But why not go back to the F40 days? Did it say what it will be called; F70?

[QUOTE=NicFromLA;880905]I think you're wrong about that. The front engine V12 cars have rear transmissions, which means to make them AWD you'll need two drive shafts. Nissan does it on the GT-R and it's very heavy and very complicated. More likely you'll see it in the replacement for the 430 because doing AWD in a mid-engine car is much easier.

I can grantee you they are testing the transmissions, even if it's not sure, at this stage, if they are going to use it.
Can't say how it's designed, I only know is made by Haldex, and the new V12 cars are designed to accommodate it, forcing a lot of additional job to fit all the other parts without enlarging even more the chassis.
due to the aluminum choice for the chassis, it was an already cramped space.
The last words about the engine of the new Enzo are dated, but at the time, even if a V12 option was still under consideration, they were already pointing to the twin turbo V8.
If this can add some credibility to you, words are directly from an insider, it's up to you to trust them.

Oh okay. Thanks.
By the way the internal name is F151.

sounds familiar indeed. even if search it on google and they will say its the codename of the SUV...
I am eagerly awaiting the hideousness of this particular model. God that designer needs to be demoted. First they ruined the 456, then the 360, the 599 isnt half bad but I can't imagine this car will be a showstopper.
My guess is that they will put the V12 from the 599 into the 612 replacement.

moar shots.

I don't understand why Ferrari wants to be Lexus...

I don't know if it's a definitive setup.
The California's are fake, so there is no reason to use them on a prototype.
Maybe they are just bugging us. I wish.
Thanks to whoever fixed the title.
EDIT: despite both the protos (look at the rims and fuel cap) are using the vertical setup.
new video:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6WGJLexsjw&feature=player_embedded"]YouTube - SPY VIDEO: 612s Successor[/ame]
the best part is this has been filmed from the GeS (Gestione Sportiva) building lot (44.534177, 10.860018 on Google Maps).
It's the only point from which you can see the section of the track going up to the bridge.
The street from that position and the entrance (44.532508,10.857636) is completely inside of Ferrari's properties, you must enter the track to take that street.
So in both cases, it was someone from the inse, I would say, it's an unofficially official video.
old school Ferrari is the way i go. never really liked newer Ferrari's.
