Growing up, one of my favorite supercars had to be the Ferrari F40. It was just a gorgeous machine that was remarkably fast. Ferrari is continuing the long-standing tradition with the upcoming Ferrari F70 and, yes, she’s a beauty.

Now, while these may look like real photos of the Ferrari F70 upon some European motorways, they’re not; instead, these are just really, really good renderings of the Italian sports car. The renderings are derived from actual spy shots and should be reasonably accurate. We’ll be able to confirm these kinds of details when the F70 is supposedly revealed to the world at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show.

As I understand it, this is the successor to the Ferrari Enzo, which was colloquially called the F60 in some circles, since it followed the Ferrari F50. The Ferrari F70, which may receive a new name when it is officially announced, has a rumored top speed of 250mph with a 0-60mph time of 2.5 seconds. People are saying there will be a massive V12 in there to push out that kind of power.

I’m just hoping that the boffins at Top Gear UK get their hands on this car sooner rather than later. Jeremy Clarkson just might say that this is the most beautiful supercar “in the world.”

Sure, the 700hp twin turbo V12 (sourced from Mercedes AMG) doesn’t really hold a candle to the monstrous 1184bhp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, but this Zonda successor is perfectly capable of rocketing you at speeds up to 230mph. That’s faster than the speed of a commercial aircraft at time of takeoff.

This airplane-based inspiration goes further with a series of four control flaps on the Pagani’s four corners. They rise and fall to maintain the stability of the car at higher speeds, not unlike the automatic rear wing that you find on some other super sports cars.

Yeah, there’s only going to be twenty of these. Yes, it’s going to cost you a few grand shy of $1.4 million (1 million euro). But when you go flying by on the highway, you’re bound to get a few of those “what the heck was that?” looks from the people cruising along in their Civics.

One question, though: How do you pronounce Huayra? Better yet, can we get Schwarzenegger to say it? “Hoo-ah-rah-rah-it’s-not-a-tumah!”
