Ferrari has chosen the 29th of February 2012 as the date to present the new F620, apparently the most powerful Ferrari ever made, which will replace the 599 GTB Fiorano. Insiders have confirmed that it will be the most extreme V12 vehicle we have seen so far and rumour has it that the 6.3 V12 already used in the FF has been modified in such way that the Ferrari F620 will be able to deliver an astonishing 740 HP, while the 80% of the maximum torque will be already available at 2.500 rpm.

According to unofficial sources, the F620’s maximum speed will be of more than 340 km/h, it will sprint from 0-100 km/h in only 3.1 sec and from 0-200 in 8.5 sec. Its overhall weight will be of 1.525 kg, which means 165 kg less than the 599 GTB. But to find out exactly how accurate these rumours are, we just have to sit back and wait until the official technical specs are released. In the meanwhile, let’s enjoy this teaser.

Here are the very first spy shots of what will become Ferrari 599 GTB’s successor, a new Ferrari GT currently codenamed F152. At the moment there is not even a confirmation about the name of the model, although the name F620 has been rumored several times.

This new Ferrari GT will maintain the front mounted engine and should be using a 6.3-liter V12 unit delivering more than 700 hp. In this case, it will be more powerful than both the FF and the 599 GTO and - especially - more powerful than the Lamborghini Aventador. Power will be delivered to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with a F1 style electronic differential.

The pictured mule is very heavily disguised, so there is not much we can see of the bodywork design, but it is expected to be an evolution of the 599 style, possibly with some details lifted from the 458 Italia and the FF. The chassis should make large use of aluminum parts, a move that would make this new model way lighter than the car it will replace. We just can’t wait to see how this machine will shape up, but for now we can just imagine how it would look like with those heavy cloths off. The new Ferrari GT is expected to be unveiled at the next Geneva Motor Show, in March 2012, and then go on sale in late 2012.
