The C9 will get its 6.0-litre bi-turbo V12, dropping the old 7.0-litre V12 in the process. The firm is keen to keep this secret – just check out the black coverings on the normally clear engine panels.
Producing around 700bhp and 1000Nm of torque, the C9 should be able to do 0-60mph in under three seconds and accelerate onto a top speed in excess of 225mph.
Making sure all this power goes to the road are bespoke Pirelli P-Zero Rosso tyres – 335/30/ZR20 section at the rear and 255/35/ZR19 at the front – while enormous carbon ceramic brake discs ensure the C9 stops as well as it goes.
In addition, the C9 will use advanced active aerodynamics, following in the wake of Ferrari's 458 Italia. Expect the new model to debut at a major motor show this year, before sales start in 2011 with a price tag of around £750,000.
