Ferrari has the automotive world buzzing again since rumors about the production of new models crept up in the rumor mill. While we couldn’t wait to see what Ferrari has in store for us in the next few years, sometimes, we are fortunate enough to get glimpse’s of what future Ferrari models will look like.

First on the rumor agenda is the talk about Ferrari presenting the new 458 Spider model during this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The 458 Spider stems from its not-so-successful predecessor, the 430 Spider. The 458 Spider is rumored to have a top-down hard top and we just couldn’t wait to see how that will turn out. There’s also rumor circulating about a hardcore variant of the 458 Spider that will wow us in 2013. Experts assume that the hardcore variant would carry a different name.

We all remember the Ferrari California with is V8 engine located at the mid-front, right? Rumor is that it will be heavily redesigned in 2013 while the Ferrari Italia will be revamped in 2014, even though the Italia just rolled out into showrooms last year. A little premature for redesign but no official word yet.
The sports car brand is also said to make a replacement of its 599 GTB Fiorano sometime next year with the proposed replacement vehicle under the codename F152, which will get a V12, direct injection power plant.

Lastly, word is that the successors to top Ferrari models—Enzo, 288 GTO, F40 and F50—will make its debut any time in 2012.
