While Ferrari will only launch their new challenger next Friday, detailed images of the car have appeared in the Italian press.
Gazzetta dello Sport reported that the new model - which is expected to either be named the F12 or F2012 - will have a pull-rod rear suspension and narrow sidepods and at the launch will have last season's front and rear wings in order to avoid revealing too much to their rivals.
Autosprint have now gone one better and have released drawings they claim to be of the car. The publication claims that the model is 'heavily inspired' by McLaren's MP4-26 and is a 'clean break with the past', statements that are in line with team principal Stefano Domenicali's assertion that the car would be 'really extreme' as Ferrari look to make up ground on Red Bull.
There is also said to be a hump on the nose which leads to the car not being visually appealing. Another area which immediately strikes one on sight are the high wings around the driver's cockpit.
The report suggests that the car's exhaust - which has been remodeled due to the outlawing of blown diffusers - is interestingly high, perhaps in order to stream gases on to the rear wing.
