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.
