Ferrari's 599 successor sneak preview
You'll have to wait for the full gen, but here's a glimpse of what to expect with the 599 replacement
The new car is expected to make its debut in the metal at the Geneva show, but Ferrari promises in this teaser video that we'll be treated to a virtual unveiling of the car, whose working name appears to be F620 GT, on February 29.
Until then we won't be able to tell you all that much about what Maranello is describing as 'the most powerful Ferrari ever'. Other than the fact that it's going to be rear-wheel drive and will come fitted with a 710hp-or-so version of the 6.3-litre V12 also found in the Ferrari FF and a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox.
Judging by the video, we can also tell you that Alonso and Massa have taken one for a spin. Unfortunately any more information on the new car is just going to have to wait. But the good news is you won't have to wait all that long...
170hp, to be found in every mid-size saloon car at the moment .
Seems to me a new era of increasingly irrelevant, overpriced and far-too-powerful-for-anything-other-than-a-deserted-racetrack cars is about to dawn. That doesn't mean they shouldn't make them for the fortunate few, but I just can't get excited about this.

"a new V12 car, the end of an era".
However much I hate to say it, they won't get a place in tomorrows world imho. Everybody needs to downsize and if McLaren/Porsche would make an equally powerful and capable car that does double the MPG and half the service cost of the Ferrari, sales will dwindle.
