This is the first official sketches of what insiders say will be Ferrari's replacement for the four-seater 456 GT, due to hit the road early next year.

Strictly a 2+2, rumours suggest it will be called the 460M when it's unveiled in Detroit in January 2004. It will be powered by a detuned version of the Enzo's 6-litre V12.

Designed by Pininfarina, expect the car to come in well under 5 seconds 0-60 mph and top 200 mph.

The front-mounted engine should produce in excess of 550bhp.
