Sneak Peek: Ferrari FX, Maserati Quattroporte

April 25, 2002

"The highly anticipated heir to the Ferrari F40 and F50 legends will debut at the "Artedinamica" exhibit at the Contemporary Art Museum of Tokyo on April 26. This non-traditional venue for revealing the performance flagship is partially explained by Japan being a strong market for Ferrari cars and merchandise. The FX prototype was designed by Ken Okuyama, a former Japanese stylist for Pininfarina who also penned the 2000 Pininfarina Ferrari Rossa concept.
The Ferrari FX will officially be presented at the Paris Auto Show on September 26th, when presumably the official name will be released. The two leading monikers discussed are F60 and Enzo.

The exotic FX will bring Ferrari's most advanced technology to the road, directly derived from the Italian automaker's Formula 1 World Championship experience. The carbon-fiber-intensive car will be powered by a V-12 engine producing upwards of 600 horsepower.

Also to be shown at the Tokyo exhibit will be the first drawings and scale models of the new Maserati Quattroporte, offering a sneak peek at the four-door model due to appear at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. "

I firmly believe that it will be RWD, AWD weighs so much and is anti-F1 tech. Also, that square design is reminiscent of the Williams BMW (I saw it at the Toronto Auto show, pretty intricate around the lower back (ie, exhaust), IMO)

And there is no rear wing because it does not need it. About half of the downforce on an F1 car comes from venturis under the car, which this new supercar (and the modena) use. This car will have incredible downforce, probably at least 1000lbs worth, perhaps even enough to drive upside down at high speed. (Proof that venturis work so well: The Lotus 79 was the first to have them, and the drivers bitched so much becuse they dialled in TOO MUCH downforce)

I wonder if any will make it to Canada
