Ferrari announce replacement dates for its supercars

The replacements for all three cars are currently under development, and Ferrari's CEO and managing director Amedeo Felisa revealed to CAR magazine as to when the replacements are expected to arrive.

The first car to be replaced is the 612 Scaglietti, which has been around since 2004. The V12-engined grand tourer has not been popular among enthusiasts and fans, and Ferrari is pushing forward with its replacement, which is due in 2012.

Around the same time, Ferrari will unveil its next great flagship supercar, to follow the line of the 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo. Ferrari has been dabbling and experimenting with hybrid motors and other forms of green technology, but the Enzo replacement will be powered by a traditional V12, or twin-turbo V8, engine.

Finally, the 599 GTB Fiorano's replacement will be expected around 2015, as the current model is only two years old. The two-seater GT was recently given a HGTE package to keep up with the likes of the Lamborghini Murcielago. The new model will be aimed squarely at the Murcielago's replacement.
