Will there be a F12 "HGTE" Announced at Frankfurt in September?

VS is only a working name - the full formal working name is F152 VS, like the Speciale A was F142 VS (also presented as V8 LE).

 

My point is that they are maximizing LOnG term profits rather than just short term. They are CERTAINLY leaving money on the table as evidenced by resale prices of their cars in the first few years. They don't reap those rewards directly but maintain scarcity which supports their pricing power over time.

 

It is an F12 with a "Virtual Short Wheel Base"

 

Ferrari showes a F12 with a "Virtual Short Wheel Base" at the moment, it looks fantastic, see also: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/ferrari-discussion-not-model-specific-sponsored-algar-ferrari/490908-ferrari-new-limited-series-new-ferrari.html

 

....what does virtual short wheel base mean?

 

Not a real SWB, "Only" virtual, it looks as...

 

Relative to rear-wheel steering?

 

So, 4WS...

That'd be pretty cool

And could address the critisism of it being too twitchy at high speeds by simulating a longer wheelbase

 

you mean by the look of it, it seems a SWB of a non-limited edition possibly FF or F12?

or, you mean it has some features that will at least make it feel like it is SWB of FF or F12 like rear steering?

 

Both, and They called It so. Looks really good

 

Yes.

 

It may be only me but frankly I don't have a clue what this car is-Virtual SWB???

 

He's referring to RWS.

 

It means Ferrari has caught up to 1980s Honda

 

Hilarious

They sure have the most creative way of marketing aws though. They'll do anything to remind of their own past but guess that's what makes their current cars so desirable and unlike any McLaren or Nissan alike

 

Already posted at the beginning of the month - already about 400 posts ago !

 

Good for you

Another source mentioning GTO...

 

Yes, the lazy mans option to refer to it as such. They also refer to HY-KERS on the car and we know that is not the case so regretfully not a very well informed source, we know more here!

 

So I'm quite confused now. Is this "SWB" the limited-edition F12 that we are carving for or is it a separate project?

 

Does anyone know if there is any type of newer F12 being showcased at the Frankfurt Autoshow? Do we know anything concrete?

 

Probably earlier ones outside Europe but definitely an invitation only viewing in Maranello on 1st September to see the car. Invited guests will be expected to spec their car during the visit. An invite means you're buying!
