Enzo replacement to head six new models from Ferrari by 2013
FERRARI has revealed that a replacement for its Enzo hypercar will be among six new Prancing Horse models to be produced within the next three years or so. Spider and Scuderia versions of the new 458, plus replacements for the 612 Scaglietti and 599 GTB Fiorano are also listed within the Fiat group’s latest restructuring plan, announced yesterday in Europe. While Ferrari will this week unveil the long-anticipated GTO version of its 599 in Beijing, the Italian supercar brand’s next new model will be an all-new version of Ferrari’s range-topping, V12-powered 612 Scaglietti in the first half of next year. Ferrari says the 612 replacement is being developed under the codename of F151, but the model’s production nameplate is as yet unknown. Also now officially confirmed for release in 2011 – albeit in the second half, at least in Europe – is an open-top Spider variant of the upcoming 458 coupe. After that, a redesigned version of Ferrari’s Enzo flagship, just 400 examples of which were produced between 2002 and 2004, is locked in for 2012. The top-shelf Ferrari is again expected to emerge with V12 power, but will remain a left-hand drive-only proposition for Europe and the US. The same year, Ferrari will replace the 599 GTB with a model codenamed F152, before a facelifted version of the California convertible is launched in 2013 – the same year Ferrari will release a lighter-weight hard-core version of the 458, which has been confirmed to go by the Scuderia name of its 430 predecessor.
