Ferrari will unveil its 710hp successor to the 599GTB Fiorano at the Geneva motor show in March, according to German mag Auto Bild.
Ferrari F620 GT set for Geneva - with 710hp
Bye-bye 599: Maranello's new flagship GT is called the F620 - and it should pack quite a punch
According to our German colleagues (whoserendering and spy-shot story you can see here), the new car's internal codename is F152, but it will be christened the F620 when it comes to market.
As well as front-end styling that owes a great deal to the Ferrari FF, the F620 will use the same 6.3-litre V12, albeit with an extra 90hp. It won't get the four-wheel-drive system from the FF, however, Ferrari perhaps wisely sticking to a more purist-friendly rear-wheel drive set-up for its flagship GT. (Much as we predicted lastspring, but we don't like to brag...)
The transmission of that power, meanwhile, will be via a version of the same seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox used in the 458 Italia.

I wonder how much cash. If it's less than about £300k then the One-77 might be looking a little silly. Though having said that I haven't seen a single review of one, so perhaps I shouldn't judge. Maybe it really is worth a million quid.
Looks like Ferrari might have another game-changer here. Mclaren must be feeling daunted. What with the 458, FF and this they'll have one hell of a lineup.

Is 710bhp not a little bit excessive for a GT car? By all means in a sports/supercar, just seems a bit unnecessary in a GT car. Can't see it being a looker either if it's taking styling hints from the FF.
The front-engine-RWD model in the Ferrari range isn't supposed to be a GT, it's supposed to be a supercar. As opposed to the 458, which is supposed to be a (super-)sportscar.The FF is the 'GT' model (or maybe the California).
