two rear bumper trims and side air intakes located behind the doors have been extended to help with cooling.

760bhp with 745Nm of torque are the manufacturer's claims, with an ECU remap optimising a larger airbox, intake feed pipe diameter and a titanium exhaust system that will also save over 30kg.
