    According to www.caranddriver.com Ferrari will introduce a folding hardtop (like the California) for the 2011 model. It will have 635 HP and cost close to $400k.

    Wonder if they'll make a GTO version down the road.

    Jim, according to the article this car will have 635HP so it is between a regular 599 and a GTO.

    It might make it equal to the 599 with the extra weight - I could see it with the HGTE package. But not the full on GTO. That will be the last hoooorah for the 599.

    I hope this car will be as beautiful as its potential. They could get this car just right with the Cali top.

    You know something we don't? To be honest ... I hope they will not stretch it that far ;)

    I'm really curious to see how they incorporate the flying buttress into the folding hard-top design....

    What they quoted and what they will put out it are two different things.

    Nor sure why the would limit the run - unless they substantially up HP or make it a HGTE

    LDM has already stated it will be a limited model in the latest interview and it will go to select Ferrari owners.

    Maybe the 599 SuperAmerica!!! A sure sign that there are carcasses to shift at a premium before the new model in 2011

    I heard it will be named NART Spyder and will be limited to 100ex (75ex with soft top and 25 with ? top...)
    Also heard it will have GTO engine.
    One owner specced his and the price came out to 490k Euros.

    Anyone heard same?
