Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Architecture & Design

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.

For $10,000 you can get a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture crafted from the gearbox of Ferrari's F2000 Formula 1 racecar. At the end of the 2000 racing season, the complete 7-speed gearbox was signed by Ferrari's championship-winning driver Michael Schumacher, Scuderia Ferrari Executive Director Jean Todt and Ferrari CEO Luca Cordero Di Montezemolo. It was mounted to a 18"x18" carbon wall plaque with an authentic Ferrari fender shield mounted in the middle. Performance furniture firm RaceChairs is now offering it for $10,000 with the option of having a custom lamp or table (above) completed showcasing the gearbox. RaceChairs notes that due to the espionage problems with rival teams, Scuderia Ferrari is no longer releasing these kinds of pieces to private collectors, so this is your last chance.
