Ferrari F149: The easiest achievable Ferrari, ever … (to be made)
April 28, 2008
Ferraris were always the sign of the millionaires, especially the Enzo, and the magnificent P 4/5. Porsches like the 911 seem to be on the wish lists of many aspiring enthusiasts who don’t have that much money as the Ferrari owners, but the Maranello based company is just about to smash those budget line options of Porsches and Mercedes …. The first Ferrari for the average rich guy and not just ultra rich dudes is called the “F149′. At least that’s the project name.
So far, there are four segements of Ferrari’s: There’s the rear mid engine based F430, being the cheapest at $170K. The there’s the front engined 599 GTB Fiorano, the 612 Scagletti and the untouchable Enzo-FXX.
The new Ferrari F149 would be cheaper than the F430 — simpy to compete with the 911 and Mercedes SL — and will be fitted with a new 4.7 Liter engine, with somewhere around 480 Hp. Which should give the F149 a 0-60mph under 4.0 seconds. And for sure, the easiest achievable Ferrari will feature a bunch more gadgets and toys like an iPod charger.
The F149 will be revealed at Paris Motor Show later this year.
