More details revealed on the Enzo 2.0

The Ferrari Enzo supercar was produced from 2002 to 2004 with a total run of 400 units. The final unit was donated to Pope John Paul II. After almost eight years, Ferrari is at it again with another benchmark breaking supercar.

Codenamed the F150, the Enzo 2.0 is confirmed to be powered by an evolved V12 6.3-litre 740bhp from the F12berlinetta. Bundled to the V12 will be an improved HY-KERS electric hybrid system, last seen at the Geneva Motor Show in 2010.

Similar in function to the KERS system in Formula One, the HY-KERS will be a performance booster, besides cutting down emissions. The advanced V12 with the high tech HY-KERS system will allow the Enzo 2.0 to achieve 200km/h in 10 percent lesser time from standstill, besides reducing lower CO2 emissions by 40 percent.

The HY-KERS system will also aid the Enzo 2.0 with torque vectoring, traction control and brake distribution. Quite similar to the McLaren, the Enzo 2.0 will have a monocoque constructed from carbon fibre. On top of the light and tough carbon material, the Enzo 2.0 will also feature four different types of the lightweight material which will be personally hand laminated. This process allows the Enzo 2.0 to increase torsional rigidity by 27 percent and beam stiffness by 22 percent.

The fuel tank and batteries will be installed behind the driver in a bid to lower the centre of gravity. Interestingly the Enzo 2.0 will have a similar length and wheelbase as the 458 Italia. The interior cabin is driver focused and features a movable steering wheel and pedal box while the seat is fixed. The Enzo 2.0 will be revealed (hopefully) at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March.
