New Ferrari spied

[Jaguar D-Type]

The following is from autoweek.com on May 17th:

While Ferrari is unlikely to produce the Super Enzo (AW, May 16) seen pounding around its Fiorano test track, there is still good news out of Maranello: A long-overdue replacement for the 575M Maranello is nearly ready for public view.

The Pininfarina-designed car, codenamed F139 and seen here in camouflaged form, will likely debut at the Geneva motor show in March 2006 under the name 600 Imola. The 600 shares its platform with Ferrari’s [aluminum] 612 Scaglietti, making it considerably larger than the 575.

Naturally, the 600 also will be faster. The V12, based on the 612’s 5.75-liter engine (itself an updated version of the 575’s engine), is bored out to 6.0 liters and will deliver more than the 612’s 540 hp, with output perhaps falling somewhere between 580 and 600 hp. The 600 Imola will feature some of the 612 Scaglietti’s styling elements, though perhaps not as pronounced as seen here.





I hope it will be available with a regular 6 speed manual transmission.

Somewhat of an old photo now, but nonetheless I always love seeing spy pics. It's about time the successor to the 575 has emerged. I didn't care for the looks of the 612 until I saw one outside a bar one night and was aw-struck. It's beautiful and this car will be nothing less than a sight to behold.
