The styling of its cars may have changed several times over the years but one thing remains the same: the magnificent sounds Ferrari's 12-cylinder engines.

The replacement for the Ferrari 599 is no exception, even in an unpolished prototype form. The heavily camo'd test car was filmed around the Italian carmaker's Maranello headquarters with the driver doing his best to please our ears…

U SPY: Is this a Prototype for the Ferrari Enzo's Replacement?

During a recent trip to Maranello to visit the Ferrari Museum, Carscoop reader Edward Chew along with a close friend spotted this heavily camouflaged Ferrari prototype (or test mule) doing the rounds on the Italian firm's Fiorano test track.

Edward tells us that he and his friend were not sure what kind of model might be hiding behind all that cladding.

If you take a closer look at the prototype in the scoop pictures, you'll see that it has an extremely low bonnet and air outlets located at the rear end of the car, which can only mean that this is a mid-engine Ferrari model.

Now, we only know of one new mid-engined supercar that Ferrari has officially confirmed, and that's the Enzo's successor.

SPIED: Is Ferrari Working on a Hotter California Model, Possibly a GTO Variant?

Ferrari's engineers have been working overtime in the past year as the Italian company has several new or updated models in the pipeline, including a replacement for the 599 GTB Fiorano that we scooped last week, a new flagship Enzo model and a mild facelift for the California.

SCOOP: New Ferrari F152 Supercar Getting Ready Take on Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

Once again, we have caught Ferrari's 599 GTB Fiorano replacement testing out in the open, but unlike the previous test mule we captured on film wearing the current model's body panels, this one is a prototype of the final production model.

The next 599 GTB, which is currently known only by its internal F152 codename, will compete against the new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. It is scheduled to be revealed at the 2012 edition of the Geneva Salon in March, with sales to follow later in the year.

Back to our scoop photos, Ferrari's engineers made sure that we couldn't see the details of its new top supercar as the prototype was craftily covered in a puffy suite. However, the front-engine arrangement and long nose are clearly visible while we also get a peek of the deeply mounted LED tail lamps.
