Contrary to the hopes of everyone attending the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/detroit-auto-show/), The Motor City will not stage the debutante ball of the successor the Ferrari Enzo (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/enzo). Before the Detroit show rumor, it was thought that we'd see the coupe, referred to as the F70 (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/f70/), for the first time at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/geneva-motor-show).
The Geneva timeline makes more sense, seeing the amount and kind of camo the car is still wearing on roads around Maranello, as seen here caught by a man-on-the-street. Copious amounts of hard plastic cladding, the faux-shovel snout and miles of gaffer tape hide the body from view. If Detroit were a go, then we'd expect to see the hybrid supercar out somewhere with the cloth and canvas cladding (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/02/20/ferrari-rings-in-record-profits-promises-599-successor-for-gene/) the Italians switch to when D-Day is close. As it is, other than a new set of wheels, this looks like the same cladding we saw the car wearing in June (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/13/ferrari-enzo-successors-homely-visage-spotted-again/), when it looked a lot more spiffy.
Or maybe not - Ferrari (http://www.autoblog.com/ferrari) CEO Luca di Montezemolo (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/montezemolo/) said earlier this year (http://green.autoblog.com/2012/05/11/montezemolo-confirms-new-ferrari-enzo-hybrid-by-years-end/) that "At the end of the year, we'll also be unveiling the new Enzo (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/enzo), a limited series model and our first-ever hybrid car." But we don't yet know whether Montezemolo is referring to a public unveiling, as at an auto show, or a private event for potential buyers. We have six weeks to find out whether the camo or the CEO has it right.Ferrari F70 spotted in heavy camo around Maranello (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/11/15/ferrari-f70-spotted-in-heavy-camo-around-maranello/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Thu, 15 Nov 2012 16:31:00 EST.
