    Interesting article on future model line up in latest edition of Enzo.
    Having analysed capital markets presentation they say a new elegantly styled GT is coming as a mainstream production model.
    I am posting in V12 section as this seems most likely.
    Anyone heard anything ?

    Presumably this would be the Lusso replacement, which does not need to cover all the same bases as it does now with the Purosangue arriving

    I think that's right.My guess is a 2 seat V12 GT with a body designed more for looks than aero.
    Superfast is in "Sports" rather than GT category.

    Wouldn‘t such a car come to close to the 812 line? Then they could easily make the 812 line the new above 488 positioned mid-rear-engine model line.

    Could be.
    I envisaged this new model being the Ferrari equivalent of a DB11/Bentley Continental GT but who knows !

    More likely to go...

    Portofino 2+2
    488 V6 Hybrid
    Lusso V8 and V12 2wd, 4 seat GT coupe (not Sh. Brake)
    812 V12 (hybrid?) performance Coupe
    Mid V8 Hybrid super car
    Purosangue 4-seat 4x4

    The 812 line is traditional performance ferrari, the new mid V8 line could be more track time focused with more downforce.

    That "feels" about right to me.
    Add in Icona and the odd hypercar and you have a line up competing in every sector in which rivals offer product.Undoubtedly the sports cars will have run out Special Series as well.

    I would love this, I don't need track car levels of aero, I do need 2 seat front engine Ferrari to be beautiful.

    Rumours of this model seem to be appearing so thought I'd bump the thread.
    WHAT HAVE YOU HEARD ?

    Ok, so if they're going classic GT, then they HAVE to offer in in a gated manual, right? (praying;)). Ferrari should wisen up and do what Porsche did which is back peddle. First, Porsche eliminated manuals on the GT3 but when they brought it back the wait list for the cars tripled. I want a modern, "elegant", V12 with a manual....anyone.....Bueller.....anyone?

    I've heard about a two distinct projects of "big" front-engined models (other than Portofino's derivatives and FUV)

    I guess it might be the rumoured Portofino hard top but I was hoping it would have a V12 so Doug23's comment is encouraging.
    A manual option would be good as it sounds like the concept would be a real GT so encouraging a slightly more relaxed driving style.

    To be honest I hit Caps lock by mistake and was then too lazy to amend before posting.
    The British are not well known for their interrogation techniques but I had better stop this post now before I stray into national stereotyping.

    I'm more excited by the latter than by the former, but anyways it seems there are great things to come outta Maranello in 2019

    Sorry guys, I don't want to give misleading hopes.
    I've scarce informations, all I know is that there are some project codes undergoing development and those codes could be linked (with some uncertainity) to some clues regarding cars' layout.
    There's also tjhe possibility a new code isn't a brand new car but a derivative of a current one (like an Icona).

    It was more easy for Porsche since the flat six is the same basic engine, wich was already traditionaly connected to a manual trans.

    Ferrari V12's have'nt been connected to manual trans since the new 6.3 engine. The whole driveline is enginered as a single unit. I think Ferrari doesn't want to get into this, despite the huge potential success among purists

    Understood.
    Could the 2 projects be 812 Spider and 812 VS ?
    I think it unlikely we will see a manual again.Since Speciale I cannot imagine driving a modern Ferrari without paddles.

    Until now (Pista), special versions had the same code as standard versions + suffix (eg VS).
    Some weeks ago ferr9000 gave an hint that 812 Spider could have a project code unrelated to the F12/812 family (F152). It's also known that the Monza SPs have their own project code (F176).

    Running towards hybrid engines, I think it will be very unlikely a manual comeback.
