It has been awhile since we have received news on what model will become the new successor to the Ferrari Enzo. We are excited to hear that production for the new car has already started and has been given the codename of FX70.
Ferrari Enzo
FX70 To Become Successor To Enzo
Enzo Set To Receive Twin Turbo V8
Ferrari is working hard to meet the requirements set up by the European government for the new CO2 laws that will begin in 2012 by downsizing the carbon footprints by almost 40%. Ferrari is even looking to downsize the new Enzo.
Enzo To Receive Direct Injection
Many automakers are using direct injection to compete on horsepower without having to worry about boosting displacement. Ferrari has seen the benefit of this and is planning on using it for the Enzo in time for the 2009 model year.
Direct injection will first infiltrate the Ferrari lineup with the updated F430, and a ten-percent bump in power will be the most noticeable byproduct of the engine upgrade. When opening up the engine bay, things will look different as everything from the block up has to be redesigned.
