Ferrari Enzo Successor Specs Leaked

We’ve already reported on sightings of development mules apparently being used to test the engine for Ferrari’s Enzo successor, but now a leaked internal memo has apparently given some details about the new car.

The memo first appeared on a Ferrari fan forum, and although it’s authenticity hasn’t been confirmed, it appears to have been sent from company president Luca di Montezemolo to Ferrari’s Chinese importer.

It is written in English and confirms that the new car, still codenamed “FX150” will have 794hp and use a mid-mounted turbocharged V8 engine. The 0-62 mph time is

claimed to be just 2.7 seconds, while the top speed is quoted at 390km/h: a cool 242mph.

The memo says that the car will use an all-carbonfiber body and chassis, keeping weight down to just 1.3 tons, and will have a seven-speed “Superfast” gearbox capable of changing gear in just 50 milliseconds. It concludes by estimating that the price will be in the region of 1.3 million Euros (over 2 million dollars), and that the car will go on sale “circa 2009”.

Is it genuine? If not, it’s a very convincing forgery – and with specs as impressive as these we hope it’s the real deal.
