Carmagazine.co.uk has reported that Ferrari’s next new model will be none other than a Roadster version of the V12 powered 599. Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo said, “A lot of our clients are saying they want an open, 12-cylinder car with very sporty performance. At Pebble Beach, we will present this car.”
“This is a very unusual car and it will certainly surprise you,” Montezemolo said. “It’s only going to be available to a select number of clients who’ve been asking us for an open-top version of the 12-cylinder for quite some time now. We won’t be unveiling it at a show, though. Instead we’ll be organizing private presentations.”
When you think about it the Pebble Beach Concours is in August which means that Ferrari must already have a working prototype of the car.
Montezemolo also said, “It’s a car I like very much. As usual we will make it in low numbers for collectors. It’s beautiful, a car to enjoy at a particular time of life.”
The 2004 575 Superamerica was Ferrari’s last 12-cylinder convertible and utilized a pivoting flip-top glass roof, but there is no word as of yet if the new 599 Roadster will house the same system.
Ferrari also is working on a convertible edition of the 458 Italia, which is expected to break cover in early 2011.
At the moment, pricing and actual release date is not available for the Ferrari 599 Roadster.
