Replacement for Ferrari 612: Spy Pics etc...

Yes indeed.

But the location of the rear-hatch glass in this test mule looks like a hatchback.

That rear-window of the Granturismo test mule in your picture is soft plastic. You can tell it's not the real deal.

In another picture of the new 612 I saw, the rear-window is made of glass and is quite vertically angled with the gradient being no less than 75 degrees.

My first impression of the new 612 is not good. I hope it doesn't suffer the same fate as the current 612. Time will tell.

The GG50 was an officially-sanctioned concept/coach-built project done by Giorgetto Giugiaro to celebrate his firm's 50th anniversary. That's why it wears Ferrari badges. I think he kept the GG50 for himself.

Ferrari 612 successor will be privately shown on January 21, teased on invitation

Before Ferrari officially debuts its 612 Scaglietti replacement to the public, the automaker is holding a private event where a select few people will get to see the new car in its final, production-spec glory. An anonymous Autoblog reader sent us the invitation you see above, which loosely translated from Italian to English reads, "Get ready to jump on board... Ferrari invites you to discover an all-new Ferrari in preview." The invite also includes a nice teaser shot of the car's front quarter panel. The private unveiling appears to be an online-only viewing affair and will be held on Friday, January 21 at 12:00 CET, or 6:00 AM Eastern time here in the United States.

We've seen plenty of spy shots of the Ferrari 612 successor, and even though the final design has been nicely camouflaged with boxy cladding, it's no secret that the new car will be all sorts of sexy. The front end looks to be inspired by the 458 Italia, and the very classic shooting brake proportions are fitting for a grand tourer such as the 612. Oh, and did we mention that the car is rumored to have around 670 horsepower from a 6.3-liter V12? Our interest is indeed piqued.

Online-only viewing = print screen leaks.

Thank you Ferrari.
