I think that car is absolutely sexy! But I will be a bit dissapointed if they go to FI. Maybe its just me but I would much rather they keep it NA! When I first read they were downsizing to a v8 I was like WTF? Then I read that it would have over 700hp and again I was like WTF? I was dumbfounded because I just KNEW that ferrari would not go to forced induction to get that power, so I Was wondering how the hell they were going to get 700hp out of a V8? All I could think of was a V8 that revs to 12k i.e. an F1 type motor!
But then I was saddened by the two words twin turbo
Please keep it NA Ferrari!

Why!?!? The greatest Ferrari ever (F40) was a twin turbo V8. And it makes one of the greatest sounds on earth.

The F40 is definitely one of my favorite cars of all time!
I'm sure you've all seen these photos, but they are definitely worth reposting!

2200 lbs and 700+ hp is NOT a designed compromise for fuel economy, IMO. 
Just ask Gordon Murray (McLaren F1 designer) and Lotus. Heck, this thing if real would have a better power-to-weight ratio than a Veyron. I would much rather them build something like this (not that I can afford any Ferrari anyway) than some bloated yet high powered thing.
