Ferrari 70- Got New Twin-turbocharger

The F70 is reported to be a spiritual successor to the incredibly raw F40- the last production Ferrari to use a turbocharged set up. The Ferrari F70 will be an ultra light-weight machine and make use of a twin-turbo V8 engine.

The new Ferrari 70 will also use what it has learned from its FXX program and take inspiration from the company’s 2007 Millechili concept car.

Only few of the world’s most richest people have been select for this selected FXX program, as they had paid several million dollars to buy a stripped down and track-prepped Enzo, but also to compete in organized private events.

The FXX program was made available to a select few of the world’s richest people, who paid several million dollars to not just buy a stripped down and track-prepped Enzo (called the FXX), but to compete in organized private events. This would be an achievement indeed, as it would be a solid 800 lbs less than the already super-light Enzo.

This Ferrari is certain to use a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, which is now being used in vehicles like the McLaren MP4-12C, as well as the Lexus LFA and Aston Martin One-77. The car will also, no doubt, use carbon fiber body panels and brakes.

Additional weight will be saved by opting for a lighter V8 with twin-turbochargers, rather than a bulky V12.

Publicly, Ferrari has admitted that it is looking at turbochargers for the future models, but wants to eliminate the problems of turbo lag before it builds production turbocharged cars. One solution to this that the Prancing Horse has reportedly been looking into is the use of electric motors to temporarily get the turbos up to speed before. This, of course, raises the possibility that such an electric motor could be part of a regenerative braking system.

The F70 is expected to go on sale in 2012, with just 399 models being built for an asking price around the one million dollar mark.
