Ferrari F70

The Ferrari F70 is a road-going racecar produced by Ferrari (KEU).

Body
Internally codenamed the F1-R, the F70 was designed as a road-going version of an F1 car. The philosophy behind this new downsized and lightweight hypercar is derived from 2007’s Millechilli concept. Although little more than a fibreglass model, it demonstrated Ferrari’s aim to increase the performance of future models by shedding weight. Millechilli, which means 1,000kg in Italian, is the F70’s kerbweight. This is a full 365kg less than the Enzo, and considerably lighter than the FXX. The body itself is that of a Ferrari Le Mans car; to keep the design identical but to comply with stringent safety regulations, the F70 employs special carbon composites strong enough to resist common crashes while getting rid of un-aerodynamic bumpers.

Motor
In 2007 the first F70 test car was finished; by then the original twin-turbo V8 was replaced by a biofuel (BG100)-powered twin-turbo V10. This motor allows for greater HP, speed and torque than any conventional fuel/energy source yet allows the car to be more efficient than a Nissan Leaf and any Smart (this technology can now be found on most Europan production cars, maily Fiat's.

In 2011 the car went on sale, and only 59 were made. These sold out in one month.
