and F60 Enzo, will almost surely surpass the price of the $850,000 Enzo. The car will use the V12 Hy-Kers engine that it showed in China. The F70 will go on sale some time next year, and the car will be revealed later this year. 

That system used two electric motors. One was attached after the transmission and added power to the car. The other was at the front of the engine and powered the car's ancillary functions. Both are linked to an ECU for control. Ferrari did not divulge the system's power at the time but only said that it added 1kW of power for every 1kg of the system's weight. The engine used was the new 6.3l V12 used in the F12 BerlinettaFerrari F12berlinettaItaly, 2012 > present16 photos
