In both ways cars in the future are getting faster. I would personally like to see cars with a better power to weight ratio: they would be faster and more agile round a track.

Ferrari is currently working on the successor of the 599 GTB Fiorano, which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2012 next March.
Auto Express reports that the new two-seater GT, codenamed F152, will be more powerful and lighter than before. The engine and transmission will be based on those in the Ferrari FF. The design will be an evolution of the current 599, with some elements derived from the 458 Italia and FF.
As reported earlier, the replacement for the 599 GTB will will have adaptive dampers and retain its front-engine arrangement and will but will use aluminum alloys for its body structure. Carbon fiber will used in some body panels, ensuring a relative low weight.
This new GT will use a version of Ferrari’s 6.3 liter V12 which reportedly provides at least 700 horsepower, making it more powerful than the 599 GTO and the FF. The power will be transferred to the rear wheels via a seven-speed twin-clutch transmission with a F1-style electronic differential. These specifications would ensure a performance similar to its main competitor, the Lamborghini Aventador.
The new Ferrari is expected to go on sale in late 2012 and the price is set to increase from the 599s £ 212,000 to around £ 225,000 for the F152.

There are too many talks about one rendering which really has nothing to do with the actual car.
Spoke with one person today, yes plans are to show it in Geneva and it will be simply beautiful, as I was told, expect reaction similar to 458, kind of shock at first and then fallnig in love.

Nice to see you D55L. I think we all know its nothing but a render but it increases our anticipation for this car, which I'm sure will be spectacular. My focus was more on the technical details and performance. Will be interesting how Ferrari can manage to make a light rwd car driveable with front engine and 700+hp.
