Ferrari launched its latest production vehicle at the 2006 Geneva Auto Show, the 599 GTB Fiorano. While the 612 was the target of a lot of design criticism, the replacement for the 575 Maranello is sleeker and has more balanced proportions. The newest horse in Ferrari’s stable makes copious use of aluminum, which keeps weight down and gives it a rigid body structure.
The Fiorano is powered by a 6.0 liter V12 derived from the Enzo supercar. The engine pumps out 620 horsepower and 448 lb-ft of torque through its rear wheels—Ferrari’s most powerful V12 of all time. Front and rear tire sizes are 19 and 20 inches, respectively, and the car will feature Ferrari’s full compliment of technological driving aids. 
Penned by Pininfarina, it is the latest in the line of front-engine V12 berlinettas that began with the 250 GT.
Expect a top speed of 190-ish, based on my estimates, and figure on pricing in the $300k range. Some of the design elements look somewhat Corvette-ish (or does the Vette emulate Maranello?), but the design is stunning.
