    Thanks for the confirmation, puts us all out of our misery, - now we can get excited and start figuring out the best colours for such a complex shape. Dark to hide some of the busy rear detail or light to highlight all the complex forms?

    Siverstone works with all Ferrari Cars.

    I think Grigio Scuro with black wheels can really work but It's not a color for everybody.

    CF...

    CF everywhere!

    The car will look stunning in the spec you're considering.

    I agree having seen the GF La F, only other colour I considered was Grio Silverstone Opaco but whilst it would be very stealth, possibly all that detail would be lost?

    If we accept that the car as pictured is pretty much the car, IMHO it looks very race so deserving of a GTO or LM moniker. iIs it a step too far to think there might be some sort of racing future planned as part of a bigger picture.

    Hello Elipinski,

    Just a question if I may ask, you mentioned "no GTO name" because it wasn't visible on the car, or this is clear it won't be called GTO.

    Gtspirit says it will be GTO, well they were sure the Speciale was called "MonteCarlo"... Therefore I am not sure the source is reliable.

    Thanks.

    Hi, i dont Know, but all The ferrari People i spoke to definitely said, that it wont be called gto, nevertheless they refer to it as gto, to abbreviate explanation of what The car is in comparison to The Standard f12 ( analogy 599 - gto); i did Not say it wont be called gto since it did Not have a Badge on it, but repeated what The People of ferrari responsible For The Development of The f12 se told me. best e

    Let's wait and see on making too many judgements.

    For names how about this idea: harken back to the 250 days and use cylinder capacity and the suffix LM. I believe you'd get 6262 CC (F140FC motor from the F12- perhaps this cars spec will be different this affecting the math?) / 12 cylinders = 521.83333 = "522 LM" as a name suggestion / possibility.

    Just throwing out some ideas.

    Is Nero Stellatio (sorry is spelling is off) similar to Nero Setoso?

    To chime on the name speculation; Ferrari might not even have decided upon a name yet. The final call could be taken just weeks or even days before the public unveil.

    No doubt. Just throwing an idea that crossed my mind.

    Lets face it, they can name it whatever they want and it won't affect the desire for the car one bit.

    Seems curious... There are a lot of documents to print, marketing objects or even car parts sporting that Moniker...

    It seems impossible to decide on such a short notice...
