    I am very interested. My dealer will not take a deposit on a car that is not yet announced though

    Well, as far as I know, there will be a fixed roof version of the Portofino with different design. The super elegant 2+2 V12 is coming, where it's more focus on design rather than aero and performance. Rebodied retro looking 812? Never heard of, but would be a nice addition to the line up. Never been a fan of the 812s look hehe.

    Marcel Massini confirmed two versions of the Portofino, so I'll stick to that info. Also, my dealer confirmed it as well after a trip to Maranello a few weeks ago.

    Anyways. It seems like Ferrari is milking every single possibilities here, like they know they've got little time left to play with petrol engines. Not wrong in my opionion, I like cars and would like to see as many new and different F-cars as possible before everything is banned in Europe.

    With all these different versions and special series, will any be a limited numbered series? May be 812VS? Any inside source?

    No from what I'm hearing the 488's replacement will be an entirely new generational car. Like the 355 to 360, f430 to 458. Entirely new look.

    Ferrari is an independent 8 billion dollar company and 1 of if not the strongest brand in the world. McLaren and Lamborghini are total jokes in financial comparison please lets not get into this.

    They are actually #3 'strongest' to be exact. Not #1.

    Doesn't mean they make the best cars however, that's left to individual judgement.

    As soon as I saw, "Strongest" I knew they defined it in a subjective manner.

    Doesn't independent mean private as well...or are excluding the public shareholders in this 'independent' discussion? RACE is accountable to shareholders period.

    They are far from 'independent' IMHO.
