The replacement for the 456GT, Ferrari's new 612 Scaglietti, is perhaps not quite as beautiful as the 456, and there are a few question marks over its proportions, but it is a striking car, nonetheless.
Hand-stitched leather and aluminium trim the cabin which, like its predecessor's, will seat four. As long as those in the back aren't too leggy. Sorry Jodie and Jemma, you'll have to take the bus. Or, more likely, the Bentley.
Like its predecessor, the Scaglietti is powered by a V12 engine. Mounted far back in that long snout for optimum weight distribution, it produces a mighty 540bhp.
Drive is to the rear wheels, of course, and in 80% of cases it will be via the Formula One paddle-shift system. The remainder of buyers will opt for a conventional six-speed manual transmission.
Whichever system is fitted, this car shifts with indecent rapidity: 0-62mph takes just 4.2 seconds and top speed is 199mph.
Despite a remarkably comfortable ride and lightweight steering, the 612 handles every bit as well as a Ferrari should.
It's a big car and ultimately not as nimble or involving as a 360 Modena, yet it is still an experience to be savoured
