It seems that Ferrari has created a mystery prototype.
After one publication speculated that it could possibly be the 458 Italia Spyder undergoing initial testing, it seems that Auto Express has a better answer; it is a 612 replacement.

Could this be some serious part sharing?
Anyone care to guess what motor is slotted underneath the mystery car's hood? The note does not have a distinct V8 or V12 sound, either!
