Ferrari puts up Ferrari F149 GT teaser site!

Ferrari F149

Ferrari has set up a countdown site for its upcoming Ferrari F149 GT car with four sound clips and a promise for more details and photos to be revealed later.

From the sound clips we can guess that the new F149 will come with a V8 engine and will have a SuperFast2 computerised shifting transmission that can do shifts in about 60 milliseconds. You can hear the cogs swapping smoothly without much delay in the drive-by clips, and a V8 growl, likely a derivative of the F430’s 4.3 litre V8.

The GT car will have a front engine and power will go to the rear-wheels, and styling is expected to be inspired by its larger sibling the 612 Scaglietti. The teaser image above gives a shadowy preview of the rear brakelight cluster of the car.

The new Ferrari F149 GT car will be unveiled at the 2008 Paris Motor Show.

    Paul they already told that they are going to use the same 4.3 V8 F430 engine.
    Only other parts of the car they use more cheaper tech.
