. Next generation Ferrari 400-series
. Aluminium honeycomb chassis
. 6-litre engine from Enzo
. 500 bhp
. Paris 2004

Continuing the 4-seater, front?engine theme of the original car, which made its debut way back in 1992, and the new model is expected to be larger and roomier. Expected to be named the 460GT or possibly 460 Bologna, it will use the 6.0 litre V12 engine first seen in the Enzo, but will have available around 500 HP and a torque of about 600 Nm.

Raising the power stakes has been necessary in light of the advances made with the rivalling Bentley Continental R.

The 4?seater will be available with two transmissions, a manual 6-speed box or the new 'F1-style' version with shift-paddles behind the wheel. It will be 4.85 metres long and about 2 metres wide.
