It can reach from 0 to 60 mph in 3 seconds and to 124 mph in 8 seconds. The speed is expected to be higher than the F12 which boasts 211 mph.
The latest technology found in F12 TdF and GTC4Lusso including Side Slip Control Drift System and the four wheel steering system, will also be offered, which will be welcomed by Ferrari buyers. The new Ferrari is rumored to forego hydraulic steering in favor of an electric setup, the change which some might not be too happy about.
The new Ferrari is said to be more aggressive than its predecessor. Some described a floating rear diffuser suggesting that there may be a small space between the rear bumper and the diffuser.
