All sorts of exciting news is breaking with the upcoming Ferrari 620 GT debut, with a leaked photo coming out earlier in the week, and now specifications that have supposedly come directly from the Italian exotic automaker.

It appears that the F620 GT will be powered by a 6.3L V12 powerplant with 740-hp and 690 lb-ft of torque. If those specs hold true, it will be the most powerful 12-cylinder engine Ferrari has ever produced – FXX notwithstanding. Paired to a 8,700-rpm redline, it appears the 620 GT will propel to 60-mph in just 3.1 seconds, while its 100-mph sprint will be done in 8.3 seconds. Overall, the 620 GT will also be lighter and shorter than the outgoing 599 model.

The official unveiling of the Ferrari will happen on February 29th, looking as if Ferrari will take advantage of the Leap Year to do something special for their new model. Plus, look for live photos from the Geneva Motor Show, starting March 6th.

Revision: The Ferrari 620 GT will run 0-124 mph (200 km/h) in 8.5 seconds.

At the upcoming 2012 Geneva Motor Show, Ferrari will debut what the company claims to be the “most powerful Ferrari ever.” A statement which will be hard to backup, considering the Ferrari Enzo FXX makes 790 hp.

This newest offering will be the successor to the Ferrari 599 and is believed to be called the 620 GT, although a different name may be revealed at the official unveil in Geneva.

To speed up our hearts before the car is released, Ferrari is teasing us with about 20 seconds of footage of the new beast making its rounds on the track. Dressed in camouflage, the new supercar is still yet to be seen, but this video isn’t about looks, its all about sound. The exhaust note is enough to send a shiver up any Ferrari enthusiasts spine.

Watch the video after the jump, but more importantly listen to the fine tuned engine of the apparent, “most powerful Ferrari ever.”

The successor of the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is now rumored to make its official debut on February 22nd, 2012 – ahead of the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It will supposedly follow a dealer and client presentation that is happening the day before.

With the new rumor comes as a new spy photo has hit the net. Allegedly of the rear end of the new 620 GT,  it appears to be a prototype, rather than a production model.

When it does arrive, the 620 GT will be powered by a 6.3L V12 with 700-hp with a seven-speed, dual-clutch transmission.

The new supposed reveal date is just a few days away, so we’ll just hang tight to see what surfaces. Until then, see AutoGuide’s complete 2012 Geneva Motor Show preview here.

Ferrari has a new mystery super car to drop on us at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show. And judging by comments made by Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo, it should be a monster.

“We now have a complete range of models which will be joined in a few days time at the Geneva Show by a new 12-cylinder. A revolutionary new car that delivers extreme performance and unprecedented power output,” said Montezemolo in a press release.

This newest Ferrari offering the chairman is speaking of could be the F620, which is the successor to the 599. Another possibility is the Ferrari F70, which will be the newest iteration of the Enzo (engine shown above). Adding to the excitement, the CEO of Ferrari, Amadeo Felisa, recently revealed that the F70 could debut as a hybrid, with a combined electric, gas power rating of over 900 hp.

Whatever the new car is, it will undoubtedly be an attention grabbing high horsepower beauty.

Ferrari‘s F620, which will succeed the 599 GTB Fiorano, is set to debut March 6 at the press preview for the 2012 Geneva Auto Show.

As we reported previously, the car will have the same 6.2-liter V12 engine as the recent Ferrari FF, though it will produce 700 horsepower, significantly more than the four-seat FF.

German AutoBild released an artist rendering of what they think the car will look like. It seems they are heavily speculating that the F620 will take styling cues from the FF, featuring the same smiling grille and low, sweeping nose.

We’ll be in Geneva snapping photos and racing to post them, but for now you can look at our spy photos and imagine Ferrari’s next grand tourer for yourself.

Anticipation for the new Ferrari F620, successor to the 599, is mounting again thanks to a new YouTube video offering an early look at the veiled supercar.

If you haven’t been keeping up to speed, no pun intended, with the numbers surrounding this Italian road demon, revel in this: it’s powered by the FF’s 6.3-liter V12, pumping out more than 700 ponies. Though we can’t comment on exactly what the F620 is going to look like, it’s evident that the basic body characteristics will be the same as the 599 it will replace.

Even draped in black cloth meant to mask specific traits, it resembles a sprinter about to launch on a track. To watch some footage of the F620 out cruising click here. The video isn’t particularly inspirational, but it’s better than still photos. You also get to hear a healthy dose of the exhaust note, which is a scintillating experience for any fanboy.

We’ll bring you the full details during our coverage of the 2012 Geneva Auto Show starting March 6. And check out our spy pics below.
