Despite most people’s expectations the new Ferrari FF turned out to be quite a successful model. And now rumors suggest that elements from this model will also be used for the 599 successor. The new GT model is expected to be unveiled next year and will use the same gasoline direct injection V12 used in the FF, but tricked to deliver an impressive 700 HP, up from the FF’s 600 HP.
And no, the next 599 won’t be a four-wheel drive model as the FF. Instead Ferrari will keep the current RWD configuration. The company itself confirmed it in a previous statement that says that a AWD system won’t be used on Ferrari’s ’ultimate’ sporting machines.
Also, the next FF will focus on reducing the total weight, but this won’t mean it will get carbon fiber elements: "The history of aluminum is not finished yet and full carbon fiber structures are still not economically viable for build volumes of more than two or three cars per day.
