    ...the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti GTC according to some sources...
    Opinions on this one?

    Other than it strikes me as useless to equip a car like the 612 Scaglietti with a performance enhancing package?

    Possible, but they said it would be a real "crowd pleaser", and I think the GTC would hardly look different from the 612.

    My guesses:

    612 GTC
    F430 Challenge
    FXX

    Let's hope the BIG surprise will be a real crowd pleaser indeed... Like has been mentioned before already, the FXX would be great! :D

    After all, the news I've read that the 612 GTC would be the surprise could be false or just a rumour... with Ferrari you never know... :)
    But that the 612 GTC will be in Brussels is almost a fact!

    And yes, at first I was also thinking the GTC package on a 612 was a bit strange... but actually... why not? :) After all, it IS a high performance car...

    I was also hoping for something more exciting to be honest! :rolleyes:
    But if the whole range is displayed together with some nice girls to keep them clean (the cars!) then i'm more then happy!! :D ;)
    Although i did see almost the entire range of models today at Ferrari Antwerpen!! :D There was no 575 Superamerica though! But there was a 550 Barchetta! :)

    A GTC pack for the Scaglietti isn't that stupid in my eyes!!
    I'm sure there are clients who want to have 4 seats AND have a great handling, ceramic brakes,....
    It would be a perfect car: a GT for long distances to some track for example, then do a trackday without any problems or worries for the handling or brakes, and afterwards cruise home with the entire family (4 seats ;) )!

    Today i saw a grigio silverstone 612 Scaglietti next to a TDF 456GT! :) I said it before but the 612 is more beautifull IMHO!
    So if the 600 Imola (or whatever it will be called) is a bit smaller and has some aggressive touches, it's gonna be a real nice car i think! Ofcourse it will not be the 80's style Testarossa look! :rolleyes:

    Oops :) You already said it...

    It's not impossible to get access to the Ferrari stand you know :) I did it a few times in the past... Just asked very politely if I could see the cars a bit closer, be patient a bit and hope that the one at the gate is in a good mood :D
    It also helps if you bring a camera.

    Of, course, the VIP area at the back is a different matter... is that where you will be Jeroen?
