A V12 Sound Producing 830hp
The limited-edition hypercar, developed by Squadra Corse and scheduled for a world premiere at the end of 2020, has had its engine revealed ahead of the full unveiling.
The engine is a 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 unit that produces a maximum output of 830hp (approximately 842ps). It is paired with a 6-speed sequential transmission, and the differential will feature a mechanical self-locking device allowing the driver to adjust preload.
The hypercar that will house this engine features an aluminum front frame and a carbon fiber monocoque body. It is said to have many characteristics different from a standard road-legal car, including a large rear wing, a roof air scoop, and a racing hood with dual air intakes.
The full details of this hypercar have yet to be revealed. Along with the engine sound released in the video, we eagerly anticipate what kind of circuit-only car will be unveiled at the end of the year.
