Ferrari to Unveil Its Latest V12 Supercar @ Geneva
Ferrari has confirmed plans to unveil an "extreme" V12 sports car at the Geneva Motor Show.
Likely the 620 GT, Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo hinted it will be "a revolutionary new car that delivers extreme performance and unprecedented power output." That's a little vague, but previous reports have suggested the car will feature a 6.3-liter V12 engine with approximately 710 PS (522 kW / 700 hp). It will likely be connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission which sends power to the rear wheels through an electronically locking rear differential.
Ferrari also announced they sold 7,195 cars last year which enabled them to have record revenues of €2.251 ($2.96) billion with a net profit of €209 ($275) million.
(I wonder if the $275MM NP figure includes the operational cost of the F1 team. This alone is ~200MM a year.)

Adrian Newey and his Red Bulls have been running this technology since 2009. It worse than a summer day in Pamplona,,, where everyone is trying to run from the bulls. Run from,, chase,, euphemistically, it is all of the same light. And since the double defusers will be deregulated for the 2012 season this has everyone scrambling to follow suit or at least come close.
Flattery is the purest form of compliment.
Superiority at its finest!

The front end will probably be the same. That seems to be the family grill and front end they're using lately for all their GT cars (FF, Cali, 599, 612)
