Default Spy Shots: ’06 Ferrari 600 Imola

Ferrari is developing a successor to the current 575 Maranello, which has been on the market since 1996. Various prototypes are currently being tested in and around Ferrari's hometown, as can be seen on the photos.

The new vehicle, code-named F139 and designed by Pininfarina, sits on the shortened platform of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, which makes the next 575 M considerably bigger, providing a roomier passenger cabin and a larger luggage compartment.

The engine, based on the 5.75-liter V-12 from the Scaglietti, has been bored out to 6.0 liters and will deliver between 580 and 600 hp.

According to rumours, the name of the new model could be 600 Maranello or Imola, and it is expected to be released in 2006.

It doesn't look bad, judging from the pics alone, I'd say I'm not really feeling the front lights. I much prefer the Maranello in it's current form

The 550/575M is a timeless design.

The Ferrari Scaglatti is one ugly car. Period. The damn hood is too long, the sculpted sides are too retro, the rear is a mess, I HOPE the new 600 is not close to how that car looks. It is one ungainly car. They went to some 1 off concept for inspiration and well, should have went FORWARD instead of more retro crap.

Mainly the side-views of the black one
The 550/575 looks much better
I can't stand that name "Scag...........lietti" I know it's a person's name, but doesn't sound appealing.
