Ferrari's 2011 car to be called the F150
Ferrari have unveiled the name of their 2011 car after referring to it as 'Project 662' during the Winter period - a tactic the outfit regularly employs.
The new car will be called the F150. The reasoning behind the name is to pay tribute to the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy.
A statement also confirmed the livery would feature the 'Tricolore' Italian flag to further mark the occasion.
"Ferrari is an expression of Italian excellence, talent and creativity," declared President Luca di Montezemolo. "All the men and women who put so much effort and passion into their work at Maranello share the pride and responsibility of representing our country around the world and it is in this spirit that we chose to dedicate this car to an event that is so important for the whole of Italy."
The news was announced in advance on Tuesday to the President of the Italian Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, who expressed his appreciation of the initiative.
