Hoho! No Imola! According to Luca Brasi over at eurocarblog, word's come down from Maranello that the new prancing horse falls one short from the predicted 600 moniker, with no geographically inspired name in sight. 620hp at 7,600 rpm, which is 105 up from the 575 that it replaces.

Then again, when mere pedestrian Corvettes are cresting the 500-pony mark, a Ferrari's gotta be something special, no? Plus, we haven't seen wheels on a 'Vette that invoke either Rush or the fallen angel Lucifer depending on where the wheel's at in its rotation. Objectivist or Satanic? Neil Peart, your car has arrived. Even if it ain't no barchetta, at least it's red.
