[Spy Shots] MY21 Ferrari hypercar (above 488)


Well yes it’s just yet another facelift with some pista aero.

Maybe they liked the 458 so much, that now there’ll be only evolutionary steps in design like the 911.

Fine with Porsche, disappointing for Ferrari.

And honestly I like the front of the 488 more. Similar to F12>812 scenario..maybe they ran out of ideas.
 
Thanks @Monster for reopening. This thread was not about the F8, this is for the brand new hypercar that will sit above the F8. Design will be very new and quite stunning but not as Ferrari like as we think as this is a brand new class of car for Ferrari. Will not ring in the new design theme, that will be the F8 (458 gen) successor in circa 2 years. And that car should be stunning - even more of a step forward than the 430 to 458 step.

Rumors:
The car is coming out in about 5-7 weeks. 850 hp+, 3,9L V8 TT Hybrid, 1680kg.

I've heard closer to 1000hp
 
Ferrari Hybrid Supercar Confirmed By CEO, Slots Above 812 Superfast

Ferrari Hybrid Supercar Confirmed By CEO, Slots Above 812 Superfast

The Purosangue sport utility vehicle. An all-new V6. The successor of the LaFerrari. A lot of stuff is going on in Maranello, and Ferrari is also busy with hybridization. Towards the end of the month, an all-new supercar will be revealed by the Prancing Horse.

Described as “a true beauty” by chairman and chief executive officer Louis Camilleri, the mysterious model will slot “above the 812 Superfast” grand tourer. Replying to John Murphy from Bank of America, the head honcho further revealed the hybrid supercar “will be a very attractive product” that would convince F8 Tributo and 488 owners to trade in.

“I would ask you to be patient for three weeks and you'll find out a lot more,”said Camilleri at the earnings call for the first quarter of 2019. “It will be very consistent with the strategy we outlined back in September, where we want a privileged revenue over volume.”

Care to guess why Ferrari is spending so much on hybridization? In addition to performance, the Prancing Horse is motivated by tax benefits in certain markets. Considering that Ferrari is the oldest team in Formula 1 and the power units are also hybridized, this piece of technology has a lot of potential in road-going cars from the standpoint of marketing.

Camilleri made it clear 2019 is the year Ferrari will premiere five models. First up, the F8 Tributo that was shown in March at Geneva. The yet-unnamed hybrid supercar is the second model, and it’s not a successor to the 488 series. The F8 Tributo has that responsibility, improving on the formula that Ferrari used in the 488 Pista.

An open-top F8 Tributo is certain to arrive at some point in the future, and our guess is that the hybrid supercar will also go Spider sometime in 2020. The Purosangue sport utility vehicle, however, won’t be one of the five models that Ferrari planned for 2019.

On that note, who here is looking forward to the Dino V6 revival? 488-bodied test mules have been spied time and again, and Ferrari appears to go forward with the entry-level model.
 
It's been awhile since a Ferrari debut has wowwed me at first blush. The F8 has grown on me, but Ferrari needs to instill that feeling where I would even consider robbing some financial establishments so I could enjoy one of their wares. I want some of that old-timey Ferrari wanderlust.

Also, while I am at it with my demands, Ferrari needs to either revamp their press pics or furlough whoever is responsible and get some legit photographers. I'm tired of the super-processed BS garbage pics.
 
1000 CV - V8 Hybrid ;)

Very interesting, so it will have the same combined power, or a little bit more compare to the LaFerrari.

I can't wait to see this car either, this will represent the next era of Ferrari and it really needs to be innovative and spectacular in every way to compete against the impressive rivals from Mclaren, and any surprises from Porsche.
 
... and any surprises from Porsche.

Hm. But the estimated price (650k €) would somehow open up a new segment, wouldn't it? Some segment between the "old" hypercars (LaFerrari, 918, P1), which were near 1 million and the "typical" supercar in the 250k+ range ...
I personally would not expect something from Porsche in this "segment". It would be something between an GT2RS and a 918 successor?
 
It is a new segment. That’s also why the design might look less than perfect to some. It’s a middle way between the halo and the V8 class.
