Ferrari’s LaFerrari has for some time held the title of the firm’s only hypercar, and since its inception, no other hypercar offering has graced the Maranello lineup, until now.

Rumoured to arrive in 2025 with production set for the third quarter of 2024, the LaFerrari successor has been spotted in regular test rule guise with notable physique traits such as the gaping from air intakes, staggered side air intakes contouring a geometric flank, high-riding haunches, a billboard-sized rear wing stretching from one hip to the other, twin-exit exhausts similarly styled to the rival firm’s STO offering curtailed by taillights similar to those found on the 296 GTB.

As with any Maranello-bred performance car, specs and other information have been kept under lock and key. As the successor to a nameplate steeped in automotive prestige, the LaFerrari’s performance will be a benchmark that the anticipated runner-up will need to live up to. When unveiled in 2013, the sultry LaFerrari was motivated by a 6,3-litre V12 producing a total of 715 kW and over 900 N.m. Speculation leads us to assume that the powertrain of the brand’s next hypercar will be a hybridized V8 or V6 powerplant found in recent Ferrari titles. A high power output will be is guaranteed to be on par or greater than that of the SF90 Spider, which has an output of 745 kW!

Rumours suggest that we may see a full unveiling of the firm’s next hypercar may happen closer to the end of this year, with potential customers likely to receive a sneak peek ahead of the reveal. Whispers lead us to believe that the Ferrari hypercar will see less than 1 000 units produced and will serve as the curtain raiser for Ferrari’s XX and Spider, which are set to debut later this decade.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
