new Ferrari 599?

[gbg]

Last week I was in South Africa, and when visiting the Cape of the Good Hope I came across this Ferrari:

I´ve got some more pics of it... is this the new 599? looks akward btw

Actually there was another ferrari just beside it, this time a 612 full of what seemed to be some testing equipments

I´ll put some more pics in a while

cheers

WOW :shock: that's an unique spotting !! I don't know if it's a 599, haven't have a good look at the model yet, but I guess it is. congrats gbg

Wow! Amazing sighting! :shock:

[racer_f50]

the rear wheels are the same hideous things on the 599's press shots, so I guess that could be one of the test mules?

definitely a unique sighting, though 8)

wow, nice catch!

Definitely looks like a heavily camoflauged 599 test mule..

[TT]

Yup, looking like the mules :shock: Brillant sighting! I wonder if they were down there to shoot the official pics too, but in this case no need to go around with a test mule afterall!

I hope they have good security - South Africa is the car theft capital of the world - and even though the chance of being able to fence a mule car is slim to none, the local car theft gangs will simply steal it because it belongs to someone else.. ;)

they didn't manage to get their hands on the press release of the McMerc a few years ago :wink:

Uhm, I guess no magazine would pay half a buck for the picture sadly.. too late now if it's really the 599.. but I am wondering why a heavily disguised test mule now that the car was presented :hmm:

[MC12]

Nice spotting, not sure if it is the new 599 looks a bit like it, not sure :?

No but one of the local drivers did manage to smash into one :)

Well yes, première at Geneva of course, but the car will be secretly presented to Ferrari owners around Europe before the motorshow ;)

And you might be right.. it's true that there are no official press pics in the wild yet :bah: but considering how most manufacturers deal with testing mules, testing the last details with just a few covers here and there, it is weird to see the 599 still camoed like if nobody knew they are developping it :D

looks like a crashed scaglietti to me lol!

[gbg]

dumbass... i forgot to take pics of the interior :cry:


all i can remember is that the dash looked pretty much like the one in the 612 (i don´t remember of seeing any difference at all, actually)

btw this is the 612:
