Italy’s Prancing Horse has announced record sales in 2011 and claims that the future looks even rosier, with "significant rates of growth” in the US and China. Other markets are also experiencing growth spurts, but not as close to those two.

Thus, we arrive to hard numbers: 7,195 cars sold worldwide by Ferrari in 2011, representing an increase of 9.5 percent compared to 2010. Naturally, income and profit have also been on the up side. The former reached the record level of 2.95 billion dollars, 17 percent higher than 2010, while the result after costs are deducted from that indicates a profit of 210 million dollars. Good for them, maybe that cash will go into saving Pininfarina.

Anyway, Ferrari Chairman Luca di Montezemolo stated: "We now have a complete range of models which will be joined in a few days time at the Geneva show by a new 12-cylinder. A revolutionary new car that delivers extreme performance and unprecedented power output."

That is right folks in a few days at the 2012 Geneva Auto Show we will be shown the expected successor to the 599 GTB Fiorano.
According to Auto Bild, the new car will called F620 GT and will feature a meaner V12, with a displacement of 6.3 liters. A 7 speed dual clutch transmission will send the power generated by that engine to the rear wheels.

Furthermore, Ferrari is bringing to Geneva an improved version of the Ferrari California, complete with a new Handling Speciale package.
