I agree. The Shooting Brake is back and here to stay.

Those sketches are very, very close to what I've seen. As in, whoever drew them has seen it.

The delay, as I'm told, is due to styling tweaks on the rear end.

 

How very unfortunate...

 

if thats what it actually looks like ill never sell my 612

 

Michael . . . I don't know how you do it. You make chicken s--- look like filet mignon.

Not wild about the car, but your designs are, as usual, beautiful..

Now, will somebody please tell me what a Shooting Brake is. I know the history and I know the cars and I know the Breadvan. But I'd like to understand shooting brake.

Do speculation pictures ever look like the real deal? Nope.

 

Reminds me of a stretch M Coupe. Can't say I'm a fan.

 

Learn something every day.

 

There you go, fixed it for you.

 

Unfortunately, authentic(ish) design sketches usually look better than the real item... Hence the issue, because, let's face it - that looks like a hound.

 

I am looking forward to the new design and hope some more information is posted soon.

 

Shooting Brake is from the days when normal cars were a biot higher in the ground clearance, 20-30-ies,, and these cars were used to go hunting, in the fields. Therefore, a number of passengers were carried, and the brakes were applied for the point in time to make the shooting.

 

These sketches show a lot of resemblance with following spyshots: http://www.1001ch.com/nouvelle-ferrari-612-spyshot/

 

looks like 458 style headlights. thats too bad.

 

So let me get this straight.

The 612 Scaglietti replacement is an AWD shooting brake.

Is this confirmed?

I'm not that lucky.

 

Yes,this is the sketches.

 

So I understand the customer previews start next week
Any one going in the near future?

 

Interesting...

 

Ya, each dealer is taking some of its customers for the 151 to maranello for a car preview.

I am supposed to go, if my dealer gives me the information on time. Will keep you posted.

 

Here is something I found:

Seems the shooting brake ideas are not too far off.

 

Invited to go on 6th, but can't
You?

 

Sounds good.

 

I believe we are coming to a time we have never seen in regards to buying a great Ferrari - with the combination of poor economic times and the intro of new models( 612 & 458) there will be unbelievable deals this spring and summer - Suds are already available @$200 plus or minus. Anybody that has really driven one knows how awesome they are and where will the price be by summer. The 612 can already be had for less then $150,00 and the new one is not even out yet. Can you imagine getting one for a little over $100,00 - a world class V12!! Not good news for some but great unprecedented times for a new buyer - I think there will be opportunities we have never seen befrore
