just to clear things a little.
my info are sure and correct, you are free to doubt, but then don't complain

this cars, the red F430 and the grey 360, are both mules of the next F142 car, aka the replacement for the F430.
it should be unveiled at the end of the year or at the beginning of the 2010.
right now they are considering the F142 a 2010 model year.
the engine will be a tuned version of the unit you find in the California, so an high revving V8 with DI and NA.

the rumored Enzo's successor, will debut much later, at this time, there shouldn't be any kind of mule, prototype or muletype (in Italian, muletto, prototipo and mulottipo, referring to the fact they can use certain parts of the old car or of the new car in a different ratio).
rumors about the fact that car will use a twin turbo V8 engine are correct, even if last word wasn't already been said last time I asked. it's the more likely probability btw.
so, V8, TT, Di.

Millechili concept is nothing but the basic idea, a smaller and lighter car.
the exterior is obviously going to be much different from that and the Enzo, and probably even the name is not going to be Millechili.

the FX60/70 naming refers to the fact such cars were supposed to celebrate Ferrari's 60th and 70th birthday.
tbh, only the F40 was released at the company's 40th birthday, as the F50 was unveiled in 1995, so after 48 years from the foundation, and the Enzo in 2002, so after 55 years.

the real internal naming code is much difference btw, as you see.
for example, the 360 Modena is F131, while the F430 is F131 Evo, because of the car's shared platform (chassis and the likes).
so I doubt FX60 or 70 is the real code name, tbh I'm pretty sure it isn't, I just can't remember the real one.
