The October 2008, there was another of the Motor Show emblematic of Europe: Paris. Referring to this, Luca di Montemozolo, president of Ferrari, said in the last Geneva Motor Show that the Italian brand in the auto industry surprised with the presentation of a new model. And was it that picked up in Italy, one of the circuits that the company owns.

For the size and the need to complete the range of models, it is likely that the 430 GT California or Dino (unofficial names, although hopefully not the latter) is the cheapest of the Ferrari. Also to their size and based on the type of mark, we suspect that the car could accommodate a V8 engine, the same type as used Maserati GranTurismo for their models and Quattroporte and Ferrari F430.

The car seems to have a retro feel (it has all the style of Daytona and the car with retractable headlights), but it could be modified when the final presentation.

The car will be officially presented at the test day that some Formula 1 teams held at the Valencia circuit in Cheste, Spain on February 1, 2011, but we can go see the first official images (of fact has been published in the official team site on the internet Mercedes GP) of the car that will use this season to try to take the crown for Sebastian Vettel, the reigning world champion in the category.

At first glance, few differences are not displaying the Mercedes W02 GP from the model that came to court in 2010, spoke of the W01. The changes, beyond the mandatory regulatory changes were more than necessary given the poor performance and lack of competitiveness displayed by a car that never lived up to the Ferrari, Red Bull, McLaren, and (in some passages World 2010) of the Renault. The W01 was born evil and even in early winter tests Ross Brawn and company realized the poverty of the new competitive Silver Arrow, which could not be remedied over the course of the season.

Crazy people have tried from a beautiful Ferrari we have seen long and uneven, but this, ladies and gentlemen, it is definitely different! It is totally official this time we can spy on and we can see a beautiful recreation to be realizing how it is.
This is nothing less than a Ferrari 612 families or, to put it more acceptable and appropriate, a Ferrari 612 Shooting Brake (in short: a car with family-style body and three-door).
It is neither the first nor the last time we see an attempt of this kind by Ferrari. In fact the Italian brand has been responsible for shaping some special units of different countries in the world, objects of desire and unique specimens of its kind. But as we said, this is another story. The future, apparently according to this photograph as a spy and the recreation that we provide, gives us the always welcome presence of a Ferrari 612 shooting brake production, which will not be insignificant. And is there the possibility of seeing this production line model, wherein the novelty and the fact that so excited.

Now, with so much emotion, we must leave some things clear to avoid unwanted confusion hereafter. We will have to separate the wheat from the chaff and know that the Ferrari 612 shooting brake we are talking about in this paper and the F151 model (to be successor to the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti), are two different, very different. If we talk about the first of two, say, to be presented initially as a concept car way to go properly by testing acceptance among a very demanding audience, while the second model will be entering the production line almost immediately. Now that you made the clarification we will tell the two models in question in her womb a V12 engine and will be part of the exclusive gallery of the Gran Turismo of the legendary Italian house Maranello.
