But when the V12 powered replacement for today's 599 is being readied in Italy then it's really, really big.
The newcomer is called F152 and - after years of rumours and speculations - the Italian stallion has finally been caught testing by Carparazzi.
Ferrari has done a great camouflage job with body bits that look more like a winter jacket, but the disguise will be stripped away at the opening of the Geneva Motor Show in March when everything from the car's all-new chassis and its 6.3-litre V12 engine - with more than 520 kiloWatts - is revealed.
Expect it here late in 2012 with a price tag of at least $650,000.
