The Ferrari Millenio is not just any normal beautifully crafted, futuristic super car, the Ferrari Millenio is an electric Ferrari. The vehicle is outfitted with dual electric motors that can be charged in two different ways including an inductive power transfer system and a more standard solar panel system. The vehicle was designed by Marko Petrovic.
Ferrari are to unveil their new two-seat super car at the Geneva Motor Show next March. It’ll replace their 599 GTB Fiorano, and be more powerful and lighter, becoming one of the company’s fastest-ever models. Currently dubbed as the F152, it’s been sighted near Ferrari’s base in Maranello, Italy – check our gallery to see it. It’s said that a new engine and transmission, developed from the Ferrari Four (FF), are being put through their paces.
The new 599’s spec is to include a 6.3-litre V12 direct-injection engine, producing 700bhp – 88bhp more than the current model. Unlike the FF, it won’t feature four-wheel drive – all the power will be sent to the rear wheels through the FF’s seven-speed twin-clutch transmission, with an F1-style electronic differential.
It’s slick styling draws inspiration from the 458 and FF, with a strip of LED daytime running lights at the front, a 599 GTO-inspired diffuser at the rear and dramatic buttresses either side of the rear window. Sales of the new car will start in late 2012, and the price is set to increase from the current car’s $333,730 to around $354,198.
Price: $354,198 USD
There are many exclusive cars out there and then there are some REALLY exclusive cars. If you own one of the five following cars, chances are one of your buddies doesn’t have one too. All five qualify as supercars of course but like the Enzo (now completely unavailable from Ferrari but still on our list in case one comes up at auction), all of them will make you a motoring deity.
For its debut, Carlsson will be producing only 25 of this coach-built leviathan, which comes with the option of a €30,000 Smart car in matching color for the missus. The manufacturer calls it a Super-GT, and it houses a SL65 AMG engine that is practical enough for daily use. But when you demand it, this beautiful coupe can oblige with 753 hp, which helps it speed through the 100km/h mark in just 3.7 seconds.
At US$9.6 million, the Aston Martin Super Sport is one of the world’s most expensive super cars. Curiously, the company building it is Star Electric Cars France (SECF), designer of coach-built specialty vehicles that includes Rolls-Royce golf carts. For that money, one gets lightweight carbon fiber bodywork, scissor doors, Alcantara upholstery, a twin-turbo 5.4 liter V8 engine capable of producing around 900 hp, and some bragging rights to go.
The world’s fastest-rising economic superpower deserves a ride of its own, and that comes in the form of a limited production Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce. The China edition is limited to 10 numbered cars, offered only to the country’s top collectors. Touted to be faster and more powerful than the Murciélago LP 640, the car boasts a 6.5-liter V12 engine that helps it leap from zero to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 342 km/h.
Wiesmann’s new MF5 Roadster, which is limited to 55 units, is retro-cool at its most frosty, with its throwback drop-top, extendable rear wing, and white-and-red cloak. Under the hood is BMW’s 5.0-liter V10 engine, which produces 507 hp and hurtles towards 100km/h in 3.9 seconds.
A much coveted modern classic, the Ferrari Enzo heralded the advent of F1-style technology in a road car when it was launched in 2002. Designed by Ken Okuyama, the former Pininfarina head designer, its V12 engine is based on the V8 found in Maserati’s Quattroporte. Only 400 units were produced and the car, which was offered at a base price of US$670,000, now trades at around US$1million at auctions.
Ferrari have released the convertible version of their 458 Italia sports car, the 458 Spider.The Ferrari 458 Spider is a refined open-topped version of the Ferrari 458 Italia and offers some uncompromising technological solutions, handling and performance. The 458 Spider is equipped with a Ferrari patented, fully retractable hard top and powered by Ferrari’s direct-injection 4.5 V8 that was nominated as the 2011 International Engine of the Year. To guarantee maximum driving pleasure and sportiness, certain of the car’s features have been calibrated such as the accelerator pedal mapping and the damping of the multilink suspension. In addition, to completely captivate the car’s occupants, the engine soundtrack has been honed.
The hard-top is entirely made out of aluminum offering a number of advantages over the traditional folding soft-top such as reducing 25kg in weight and reducing deployment time to just 14 seconds. The hard-top has been specially engineered to neatly fit ahead of the engine bay without compromising aerodynamics or the performance of the car. For maximum comfort, the 458 Spider features a generously sized adjustable electric wind stop designed to slow and diffuse the air in the cockpit enabling normal conversation to be held even at speeds of over 200 km/hour. The Ferrari 458 Spider is available to order now from Ferrari dealerships. The car is likely to go on sale in early 2012 after its debut in Frankfurt next month. Pre-Order: Ferrari
