LaFerrari FXX Rendered by RC82 Workchop

Rendering by RC82 Workchop
The guys at RC82 Workchop released this rendering of what the track focused XX variant of Ferrari's latest hypercar could look like. And the result is pretty amazing! Only 30 examples (that you can't actually bring home) of the Ferrari FXX based on the Enzo hypercar were produced at the price of nearly $1.8 million each.

The new LaFerrari costs nearly $1.3 million, so its XX variant could very possibly surpass $2 million.. In case you forgot how awesome LaFerrari is, click here.

LaFerrari that could have been...

Here's another LaFerrari prototype that could have become the real deal. This one is codenamed "Tensostruttura".

A total of 9 LaFerrari prototypes were being considered before Ferrari decided to go with a more conventional design featuring headlights similar to those of the 458 Italia and the F12 Berlinetta... Only two out of the nine prototypes were produced on a 1:1 scale. This one, and the "Manta" concept.

You can watch a video of the Tensostruttura here.
You can watch the video of the Manta that we've posted before here.

All You Need to Know About LaFerrari

It might be a message from Ferrari telling people who were unhappy with the F150 appellation to go f**k their selves.. So here it is, "LaFerrari", the fastest, most powerful, most advanced road going masterpiece ever made by Ferrari. THE Ferrari represents everything that Ferrari is.

The recently unveiled Lamborghini Veneno might look outrageous from the outside, but its shares its beating heart with the Aventador. But the new LaFerrari, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. While from the outside it might resemble the 458 Italia, inside it hides one of the most technologically advanced power trains ever put on a road car. And what a car, a 949 Hp beast combining 160 Hp of pure electric power with a 6.3-liter V12 producing 789 Hp.

When it comes to performance, the Enzo replacement sheds 5 seconds off its predecessor's time around the Fiorano test track, which is a lot since we are talking about a 2.9 km (1.86 miles) long circuit.

Just like its direct competitor, the McLaren P1, the Maranello engineers didn't focus on top speed in the first place. Instead, they focused their energy on making the new hypercar as aerodynamically efficient as possible. The result is a car that can sprint from 0 to 100 Km/h (62 mph) in less than three seconds with the 200 Km/h (124 mph) bar destroyed after just another four seconds. So who cares if the top speed is just 330 Km/h (205 mph) is the car is able to reach 200 Km/h even before you can finish saying that number...

So now the real question is, will it be faster than the McLaren P1?

Best F150 Rendering yet...

Rendering by: Josiah LaColla
This is in our opinion the best rendering yet of Ferrari's upcoming F150 hypercar. The rendering was created based on the latest teasers released by Ferrari, as well as several spy shots and spy videos. We think that the rendering could be more than 90% accurate.. But let's try to be patient and wait until the big reveal at the Geneva Motor Show next month so stay tuned!

The Ferrari F150's engine: Hear it!

Last week, we had the chance to hear what the McLaren P1's engine sounds like. This time it's the Ferrari "F150"'s turn to make us have an eargasm. And let us remind you that we are talking about a 800 Hp engine working with an electric motor producing 150 Hp. Which means that the driver will have a total of 950 Hp available when needed. The F150 will very possibly be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show next month, so stay tuned!

Marussia MR02 Revealed, now has KERS

Marussia F1 Team revealed its 2013 MR02 F1 car this morning at the Circuito de Jerez. The car is a huge improvement over last year, both aesthetically and technologically. The MR02 have completed the full 2012 season without KERS but things are about to change this year thanks to the integration of a KERS system developped by Williams Advanced Engineering.

We hope to see Marussia and Caterham join the rest of the field this year in terms of speed. That would make the 2013 season which already looks very promising, even more exciting. More pictures of the MR02 to come...

Watch the McLaren P1 Being Driven on a Race Track and Spitting Flames!

Ever since they publicly introduced the McLaren P1 at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the guys at Woking kept working hard to push the McLaren P1 to its limits. To make our waiting less painful, McLaren released a video of a camouflaged version of the P1 being tested on a race track. And for the first time we get to hear what the new hypercar's V8 sounds like. Unlike the prototype seen in Paris, the plastic rear grille was removed and now we can see the taillights though we're not sure it's the final look of the car.

With the McLaren P1, the Ferrari F150 and the Porsche 918, this year looks really promising for car fans... Video after the jump.
