Certainly, a supercar have to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Ferrari. But, I am not sure if it would appear exactly in 2007, perhaps a little before or a little after.

What about a Ferrari F60 in 2007 for the 60th anniversary of Ferrari? Do you guys think it will happen?

If VW has really bought Ferrari as was inferred by Montezomola in a recent statement, Ferrari will be able to bring out new models much quicker than before. Maybe they will bring back the "peoples Ferrari" a/k/a DINO.

Today's Autocar Magazine (in UK) is reporting that after the 612 will be an updated 360, with more power and cosmetic changes. In Early 2006 will come an all new 575 replacement, front-mid engined like the 612. Late 2006 early 2007 an all new 360 with an engine based around the V8 in the Maserati 4200 but with a flat plane crank. Some time after that comes an Enzo replacement, if Ferrari can top the Enzo that is.

It will be the replacement of the 456 and it will have some of its styling after the 250GTO and it will have the Enzo's steering wheel. I saw "pictures" of the car already.

The 550 was the design of Ferraris current Pres who loved the Berlinetta of the 50s & 60s, if he retires Ferrari may go back to a Testarossa type car instead of another front engine Berlinetta

I've read somewhere that Ferrari's new marketing strategy is to introduce at least one new model each year. 2002 was the 575 and 2003 is the 360 Challenge Stradale (the Enzo is not considered part of this marketing strategy as it is a highly specialized, limited edition model). 2004 will be the 612 Scaglietti. My guess is that 2005 will be the replacement for the 575 and that 2006 will be the replacement for the 360 Challenge Stradale. My thinking is that the replacement for the "maranello" will be before the replacement for the "Modena" due to:

1. The Challenge Stradale (360) was just released and the Modenas have been a great success in terms of sales.

2. The 575 maranello will have been in production for 3 years, going on its 4th by 1995.

3. The 575 Maranello replacement should have a higher speed-to-market priority over the 360 Modenas due to the competitors' recent and upcoming introductions of high end super/exotic cars.

It has also been talked about that the Maranello replacement's engine will be based on the Enzo's 6 liter unit, possibly detuned slightly to have an output of approx. 600 to 620 horsepower. I wouldn't be surprised that the overal product strategy (Maranello replacement) will be based on increased power and reduced weight through the added use of aluminum.

Many people said that the 550 replacement would be presented in 2004 and the 360 replacement in 2005. But, for the moment I have seen no spyshots of new Ferrari. And 2004 seem to be early...

Since the 550 came out before the 360 i d guess that the 575 will be replaced before the 360. although, there seems to be more talk about a 360 replacement rather than a 550 replacement.

Already vaguely discussed in another thread called "Modena CS sold out".
My take (speculation) is that the 612 is the only novelty we'll see in 2004, and will be followed by a Modena replacement early 2005
Not sure if the 575 replacement will come before or after.

I'm wondering what will be the next factory car ? The new "Maranello" or "Modena" ?

What do you think guys ?
