Ferrari is being hotly tipped to unveil the hardcore variant of the F12 at the Geneva Motor Show next March, but these images of a totally undisguised model suggest that reveal might come as early as next month. Spotted at Ferrari's HQ in Maranello, we now expect the Ferrari F12 GTO/Speciale/insert name to make an appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show in the middle of September. However, with the recent reveal of the 488 Spider, there is a chance Ferrari will hold the hot F12 back for a few more months.

The car looks uncannily alike to the renderings we saw a few weeks ago, with carbon-fiber sections on the front fenders and side skirts, and triple vents on the rear fenders to help cool the 6.3-liter V12, upgraded to deliver 760 hp. Combined with a 440-pound reduction in weight, the power-to-weight ratio of the F12 GTO will be upped from 447 hp to 531 hp per ton, putting it on par with the Porsche 918 Spyder. 0-62 mph will happen in less than three seconds, but an aerodynamics package will result in a top speed lower than the F12's 211 mph. Keep your eyes peeled for an online reveal in the coming days and weeks.
