Im am very confused as to what ferrari is doing with its 12 cylinder line..... I thought that the 575 was getting replaced with the 612 scag. Then I hear about the new car that looks almost exactly like the 575 in raod and track with the words "575m replacement?!?!" above it.

So, does this mean the 612 is a separate car all on its own from the 575? or what ?

The 575M GTC is just a 575 with a handling pack. Its not really an all new car.

Not sure wether the 612 is supposed to be a 575 replacement, but I guess if they are still making the 575, they must be totally seperate models..

No, the Scaglietti is the 456GT replacement, not the 575's

The Scaglietti and 456 are 2+2's, and the 550/575 are just 2 seaters.

Usually a season is 10 episodes.. it was 9 only once because apparently there was not enough money.. and it takes a break.. there are two seasons every year: Spring and Autumn..

Not sure what "everything" encompasses, but i like the 575M interior more, and it's lower weight should help

Idd a season is normally 10 episodes + 1 Best Of episode. Only during series 3 they had only 9 episodes + 1 Best Of.
