With the limited edition $850,000 successor to the Ferrari Enzo due in less than a year's time speculation as to what the "hypercar", dubbed the F70 (for now), will look like and run on is reaching a fever pitch. In the latest update, Ferrari Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo has hinted that it could in fact be a hybrid with technology borrowed from the marque's 599 HY-KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show. Di Montezemolo told Autoweek the nouveau Enzo "will incorporate the state of the art of our knowledge in terms of increasing performances while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. It will then influence all Ferraris that appear after it." Meanwhile, designer Radovan Varicak has come out with a convincing vision (above) of what the F70 could turn out like no matter what's under the bonnet. Looks good so far.

There's been plenty of speculation surrounding Ferrari's long-awaited successor to the iconic Enzo, usually referred to as the F70. After some revealing remarks from Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa recently, the new vehicle is beginning to take shape. Most insiders agree the F70 will be based on the marque's lightweight Millechili supercar concept combined with some tech from the FXX or racetrack version of the Enzo. The resulting "hypercar" (rendering above) is expected to feature a carbon fiber chassis and be powered by a direct-injection twin-turbo V8. Look for the F70 to hit 0 – 62 mph in three seconds with a top speed in excess of 230 mph. Also expect it to be limited to just 399 examples like the Enzo, available for purchase by invitation only with a pricetag in the $850,000 range when it's released in 2012.
