    Isn't the car at 8:45 (approx) a Portofino or has it been identified or discussed elsewhere ?

    could be a hybrid version. Would make sense to start electric engine with the versatile all day Portofino.

    Its clearly not a 812 derivative so maybe needs posting in the 488 section too - appears to be some sort of engine mule

    Usually if a car gets private showing at Pebble its full launch follows a few weeks later

    Sounds right.Given focus on open top Ferraris at PB this year my money would be on some sort of "private" reveal of Pista Aperta at PB followed by full launch at Frankfurt in Sept.
    As they don't have to do any more marketing to sell them all bit irrelevant anyway.

    Will be really interesting to find out how many 812 VS will be made when it is launched.If it is last unassisted V12 I would have thought demand would be off the scale !

    No Frankfurt this year hence PB sounds about right.

    Never been to Paris show so really not sure. PB makes sense and is a great place to launch the car. Also since I think Southeby's are auctioning a 250GTO seems apt :)

    Pista Aperta will probably be launched at Paris - Then next years Geneva we'll see the 488 Replacement

    812 Monza being mooted as name.I like it but not as much as MM.
    Knowing Ferrari I would be amazed if name had actually been chosen yet.

    So sound like I am amazed !
    812 Monza is the name.
    Car cannot be that far off if name is chosen.

    I think it would be an excellent time for a V12 roadster or aperta .. in the last years we had the barchetta then superamerica .. then the 599GTO , the the F12TDF... seem it would be an excellent time to do a V12 open car.. figure they have this folding hardtop down pretty good now and the 812 makes plenty of power... I thin an open V12 would be fantastic call it an LE....if you must...
