Ferrari is expected to debut its replacement for the 612 Scaglietti at the Geneva Auto Show in March. What that car will look like has now been made a lot clearer thanks to several photos taken by a FerrariChat forum member. Or has it?

The poster, tx246, also provides some interesting information about the vehicle. Thought to be a wagon, or a hatch, or even a ‘shooting brake’ design, that apparently might not be the case. While the rear tarp certainly suggests such a shape, the photographer says that the rear tarp was being help up by pegs and that it inflated at speed and then deflated when at a stop – a trick by Ferrari to hide the true shape of the next F car.

According to recent reports, the 612-successor will be powered by a 6.3-liter V12 with 670-hp and could get an AWD hybrid system
