A guy I know met with a Ferrari engineer lately and apparently he was told that the 812 Superfast is going to be the last V12 model with a n/a engine. 

You mean the last NA V12 without hybrid or without turbo?

The first Ferrari V12's had less than 2.0L - wonder if we are headed full circle?

Well, with a turbo, it wouldn't be a n/a engine anymore. Smiley

Truth is: I don't trust these claims. Car manufacturers can always push another n/a model "in between" in a model line if they want to, so... Smiley I am also cautious about the Porsche GT models. The latest GT3 could be the last one with a n/a engine but just imagine Porsche finds a way to reduce emissions with a n/a engine after a year or two, then what? Technology moves on, so the "last" one may actually not really be the last. Smiley
