Ferrari F150 teased

These images of Ferrari's new Enzo-replacing supercar – codenamed F150 – have appeared in the company's in-house magazine ahead of the car's debut at March's Geneva motor show.

The timing of the official reveal is, in a sense, ideal as it means much of arch-rival McLaren's thunder will be stolen as it rolls out the working version of its P1 at the same show.

These abstract renderings of the F150 don't give away too much, but it's clear the supercar will embody much of the aero expertise Ferrari has garnered from its Formula One exploits.

In keeping with its Enzo ancestry, the F150 appears to have a prominent centre nosecone, with pronounced sculpting on the bonnet and a gaping mouth.

Meanwhile, the shadowy rear picture reveals a 'double-bubble' roof with a central groove, but what aren't visible are the elaborate airflow-management measures that are undoubtedly incorporated in the lower rear section of the car.

Ferrari has thus far kept mum on the car's powertrain, but it’s believed to be an enhanced version of the 545kW 6.3-litre V12 that propels the F12, with a supplementary KERS system boosting total output to over 630kW. Drive is relayed to the wheels by a dual-clutch sequential manual gearbox.

According to reports, the F150's CO2 emissions are said to be 40 per cent lower than would have been the case with a V12 engine on its own.

In a similar vein to the McLaren P1, the Ferrari is built around a compact central carbon-fibre monocoque that reportedly weighs just 70kg.

Sources suggest the F150 will tip the scales at a waif-like 1100kg and be as close to a competition car as any road vehicle offered to date by the prancing horse, thanks to the incorporation of much of the tech pioneered by the Millechili concept of 2007.

Like an F1 car, the bespoke seat is moulded to the shape of the driver, with adjustability provided by a movable pedal box.

The F150 is expected to offer near-perfect weight distribution, with the V12 housed ahead of the rear axle line. The batteries are also tucked away down low behind the driver.
