Those are the first pics I've seen of what are probably the stock seats. I think it needs Daytonas (or the sport seats, if that floats your boat.)
More I see it, more I like it!!! I used to HATE this car, but I like it more now. Who at Pininfarina did this car? Is this another work by Ken Okuyama (the designer of Enzo)? I've known Ken for years, but since he moved back to Italy, I haven't really heard from him. Ken's designs have that affect... People don't like it in the beginning, but it grows on people quickly - Enzo, 612, Quattroporte... The car looks like his design... Does anyone know?
I agree - I think it is an amazingly good looking car. They took the looks of the 360 and improved on it - without huge changes. Its more aggressive. Simply gorgeous. I also like the interior. Very nice job Ferrari..
The car is hot. It looks even better in yellow I think. But the steering wheel is taking some work getting used to.
I personally think the best part about this acr is its interior, although I like the rear as well... But the front needs a bit getting used to.
Well, since we're posting pictures of "treatments" we've done to the car, i'll go ahead and post mine... i rounded the air intake behind the door, good rid of the slit thingie on the side of the front fascia and edged out the bottom of the air intake on the front fascia, sort of how Ryan Alexander's might look; lastly, i took off the spoiler on the back, between the tail lights...
I kinda like getting rid of that huge opening on the bumper but I think the lower air scoop should be similar to the one on top. Previous opening on the bumper on 360s looked continuous with the lower air scoop behind the door and the current one is just there with no continuity. also, There seem to be clash with right angles and circular openings. They should either both be angular or circular and I think Ferrari made a mistake of splitting the two.
I luv em but NNO owners should be dissapointed. They paid SOOOO much money for their precious pony's and now they're selling a car with similar styling (not performance) for much less!!!! I mean I like the car but come on they are pushing the Enzo touch a little far.
Not sure if it's the lens used to take the pictures but the car looks like it's too short for the lines to work properly. A bit too chunky for my taste...at least in the photos. From what I've read, only the back end has been lengthened to improve aerodynamics. So I'm not sure why it looks chunkier than the 360. Maybe it's the tall 250LM style intakes over the rear fender. I'm not a big fan of the 360 either. Oh well, I'm sure it will be another big hit for Ferrari. Regardless of what I feel about the styling.
Hmmm... I never liked the front bumper at all. But now that I've seen more "amateur" pictures. The different lighting and non-professional feel, actually make it look better to me. I think I will like it once I have seen it in person.
looks like they took a 360 and smushed it with an enzo rear quarter panel. Very cool car but i have to see it in a spider. not a huge fan of the hardtop. Lamarossa
I'm sticking this thread... let's try to keep all the new pictures and discussion about the looks in this one thread for a while. To make this thread complete, here's some other pics threads you might want to visit on this topic: Pics of Yellow F430 Pics of a Red F430 Pics of a Silver F430 (and red again) Plus some video: F430 Video and sound file F430 video
Interesting. The simple treatment I'd like to see is getting rid of the black paint in the nostrils... leaving it body colored... only the grill itself in black. (I don't like "painted on features".)
