Inside, the new model will be a true four-seater. The front seats will incorporate slim backsides with deep cutouts for increased rear passenger knee-room. Each new Ferrari model has subsequently improved ergonomics, fit and finish and materials used, to the point where few cars can equal the Italian marque's attention to detail. The 456 replacement will without a doubt continue this trend.

As is traditional, Ferrari 2+2s come equipped with top-tier V12 power, mounted up front and powering the rear wheels. Ferrari will veer slightly from the past by adopting a 'front-midship' design, a term Nissan/Infiniti has coined to explain its 350Z, G35, FX engine placement, just behind the front axle for optimal weight distribution. It is expected the new Ferrari will achieve something close to 50/50 balance.
Just what V12 variation the new model will get hasn't yet to be announced, but rumor says it will be based on the Enzo's engine with more than 550-hp on tap, giving it the 460 designation. So listen up married-with-children CEOs, your executive shuttle is forthcoming. Best to queue up before it grows too late.
