Most powerful V12 production car of all time

Old?

New Ferrari. Looks like a cross between a supra and a corvette, with a touch of maranello and a dash of aston martin. Can't say it floats my boat like an enzo or a 355.

edit: actually, a lot more than just a dash of aston.

What's with the satanic rims? moron alert??

Post by **DRuM** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 3:05 am

Well ferrari have always had 5 star rims, but never quite as demonic looking as these.

Well something managed to trump the biturbo V12 powering the SL65, CL65 and S65, that engine is 604 bhp. I wonder how much torque the Ferarri has, I know that the 65 engine has 1000 NM (738 lb-ft) but ti was limited due to the transmission, it is really capable of 1200 NM, only thing I know that beats it is the Bugatti Veyron with 1250 NM. Also, those are quite the satanic wheels, I would expect that on a Lambo Diablo, but not a Ferarri :P

I don't know what is its peak torque, but at 7600rpm its 428lb-ft.

Satan's ride is ready - soon he will pick up Freakaloin from these forums and ride to a wedding ceremony of doom.

Wow, touch of damnation on those rims, doesn't give that classic Ferrari look unfortunately.

You're right, I see a lot of the Aston Martin DB-7 incorporated there.

That's what it be sayin' in da articles juggs.

Don't know much about cars but it looks like a pretty sweet ride.

Post by **zewulf** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 9:16 am

Hmmm...I don't know. It's not a mid-engine car, and I still think the F430 looks better

Speaking of which, anyone know how much is the markup for a F430 in the States?

Post by **Dr_Watson** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 11:34 pm

its a GTB... all GTB's are F/R.
but personally, i still think the 355 is the ferrari for me. and thankfully the price on those keeps falling. $80K in the second hand market now. :icon24:

I'd take the F50 or the F355 anyday :icon26:

Why is the F60 so ugly?

Post by **stocktroll** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:07 am

it looks nice but not too special

Post by **bitWISE** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:25 am

That's a nice looking car

F40 looks like some of the earlier Italdesign Schigera and Calas
