Ferrari's New V-12-Powered Flagship

Ferrari's new front-engined flagship, coming this summer, is perfectly proportioned and refreshingly different, yet 100 percent true to the brand and oozing Italianità through every pore of its lavishly appointed interior. The striking two-seater was designed in-house by maestro Flavio Manzoni and his team, and it is such an obvious tribute to the legendary 365GTB/4 that it should be badged Daytona-which won't happen, because Ferrari already wasted that coveted name on the limited-edition mid-engined Daytona SP3.

And if you mod it to a 10 cylinder Ferrari will ask you by letter to revert it back.. otherwise SUE YOU! Only exhaust and wheels pretty much. Can't even call it like herrari like the youtuber does Guess you better buy a supra and swap in a v8 and do what you want with out harassment

[@mitchelllivingstone1358]

Thank goodness those wheels are milled we wouldn't want them to be forged which make them both stronger and lighter

[@nathanstretch]

Not necessarily. I expect you're thinking of forged vs cast wheels. These milled wheels though will presumably be milled from a forged block. Now, true, milling will cut the grains of the block, which would be inferior to a forged wheel with unbroken grains. But on the other hand, you'll have much more flexibility in terms of designing the shape, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if a stronger and/or lighter wheel could be achieved. (In fact I'd be surprised if that weren't the case, because Ferrari isn't stupid, and otherwise they wouldn't do it.) I'm sure they're ridiculously expensive though.

[@jwillwork3683]

But then they wouldn't cost 75k for a set of 4

[@user-kd5cu7qf3f]

There's pros and cons. I mean it is a small v12 car I can imagine it isn't all that heavy in the back so the traction and stability has to go somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️ (for this car to be the size of a newer supra I mean cmon)

[@juicicles5881]

@@user-kd5cu7qf3f There are cons to every method but forging, that's accurate. It's ok, i don't expect everyone to know about metalcraft. If you have the option, always go forged. You will have less durability breakdown than other methods. Sure, there's a weight increase, but forged wheels are less likely to crack on holes and stuff in the road. The reason it is stronger is you pound the metal down when it's hot (and a LOT less hot than it needs to be for melting and casting. this is less not fun for the workers). The layers of grain in it are more tightly-packed. Density equals strength and strength equals durability. Anvils and the tools used to work metal will always be forged. Unless the smith is trying to be cheap... but it's not that cheap to replace cast things multiple times compared to one life for a forged
