Rumours Ferrari is already testing its all-new turbo V6 engine have only gained in strength in the last days and weeks.<\/p>\n
Citing video evidence, we reported last month that a LaFerrari supercar had lapped the Maranello marque’s private Fiorano circuit amid the distinct tones of a turbo engine.<\/p>\n
Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport now has more details.<\/p>\n
It has published detailed photos that depict the supercar, with a camouflaged livery, also featuring a “suspiciously large” air intake on the roof.<\/p>\n
The car also had a “giant wing” at the rear.<\/p>\n
Correspondent Tobias Gruner said it is obvious the car was not powered by its usual V12 engine, but a “small-volume turbo engine”.<\/p>\n
And on the livery was a triangular, yellow warning sticker, indicating that complex electric technology lurked beneath — perhaps the sort of sophisticated energy-recovery systems that will power the team’s 2014 F1 car?<\/p>\n
“Ferrari will not publicly comment on the test,” Gruner said, adding that it is also possible Ferrari was testing in preparation for a potential Le Mans project.<\/p>\n
But the heavily-modified LaFerrari also featured a F1 2014-style, single and central exhaust outlet at the rear, while the car “sounded suspiciously like” the audio clips that have been released depicting this year’s turbo V6s in development.<\/p>\n
