Ferrari’s flagship grand tourer is due for an update. The F12 Berlinetta replacement- dubbed the F12 M is currently in its final phase of development. Soon, we will see more prototypes of the next Ferrari F12 but for now checkout this video of a heavily camouflaged F12 Berlinetta replacement which was spotted in Maranello.

The next Ferrari F12 will retain its naturally aspirated V12 engine, contrary to previous rumors of the F12 going turbocharged. Those rumors were laid to rest when Ferrari confirmed that the replacement model will stick to its naturally aspirated engine. Moreover, initially a hybrid powertrain was also being considered.
