Report from Italy: Faster than an Enzo but smaller than a 599. The car has a lower overall height. There is a new braking system with shutters in the front of the car that open and close when the brakes heat up. Pictures in one week.
Can somebody confirm that it will be one airvent on the side? (rather then 2 like ferrarithijs his sketch)
My local dealer has 5 orders in. I was asking about the 620, and the salesman I've been acquainted with for quite some time said it's basically a modified 599. I took that as if it would be along the lines of the F430 being a modified 360, but I'm not sure. I thought it was supposed to be smaller than the 599, suggesting an all new, smaller platform (or a shrunken FF platform at least).
I think his dealership probably misunderstood him by saying there are 5 Alonso ed. 599 ordered and coming in perhaps? And the 599 replacement would be an all new car with new 6.3L DI V12..... 700~740hp(rumor) and it will be leaning towards more of a sporting character as to the old 599 Grand Tourer handling characteristic. Tricked out DCT 7-spd would be expected...and perhaps no stick shift option for the first time as well? Anyways, we'll find out soon enough in a few days
I am going to be at the Factory Atelier on Feb 29 this year.Hopefully I can get a look at the new car during the afternoon factory tour
Same way they've been doing it for years, electronic traction control. Ever since we broke the 300hp barrier, without traction control or AWD, flooring it will spin the wheels. You ever floor a 458 Italia with traction control off?
so am I wrong, today is the 22nd and I thought certain clientele were viewing the car in Maranello this evening.......no insight, thoughts, secret cell phone pics?!
