The name of the upcoming Leica M camera with EVF is rumored to be Leica M11-V. Some internal sources referred to the camera as Leica M-V, but I believe the final model version will be Leica M11-V, just like the M11-D, M11-P, and the M11-M (the M with EVF model will be based on the M11-P).
The official announcement is coming soon: the latest beta version of the Leica Fotos App already contains references for the Leica M11-V model, which suggests the official announcement will be in the next few weeks.
I already posted several leaked pictures from a recent Leica survey where they described different design update options, and one of them included an EVF:

The Leica M12 and Leica with EVF (M11-V) are two different models. There will be no Leica M12 this year (2025), and maybe not even next year (unless it comes very late in 2026).

The new 100MP Fujifilm GFX 100RF medium format camera with fixed lens, for example, looks very similar to a Leica Q, but with many more buttons, wheels, and levers:
For 100 years, Leica has redefined photography, shaping the way we capture moments with precision and artistry. To celebrate this milestone, Rock n Roll Straps & Bags introduces the Century Red Dot Collection, a special edition series of handcrafted leather camera straps designed to honor Leica’s legacy with elegance and function.
Crafted from two layers of premium full-grain Italian leather, this strap features a sophisticated black pebbled exterior paired with a striking red underside—a signature nod to the legendary camera brand. The soft yet durable leather is designed to age beautifully over time, ensuring both comfort and longevity.
The Century Straps built for versatility and ease of use, come in two standard sizes 100cm and 125 cm but also adjustable with an adjustable length ranging from 107cm to 120cm, allowing photographers to wear it crossbody or over the shoulder for the perfect fit. Reinforced metal hardware, precise stittching, and the signature Red Dot accents at both ends complete this strap, making it the perfect blend of function and elegance.
