<br /> Ferrari is reportedly currently working on the three V12 cars that will replace its comparable current offerings: the 612 Scaglietti, 599 GTB, and Enzo. The 612's follow-on will be the first one to arrive, likely in early 2012, and another mule has been spotted out and about. It still sports the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/#4">hood scoop</a> (bigger engine with more power, anyone?) and California-style <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/#8">stacked tailpipes</a>, and it looks like it <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/#6">might have a longer wheelbase</a> to boot.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1032956_spy-shots-first-test-mules-for-ferraris-612-scaglietti-successor">Rumor has it</a> that the new direct-injected V12 will be 40 percent less polluting and get 40 percent better gas mileage than the 5.7-liter V12 presently in use, even as it's expected to get a slight 7-horsepower bump to 540. The fuel economy increase would provide a very respectable 16 MPG - not bad for a car that ought to hustle to 60 MPH in about 4.5 seconds. Check out a host of new spy photos in our gallery below. In case you're curious, the sticker on the steering wheel boss which reads <font size="2" face="Arial"><em>"Betrieb nur mit geschlossener Motorhaube"</em> is an instruction telling drivers that the engine should only be started with the hood closed. </font><br /> <br /> <br /> <div class="postgallery"><p><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/">Spy Shots: Ferrari 612 Scaglietti replacement mule</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/2410230/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/612scag_spy_128001-copy_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/2410231/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/612scag_spy_128002-copy_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/2410237/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/612scag_spy_128009-copy_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/2410232/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/612scag_spy_128003-copy_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/spy-shots-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replacement-mule/2410233/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/11/612scag_spy_128004-copy_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /> [Image: CarPix]<p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/01/spy-shots-first-longer-wheelbase-ferrari-612-scaglietti-replace/">Spy Shots: First longer-wheelbase Ferrari 612 Scaglietti replacement spotted</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:14:00 EST.
