Onlookers claim the car is closer in size to the 612 Scaglietti rather than the F430, which coincides with previous reports claiming the car will be a genuine 2+2 and will also sport a folding hard topped roof designed and assembled by Pininfarina.
Other speculated details include a 500hp 4.7L powerplant, direct-injection technology, and even a new dual-clutch gearbox. The new 2+2 GT will almost certainly forgo the rumored ‘Dino’ title and will likely be called the GT California instead – a name that Ferrari has already registered.
The car is scheduled to make its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October. Below is a video of the car testing at Ferrari's test track in Fiorano.

so does that mean this could be a 612 replacement ? the 612 although not a traditionally styled ferrari with its more mainstream looks was a fabulous GT, but it has now been passed by the simply goreous and much better/faster 599.....
who knows...but until we get solid info on the engine size we wont know where it will slot into the ferrari lineup

I doubt this will replace 612, isn't this meant to be a V8 only? 612 is kind of like the V12 flagship. I thought there was suggestions that 612 will recieve a midlife update with the engine from 599, or may be i was just dreaming haha
