Codename Project FX, Ferrari's next super car is being engineered with the
help of Ferrari's ace driver Michael Schumacher. Like the F50, the F60
will harness cutting-edge and sophisticated technology from its Formula
One race car. The F60 will be made faster than the F50 which never quite
managed to equal the 627 Bhp Maclaren F1 in terms of raw speed. The F60,
however, will correct this. Rumors had it that Ferrari's engineers are
using the Maclaren's figure as a target. This means 0-100 Km/h in 3.2s,
0-160km/h in 6.3s, the standing kilometer in 19.6s and a maximum velocity
of 378 km/h. Responsible for the F60's stellar performance is its
mid-mounted V6 engine pumping out at least 620 BHP. Early engine test is
rumored to produced a reliable 670 Bhp. The F60's engine will feature 4
valves per cylinder, like the Formula One F399 race car's V10 engine. This
in contrast to the F50's engine which has 5 valves per cylinder. The F60
will have an upgraded version of Ferrari's six-speed F1 paddle shift
gearbox like the F355 F1 and 360 Modena. The transmission is installed by
shrinking of the rear axle and has a hydraulic clutch like the current F1
transmission in the F355 and the 360 ModenaIt will be the only
transmission that is available for the F60. The carbon-fiber chassis will
be even stiffer than the F50's. The suspension of the F60 will follow
Formula One practice of having lengthy alloy double wishbones and pushrod
spring/damper units fitted almost horizontally. Being develop concurrently
are bespoke Brembo brakes that promises massive stopping power.
The carbon fibre frame will assures exceptional rigidity. On the F50, the
motor was carrier (it supported elements of abeyance and was fixed to the
frame). The F60 takes the same architecture but a false vertical frame in
aluminum has been added behind the cockpit to reduce the noise and
vibrations of the inside. This false frame is fixed on the composite
material, and cushions of rubber went up on every point of attachment of
the motor. The abeyance is composed of double triangles in light alloy and
compounds spring-shock absorber nearly installed horizontally, in the
front and to the rear under the clutch. It can happen that one keeps
simple classic shock absorbers rather than the amortization to electronic
piloting of the F50 and the other models Ferrari. Finally, the system of
braking adopts pierced massifs disks and ventilated.
This prototype was destroyed at Fiorano (4 December 2001) by a fire.
