I didn't mention acceleration if you read my original post...

I'm sorry jump, but you seemed to have gotten confused.

The article's only mention of the next "Enzo" is that the FXX is a project car.

The 0-60 time was 2.8 and was for the FXX. BTW, where was this 6.5 V12 you saw. I've read the article 3 times, and it's only about the FXX, and states nothing about the next "Enzo" besides the FXX being a project for it.

I saw no quarter miles, no mention of 850Hp anywhere.

here's my thought: 850hp is pointless, except for the fact that no matter how fast you are going, you can always put your foot into it and there will be more power there for you to use as you like. I drive a car with 127hp/127ft-lb, there isn't always power there. in the "next enzo," if you're cruising along at 80mph, and it's rated at much over 200mph, you know that if you want it, the power and extra speed is there for you.
