Ferrari Millechili

The Ferrari Millechili (Italian for one thousand (mille) kilograms (chili)) is the name of a concept car shown at a technical symposium at Ferrari's headquarters in Maranello in 2007.^[1] It is also the name of a project by Ferrari to develop and manufacture a lightweight sports car. The development of the Millechili is being done in collaboration with University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Millechili Lab is a cross-project in which students are working on light-weight car design.^[1][2][3]

A production version of the Millechili concept car was speculated to enter production in 2010. It was believed that the car would be based on the F430's aluminum space frame on a 104.3-inch (2,650 mm) wheelbase and a V10 engine producing about 600 hp (447 kW).^[4]

It is currently believed that the Millechili concept car, developed with data gathered from the Ferrari FXX, will be the basis for a new Ferrari supercar called the F70.^[5]
