    Other than a bigger front grill, it doesnt seem like there were any major changes to the body design.

    Can't really tell anything, but the exhaust sounds cool.

    Sounds pretty good! At 1:38 doesn't it kind of sound a little GTO-ish when it's accelerating?

    Bob- Ferrari has been leaking photos of their cars well before the shows where they are officially introduced. Would expect the same thing for the F620 (?). They have already had private showings of the car and those who have seen it like it. I am very hopeful. Not that I could afford one, at any rate.

    Very nice video, I agree there are similarities with the ff but it is possible that as in the past they are simply using what parts they have available.

    I must say though, it does sound naughty !

    Talking to my Asian dealer he offered me a place at the preview in Maranello mid-Feb unfortunately I can't go but then there will be one in Singapore mid-May so will probably go to that.

    I do wonder though - I can't really see properly - but how does it breathe if it's wrapped up like that? Unless the cover's somewhat porous.

    I think it will share the FF's front fancy wheel drive gearbox -- perhaps as an option. I can't believe they went through all the work for that gearbox just for the FF. They must want to share it.

    I think its going to be purely RWD, All wheel drive seems very unlikely given the fact the 599 replacement will be more extreme than the FF, if Ferrari do go all wheel drive I will be surprised.

    Moving away from RWD will be a very bold step indeed but as you say it may be an option.

    LOL! I wrote that on my iphone. It should have been "fancy front wheel drive gearbox". Oops. I need reading glasses!
