Default The new 575M to be announced...

A new version of the 575M will be introduced at the upcoming Geneva motorshow. It will be based on the 575 GTC. Imagine: a 575 in the same style as the 360 Challenge Stradale... I like it!

Now that is good news! I only fear for one thing: that it'll have an F1 gearbox...

Completely agree...why don't they put in all the cars the manual gearbox as an option?

Because Ferrari is the king of F1, and their technology is best, and if you can use it on the f2003, then you can use it in a 575M.

If i'm not mistaken, i think the new 575M stands for the 575 Modificato, not maranello. There's not a lot of changes, except for a new badge in the rear, some new lips and fins, and a new aerodynamic underbody package. it was released a month or so ago. the new badge looks crappy btw. It's 575M in bold and it's in the center of the boot. I saw it on the Ferrari Owners webpage.
