http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/09/02-ferrari-f70-rendering-250.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ferrari-f70-rendering/#photo-5261899)There are many reasons to get excited about the future of supercars right now. Between the development of the Acura NSX (http://www.autoblog.com/acura/nsx), the next-generation Nissan GT-R (http://www.autoblog.com/nissan/gtr), the long line of lusty Lamborghini (http://www.autoblog.com/lamborghini) concepts and McLaren (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/mclaren) tinkerings, we may very well be on the doorstep of a golden age of exotic engineering. But few of those offerings send us licking our chops quite so quickly as the successor of the legendary Ferrari Enzo (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ferrari enzo) throne. Christened the F70 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/f70/) internally, the machine reportedly boasts a hybrid drivetrain brawny enough to bolt the Italian menace to 60 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds.
Odds are there's a healthy V12 mounted midship, and if the whispers we hear happen to be true, the F70 will be able to saunter up to a top speed of 250 mph. Our spy photo friends have produced a pair of renderings for us based on their own surreptitiously snapped images that help cut through the awful body cladding we've seen attached to the test cars (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/13/ferrari-enzo-successors-homely-visage-spotted-again/) frolicking about Europe at the moment.
If the production car looks even remotely as attractive as these sketches, the world is about to become a much sexier place. With lots of 458 (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari/458) in the front and hints of F40 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/ferrari f40) in that engine cover, there's plenty to get excited about here. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until the 2013 Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/geneva motor show) before we see the real deal.This is what the Ferrari F70 might really look like (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/09/05/this-is-what-the-ferrari-f70-might-really-look-like/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Wed, 05 Sep 2012 15:53:00 EST.
