It’s not unusual to see Ferrari prototypes rolling around the hills of Maranello as the Italian city is home to the supercar manufacturer’s factory, but every now and then something very unusual crops up and grabs our attention. In this case, a mysterious prototype was captured on film just a few days ago in Maranello, suggesting that a new Ferrari model is taking shape. The prototype appears to be for a new front-engined GT, which suggests that it could be the replacement for either the 599 GTB Fiorano or 612 Scaglietti.

It's a good thing January Jones (allegedly) dodged that (alleged) DUI a couple of weeks ago.
