Maranello/factoryvisit/Fiorano + PROTO Pics.

Nice spy photos, I am even more anxious to see the 575 replacement now.
Thanks for sharing.

 

Yes, look at the door openers. Nice spy shots!

Roel, that was fantastic !
You beat the foto sessions I took a few weeks ago at the German dealers by far ;-)

I hear that the policia local is still looking for that sniper.

 

Great pics Roel,

Must have been wonderfull to visit the factory.

I find that 430 AWSOME, I like the color a lot !

These are by far the best shots to date of the 575 replacement and that other mysterious and heavily disguised front engine car.

Not to mention all of the other pics of familiar cars with some unusual details.


Thank you Roel.

 

Great pics. It looks like the Imola will have the manettino switch on the steering wheel as well.

I am hopeful that the shooting brake car is the new Maserati Spyder and not the new Dino. Hopefully the testing is proof that the cars is going to become realty sooner rather than later. I think the new Spyder an important car for Maserati if the want to have success in the States. Don't get me wrong, I really hope Ferrari does produce an entry level car. Yet I would rather it be a true mid-engined car like the Dino was.

Fanatastic pictures Roel.

Is that a possible F430CS do you think?
Or just a Challenge car?

Hi Simon,
Since the CS has already been presented, I think this is more likely "just a Challenge car"
Note also the built in race-style hydraulic jack underneath the rear end of this car.....I don't know if the CS has that one, but I suppose not!!!

Uhhhh??? When did this happen?

 

Sorry Simon.....My misunderstanding!!!
Of course it was the F430 Challenge, and not the Challenge Stradale which was presented at the Frankfurt International Motorshow!!!
I have looked at the pics from the Frankfurt show, and the two cars look very similar, so still I think it is a Challenge car on Roel's pics!!!

Nice pics, on the pic from your hotel room, you can see a lot of red Ferrari's among the trees and buildings. I have pictures from that Parkinglot. When I vwas there I climbed a fence and took pictures inside the area where you aren't suppose to Saw maybe 100 Ferrari's there - And the prototype you saw, I saw it to.. Supposedly it's a Scag Spider.

 

nice pics Roel!

 

Very nice pics.
The 575 replacement prototype looks like it is shaped like a modern 250GTO.

 

nice pics!!

Maybe a little late, but still great pics Roel

Maranello seems to be a dream city!

 

If you like Ferrari's it's a must to visit it whenever you got the oppurtunity!
It's a really nice place IMO.

 

What do you guys recon of the 360 with single (as opposed to dual) exhausts on wach side??

 

Could you post this photo (or upload and link it) in high res somewhere pls?
