Ferrari’s mid-engined supercars—the 288 GTO, the F40, the F50 and the Enzo—are the sort of cars that turn ordinary folks into raving car enthusiasts, and raving car enthusiasts into moaning piles of jelly. So you should expect to find yourself quivering on the floor this autumn, when Ferrari unveils their latest member of their supercar lineage—one making as much as 920 horsepower.

According to Automobile (among other sources we’ve heard from), the F70/Enzo replacement/Italian Jesus Supercar will combine a 7.3 liter, 800 horsepower version of the 6.3 liter V12 used in the FF and 599 replacement with a 120 horsepower KERS-inspired hybrid electric system. Max out both power sources simultaneously, you’ve got 920 horsepower at your command—but when tooling through traffic, the V12 can shut off entirely and the Italian Jesus Supercar can cruise along with nary an emission. (Unless the driver farts.)

Not only is the new Ferrari supercar expected to be much more powerful than the Enzo it succeeds, it’ll likely be much lighter, too. The Ferrari Enzo Ferrari weighed in at 3,010 pounds, but Maranello is purportedly aiming to bring the Italian Jesus Supercar to market with a curb weight around that of the 2,550 pound FXX. If they succeed, that’ll give the IJS a power-to-weigh ratio of 2.77 pounds per horsepower—compared to 4.16 lbs/hp for the Bugatti Veyron.

But sadly, the son-of-Enzo could be the last of the great V12 supercars—at least out of Maranello. Any subsequent Ferrari hypercars may be forced to give up the 12-cylinder engine for twin-turbo V8s in the name of increasingly rigid environmental regulations—part of an engine downsizing trend that could even wind up sticking forced-induction V6s in Ferraris before you know it. “Now that Formula 1 is about to agree to switch to six-cylinder engines, a downsized powerplant may become acceptable for our next entry-level road car,” Ferrari CEO Amedeo Felisa told Automobile. Well, at least we’ll always have the Italian Jesus Supercar. [via Automobile]
