Low-resolution images leaked from a private configurator have given us the best look yet at the upcoming Ferrari F12 GTO.
Designed as a homage to the 250 GTO built in the early 1960s, the F12 GTO will be powered by an evolution of the F12berlinetta‘s 6.3-liter V12 engine tuned to make about 800 horsepower, 70 more than stock. Interestingly, the naturally-aspirated twelve will reportedly work jointly with a hybrid system dubbed HY-KERS adapted from the LaFerrari.
The leaked images show the GTO looks much more aggressive than the Berlinetta on which it’s based thanks to a new front bumper with an oval grille that pays a discreet homage to the 250 GTO, two vents in the hood and heritage-laced air vents integrated into the rear quarter panels. However, the pictures come from a configurator so the production model might look a little bit different.
Ferrari has been keeping its lips tightly sealed about its next special edition model, but we suspect the F12 GTO will make its public debut this September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. If our assumption is correct, a full set of details about the GTO will emerge in early September.
Production will be limited to just 650 examples worldwide, and expect the coupe to carry a large premium over the nearly $320,000 F12berlinetta.
