Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore reports today that the new Ferrari 575 M Maranello replacement will be dubbed the 599 GTB when the covers are pulled off in the new sportscar in Detroit tomorrow. Much mystery has surrounded the both the proposed debut of Ferrari's latest V12-engined 'Gran Tourer' and its potential name, with 'F600 Imola' or another revival of the famous 'Testarossa' badge being mooted in the media.

However Il Sole 24 Ore today appears to put the mysteries to bed, the Italian newspaper often having an inside line on what is afoot at within the Fiat Group. They believe that the new car, codenamed F139, will be called the 599 GTB (Gran Tourer Berlinetta) and a revealing at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit tomorrow morning is planned. This would follow in a recent tradition that saw the Superamerica unveiled at last January's show, and the 612 Scaglietti during the 2004 edition.
 

The new Ferrari 599 GTB will continue a recent lineage of front engined 2+2 seating 'Gran Tourer' models which hark back to famous Prancing Horse traditions. This new model will now replace the outgoing 575 M Maranello, which itself was an improved version of the previous 550 Maranello, with a larger capacity V12 engine. Styled by Pininfarina, the 599 GTB follows the design layout of their recent 612 Scaglietti as well as heavily borrowing cues from their acclaimed Ferrari Rossa concept car.
