07 was similar to 79. jody and kimi deserved their titles, but the cars were still enjoying their previous driver's success
Forghieri built the team in the 70's
And whats your point? at least Ferrari hires foreigners.
Unlike that team from the UK.

Read back mate I said it.
Some are simply stat geeks.
Whilst others value a marque for what it has achieved and the classics it has.

please sir - a classic isn't a car you can rely on
a classic is a cantankerous pos that you cannot rely on, and costs mega dollars just for the privilege of having sheep look at you

Its gorgeous.

Has anyone noticed the rear end makes it look like its wearing a G string.

Quickest Ferrari ever, quicker around Fiorano by over a second than 599 GTO.

Seems Ferrari has pinched Fords F6 moniker and called it the F12.

No, but imagine if you owned an Enzo...


Where does the bubble burst though?

Traditionally, the fastest fezzas have been the top of the line models like the Testarossa, F40, F50, Enzo etc. Now, "everymens" types like the F430, F620 are faster then those models.

Will Ferrari release another "halo" car?

F70?

They are rumoured to be working on an Enzo successor, with an even more highly tuned version of the F12's V12. Its already making I think 730hp in F12, so i'd say over 800 which is damn impressive for an NA engine. A few hundred kgs lighter too i'd say so it will be be an absolute rocket.

I've read the Enzo successor will make 920hp with the help of an electric motor and KERS.

Thats right, I remember hearing that now you mentioned it. Thats staggering power, if you'd said that 10 years ago that a Ferrari was going to make 920 hp in 10 years time people would have laughed at you.

The F40 will always be the ultimate supercar, regardless of it's performance relative to the newcomers.

IMO anyway
