    That's how I see it too, although elements of the F60 behind the front wheels may well be included

    Take a look at F60 rear bumper, I think that makes sense with the treatment of lights.

    Interestingly, Chris Harris's latest review of F12tdf says that tdf will be the last of the normally aspirated V12. The replacement will be electric hybrid he says.

    Will the F12M achieve 800hp without some sort of electric hybridization?

    Do you think he knows something?

    That video was made quite a few months ago when speculation was that the F12M could possibly be some sort of hybrid. Since then it has pretty much been confirmed there will be no form of hybrid until the replacement in around 2020.

    I believe he was talking about the F12 replacement, not the major mid life whence it will still be an F12, albeit substantially modified.

    Could it perhaps also be that the F12m will be similar to the 458 Speciale?
    Ferrari's (Limited) swansong to the last naturally aspirated v12 before it's replacement has hybrid power?
    Appearing it as a regular model, but with a limited production run?

    Hello Tim, any chance for a 70th anniversary F12 based or f12m car other than the TM livery limited editions shown recently?

    Limited as in a very short production run. If the F12m becomes available in 2017, but it's replacement arrives in 2019; it will be a limited run.
    Not that I'm speculating with a purchase based on exclusivity.

    Yeah it looks like the air over bonnet and through the wing has been changed to pass air lower in the door. It also look larger which may give it a more aggressive look. You can defiantly see that the rear cluster is the shape of the new Lusso.

    I doubt the replacement will be 2019, more like 2021

    I think the lines of the void behind the front wheels tie into the intake on the rear fenders in front of rear wheels.

    This thread seems to have gone a bit quiet which is odd if "reveal" is imminent.
    Has anybody got any further information ?

    I don't have anything I can add but according to my dealer who was at the factory recently, the V12 production line is closed to visitors so they must now be building the first preproduction cars.

    I think that all are waiting the Finali Mondiali in Daytona. It is said that there will be a dealers gathering and the new model will be revealed (to them).

    If that really does happen, which was the original rumour, it is pretty obvious what the cars name will be.
