Ferrari’s successor to the Enzo will debut sometime this year, company chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced in a press release this morning. “At the end of the year, we’ll also be unveiling the new Enzo, a limited series model and our first ever hybrid car,” he said. This is slightly ahead of the 2013 debut we estimated when we caught a prototype during recent testing. Bear in mind that just because he’s calling it the new Enzo doesn’t mean the car will actually be called the new Enzo. The name “F70″ is floating around as a rumor, but we can’t confirm anything yet.
Whatever the name, the Enzo’s successor will pack a mid-mounted V-12 engine and a hybrid system. (You can read more about the hybrid setup, which Ferrari revealed at April’s Beijing auto show, here.) The combined power output should top 900 hp, which is just about enough to power one side of a Lockheed P-38 Lightning.
