Ferrari 599 successor teased in Internet video

Thu, 23 Feb 2012

Ferrari is following the new SRT Viper playbook by leaking out bits and pieces of its 599 successor on various Internet pages. The darkened photo shown comes from Ferrari.com, while the video was released at the company's media site.

Not much information has been shared about the car. But what we do know is that it will be a 12-cylinder grand-touring vehicle, it will be up from the 599's power rating of 612 hp and it will be revealed in full on leap day, Feb. 29. Rumors say that the car will be called the F620 GT.

The first teaser video shows snippets of the car lapping the Fiorano circuit in Italy. We get a glimpse at its well-camouflaged body, a bit of the interior and we get to listen to that 12-cylinder engine hum. Thursday's video shows the manufacture of the car, with robotic arms moving around, block sanding and welding. We get to see a bit more of the body shape in unpainted metal.

Come back to autoweek.com on Feb. 29 for the full reveal.
