Over the last decade, steadily rising gas prices have led to an effort to increase efficiency and lower fuel consumption.
And while supercar makers have made strides with higher fuel economy, they have put an even bigger effort into monumental horsepower gains.
Ferrari is about to introduce its successor to the 599 GTB Fiorano, and the company has now officially said that the new car, rumored to be called the F620, will be the “most powerful Ferrari ever.”
With 660 horsepower, the current 599 GTB has never been accused of being a slouch. If Ferrari truly means this will be the most powerful car it has ever built, we can anticipate a horsepower number that will exceed 850.
Its previous most powerful model was the 845 horsepower FXX Evolution track day car.
Video of the F620, which is being piloted by F1 drivers Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso, has just surfaced on YouTube.
Since the bodywork is heavily camouflaged, this video will have to satisfy us until the car is officially revealed on February 29.
Take a look below (via YouTube):

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 12:35pmThis is a millionaire playboy’s suicide machine. A technological dream car I’m sure. Only a veteran Grand Prix champion could safely handle this beast. It‘s like JFK Jr’s fast powerful Piper Saratoga…which a flight instructor friend of mine said he was unqualified to fly…but he could afford one. Powerful machinery can kill their irresponsible owners. Rock star Vince Neill killed his best friend when he totalled his Ferrari on a stoned beer run. Gimme a vintage V-12 Ferrari 250 GT or a 1964 E-Jag anyday. 150 MPH is fast enough for the average citizen.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 10:35amThe Obama Gods will punish these people who manufacture cars that burn, “dare I say it GASOLINE.” The elite’s will drive these super cars and we the people who pay taxes will be forced to drive a Chevy VOLT that goes almost to your work station. Drive 20 miles dies, walk 2 miles and then push the damn thing home to charge it up and do it all over again. The UAW assn. is happy.

Posted on February 22, 2012 at 9:19amMaybe because there are infinitely more 180 HP everyday cars on the road? Just think if everyone had 850 HP supercars! Kinda scary, huh?
Not that I would walk away from the Ferrari, just pointing out that your argument is not valid.
