Doesn't show much but now we know it's def coming. Looks like it will have 458 styling. Anyway, rumoured be called F70 and will have 6.2 V12 from the new F12. 790bhp + 120bhp KERS and weigh around 1200kg. Should see it next March.

Just playing devil's advocate here - as it is so camouflaged, what makes them think that this particular vehicle is the Enzo successor over something like a California replacement?

Looks somewhat like a breadvan.

790BHP and kers plus only 1200kg? Anything about the MPG already?

@King of Jericho. Looking at the pics I 'd say it 's a mid engine car , the 458 won't be replaced or modified the next few years, the F12 just came out, the Cali isn't mid engined. So probably the Enzo successor.

It would take a truly gifted designer to make it uglier than the Enzo/FXX.

Hopefully the California isn't replaced and they just stop making it.

Oh come on, nothing a few more fake exhaust tips and a slightly more ungainly folding hardtop can't fix!

Looks more like an F355 than a 458 But yes, that is the Enzo replacement undergoing testing.

Thats the new F70, its going to have a brand new 6.3l engine V12 from the F12 berlinetta, and will make the world premiere probably in Geneva Salon (march 2013).

Cliff notes:

- now configured for mid-rear V12 engine.
- lower centre of gravity
- 40% lower emissions
- 7 speed DCT

Skip to 20 secs in the video. Is that a generic car diagram or does it preview new F70?
