Ferrari Reveals HY-KERS V12 for Enzo Replacement at Beijing Auto Show

In any motor show, the Ferrari stand is a crowd magnet. Beijing wasn’t an exception, especially since the Prancing Horse displayed its brand-new F12berlinetta.

The company's CEO Amedeo Felisa said that the 730HP supercar lapped the Fiorano circuit in 1’23’’, which is the fastest time ever recorded by a production Ferrari, including the mighty Enzo. It’s also 30 percent more frugal than the 599 it replaces, with an average consumption of 15 lt/100 km (15 mpg US).

Even though the supercar, which made its Asian debut at Beijing, was the center of attention, the novelty that Ferrari displayed in China is the new powerplant that will power the next Enzo, rumored to be called the F70.

Ferrari has already released an official video showing the F12berlinetta driven in anger and doing politically incorrect things such as going sideways.

But since you can never have too much of a good thing, we thought we'd share with you another video made by YouTube user Marchettino who filmed a thinly camouflaged F12berlinetta doing the rounds on the track.

Ferrari F12berlinetta Rendered as a Spider Model

The all-new Ferrari F12berlinetta was only just unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show a couple of days ago, but it's never too early to speculate on the future.

The Carscoop reader who we've come to know by the alias "Lil-k Amaru" has whipped up quick rendering of what a spider version of the new Ferrari supercar may look like if Maranello were to create such a version.

Being that 'berlinetta' literally means little saloon in Italian and is used for two-seater coupes, we imagine that the open-top variant could be named something like F12spider. A high-resolution version of the opening picture can be viewed after the jump.

Ferrari F12berlinetta Photos and Videos from the Geneva Motor Show

Different Ferraris for different tastes: that was the objective set in Maranello four years ago. And with the world premiere of the F12berlinetta at the 82ndGeneva Motor Show, the people at Maranello believe that they have accomplished their goal having replaced every single model in the brand's range during said period.

Displayed in two new colors (Rosso Berlinetta and Aluminium), the V12-engined F12berlinetta is the most powerful as well as the fastest road model to ever roll out of the gates of Via Abertone Inferiore n.4.
