Ferrari FX150 Supercar Document Leak

Leaked Ferrari document reveals details of project FX150

An internal document has apparently gotten lost somewhere along the information super-highway leading from Maranello to Beijing. The letter, bearing the signature of Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo, contains vital information on a new supercar coming from Ferrari.

The successor to the Enzo and beneficiary of the FXX program is labeled as prototype "FX150". According to the document, the supercar will be powered by a mid/longitudinally-mounted twin-turbo V8 producing 794 horsepower and 772 Nm of torque (approximately 570 lb-ft) hooked up to a version of the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission already launched on the California codenamed SF3 (presumably for the third-generation SuperFast gearbox) with shift times down to 50 milliseconds. The carbon fiber construction is said to keep weight down to 1300 kg (~2866 lbs), which, when coupled with the nearly 800hp on tap, is anticipated to propel the FX150 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in a blisteringly fast 2.7 seconds en route to a top speed of 390 km/h (242 mph). Testing is stated to begin next month with an eye towards releasing the car sometime next year with a price tag between 1.2 and 1.3 million euros, which is even more than the Bugatti Veyron. It's not that hard to fake an official document, however, so click above to check it for yourself.

Unless proved other wise, all these letters (this one and the Bugatti one) are probably just fakes.

Wow interesting..

The number up to the right is indeed yes..
Who wants to make the call ?



RING** RING**

"Hello I want all the information about Ferraris future models?
- Thank you" ...

 

[Wunderkind]

I thought all internal communiques are written in Italian unless foreign suppliers are involved..................

Very interesting nonetheless.

 

[bmer]

That looks so FAKE...

 

[LaArtist]

Yeah probably is BS ..especially when it starts with top secret..hahaha

 

[warot]

Hahaha, yea... um no.

What kind of a document actually says Top Secret... I thought that was FBI stuff.

When I saw the FL 3er in summer 2007, it was in a powerpoint presentation

Sorry but that document is as fake as all the boobs in the Playboy mansion. First of all the writing style of document is very blog-ish/automotive tabloid-ish, and is not very strict and objective as letters typically written by CEOs and executives. Secondly Ferrari is an Italian manufacturer so why the hell would they state prices of a up and coming model in pounds???

 

[Tarek]

But it's right about one thing..the engine.Ferrari did mention that they are seriously considering a TT V8 instead of a screaming V12.

 

[martinbo]

What a crock 'o shite.
Primary school kids can write better internal memoranda than that. Pathetic.

 

[DC_insider]

I think Luca di Montezemolo would probably get his job title correct.

He is President of Ferrari S.p.A. not CEO.

Amedeo Felisa is the CEO.

lol, written by a three year old.

Sorry to dig this thread up, but the power and acceleration figure mentioned in this letter was quite close to the real thing. Perhaps Ferrari did try running the "F150" with a twin turbo V8 engine.
