New test mule could be a successor to the current 612 Scaglietti

More spy pics have emerged of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti mule, likely for a 612 successor model.

Not much is known about whatever new creation is being tested here but given that that bulge is still on the hood, the model is likely still years away from making it to market, which is why we have it pegged as a 2012 612 Scaglietti.

The bulge suggests the model is still in the early phases of testing, as Ferrari still do not have a body to fit properly to the engine. Previous speculation has Ferrari developing a hybrid system or a new V12 with a new twin-turbo system. Or it could just be Fiat's MultiAir system temporarily fitted to this mule in order to see how much performance enhancement can be had from that.

Continuing the speculation with these photos, it seems the dimensions of the front end are strangely stretched from the standard 612. The lengthened front end and larger wheel arches, which our spy photographers noticed on the last batch of pics, suggest a coming all-wheel drive system too?

It's a new Ferrari. That's what it is.

Interesting how it has different rims and the quad exhausts from the side like the california and a sqaure dome on the bonnet

Agreed, if they've developed the exhaust outlets (fakes on the Cali), it must be closer than 2012. If they do take till 2012 though, I have a feeling they'll make it a four door to keep up with the trend that's building and to differentiate it further from their existing range of 2-doors. I'm guessing they'll also offer it with a choice of V8 or V12 - I don't think Ferrari's ever offered an engine choice. I'd like to see that.
