Rumored to premiere in October 2024, the Prancing Horse that will succeed the LaFerrari has been recently spied by carparazzo Varryx with production bodywork. The most striking detail is the lack of sound, which is explained by the 50-kph speed limit in Maranello.
Not being able to rev that baby into the stratosphere is one thing, but as opposed to the LaFerrari, the newcomer is powered by a completely different engine. A turbocharged mill, that is, which is based on the V6 of the road-going 296 and Le Mans-winning 499P.

In addition to emission and fuel economy regulations, the sixer produces maximum torque at lower engine speeds due to its twin snails.
