2013 Ferrari F620 GT

We're about five days away from when Ferrari will officially unveil the F620 GT, the front-engine/rear-drive V12-powered successor to its 599 GTB. As usual, the Internet can't wait.

An image of the F620 GT was published today on GTSpirit.com, who claims it was sent to them by a reader. The timing was fortuitous, as we also have an image of the F620 GT, supplied to us by sources who have seen the car in person. While not an official rendering of the F620 GT from Ferrari, it's the best look yet at what will be unveiled on February 29.

Our friends at eGarage.com were also nice enough to provide some specs, which come directly from Ferrari. The F620 GT's 6.3-liter V12 will produce 740 horsepower and 690 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful twelve-cylinder engine ever made by Ferrari. With a redline of 8,700 rpm, this powerplant will move the Italian grand tourer to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds and 100 mph in 8.3 seconds. It's also lighter, lower and shorter than the 599 it's replacing.

- THIS is the new 2013 Ferrari F620 GT, plus specs

Ferrari’s replacement for the 599 GTB, called the F620 GT, will make its official public debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show, but an observant reader of GTSpirit caught what appears to be a cell phone image of the car in transit.

We’ll have more details and images when Ferrari briefs the press next Wednesday, February 29th, but the shot gives a much clearer idea of what Ferrari’s new Grand Touring coupe will look like than earlier spy photographs or the pair of official teaser videos.

To be honest, the styling looks a bit busy to us. There are a lot of curves and angles, and not all of them appear to be living in harmony. The exaggerated character lines of the door, which run down from the front fender, don’t blend well into the oddly-oversized rear fender. To us, it looks like a back-alley interpretation of a Ferrari coupe.

That said, we suspect that its reported 740 horsepower will go a long way towards getting us beyond the car’s looks. Expect acceleration in the neighborhood of 3.0 seconds from 0-62 mph (100 km/h), and a top speed of around 211 mph (340 km/h).

WOW! Havent seen the arse yet, but the front / side profile easily make it the sexiest Ferrari in production.

Do we even know it F620GT is the actual name? Ferrari's notorious for keeping their car model names under wraps until they actually officially released. I thought 'F620 GT' is considered strongly rumored.

Front looks right. Can't wait to see that back.

 

[Centurion]

Like the 6-Series Gran Coupe this Ferrari will be a hot mamma in matte brown hues.

Indeed even those that were present on 22nd at reveal do not know how it is going to be called. As Ferrari decided to put this car in the 458 Italia category, I think it will jsut be called F620. Ferrari already have the California and the FF in the GT category so I do not think they'll yet call it a GT.

 

[K-A]

Wow. I still wish Ferrari would go back to a smoother and more timeless look instead of so heavy on the angular and almost Tron-Cartoon like sheetmetal carving, but it certainly looks pretty damn cool.

Are these pics real?

[NarutoRamen]

I like it. The only thing that is bugging me is the hatchback like rear, but I'll need to see the real pics for me to get a better idea.

 

[330CIZHP]

Gorgeous!

Can't this go to the spy pic thread? I rather wait for the official release - hate a release as significant as this being screwed by crappy leaks.

 

[martinbo]

I was already on it. Threads merged for obvious reasons. An official thread will be created when the release is official.

 

[HighestOfHigh]

Ok...This is confusing. The new thread was start because the photo is the actual car not a spy shot. Why is it back in this thread because Sunny was upset about it being a leak photo? We have started plenty of Offical new car threads like this.

What is the problem?

 

[Cashmere]

By actual, he was referring to an official press release picture. The one posted above is very grainy and obviously a sneaky pic snapped by someone at a private unveiling.

Yes HoH, I know we have started many 'official' threads in the past with crappy leaked pics. It would be nice if that stopped and we waited for actual official pics to start the official thread. I hate the impact of a new release of a highly anticipated car being screwed by crappy leaked pics and I doubt I am alone in feeling this way.

 

[martinbo]

All we have are renders at the moment. That's why we have threads like these: to keep the continuity until the real deal manifests. It's a nice tidy system that helps members of all levels keep abreast of where things are at.
