Ferrari V10 Roadcar?

I would think the F430 replacement will be a V10. For the time being Ferrari are getting enough HP out of their V8's to suffice.

 

I kinda hope the F430 replacement is a v-10 from a V-8. I think it would compete better with the Gallardo, and continue to set Ferrari apart from competitors in terms of the Vs.

Would a upgrade in the Vs cost more?

 

I think its only a matter of time before we see a V10 Ferrari.

 

I give it about 10years or so before we see that happen. i also wouldnt be suprized if it has a turbo.

 

pretty soon F1 cars are gonna be V8's , dam Bernnie

 

Agreed. Bring on the V12s!!!


Maybe a V10 in the next supercar? Or will they now stick to a V12 format for the supercars?

 

Oh no!

Soon supercars will replace there V-12s with V-8s!.

 

Here's a question to your question. From a marketing standpoint do you push three cars? Does the V10 replace the boy racer line (3x8/360) or the touring car line (TRs, 550s)? I suppose it replaces the 430 and competes with the Gallardo. But, then, how do you justify the 575? What's the diff. I think you end up selling fewer cars.

 

Very unlikely a V10 in the next supercar. Will you pay 30% more than the Enzo to get less number of cylinders. Marketing will never allow it. From the technology point of view, V10 has proof that they are more efficient. Lighter weight of the engine and also lighter weight for structure and frames to support it. And they can give such power no different than the V12. I believe the next supercar generation's technology should be focusing on lightweight instead of big huge muscle engine like back in the old days...

 

maybe v14's/16 are next hahahah.....maybe

 

I think we will see 4 litre V10's and the V12's will grow to 6.5 litre's.

 

They should make a 4-cylinder economy model.

The F220.

And a 16-cylinder to compete with Bugatti.

And a 5-cylinder to compete with Volvo.

And an in block cammed 7 litre V8 to compete with Chevy.

Oh! And jet engines!

With Tubi afterburners!

 

A V10 Ferrari would be a "me too' car. Ferrari traditionally has gone out of it's way to not be a follower. When the Muira came out, everyone was disappointed that Ferrari didn't counter with a mid-engine, but came out with the Daytona instead. When the mid-engine hoopla died down, then the BB was announced. But then again, Enzo was a very proud man. Times are different now and money speaks the loudest. As long as there are year+ long waiting lists for the F430, Ferrari is unlikely to change the formula...

I think the same.

 

Max Mosley of the FIA sets the technical regulations, not Bernie Ecclestone who is the commercial rights holder. But you are correct, with F1 adopting a v8 standard, the only good reason for Ferrari to go to a v10 is no longer valid.
