Ferrari will present the all-new 599 GTB to the press later today in Detroit. With 620 hp, it will be its most powerful V12-engined production car of all time.

Amedeo Felisa, Ferrari's Vice General Manager will make the announcement at the NAIAS, and the company describes the new car as "a concentration of Ferrari's most innovative and technologically advanced engineering solutions applied to a mid-front engined two-seater coup

Those are pretty classic Ferrari wheels. They've used a similar design on many of their past cars.

Looks like the offspring from a Panoz and Z4.

Looks like what hyundai did with the Tiberon, threw a bunch of design cues from various exotic cars together and called it a day. Looks weird.

Don't care for the pictures at all. Maybe it looks better in person. The 550 is a much better looking car, but no one can deny the performance increase.
