According to the source, the Ferrari F12 replacement will get a larger capacity engine compared to its predecessor. The 6.3-liter V12 has been bored out to 6.5-liters and will produce 800 hp and 530 lb-ft of torque. The naturally aspirated motor is capable of delivering 80 percent of torque at just 3500 rpm.
