Mega Thread: The 430 Replacement (F450, F500, etc)

Is that true that dealers can now sell over sticker? If so, it will get ugly real fast.

 

Don't agree because to make a car like the one in the picture is a lot more factory effort than sticking an Enzo motor in a stretched 348, just think about all the money to design and make new body panels.

But this car is reminding me a P4...

 

In my opinion, this could very well be a "mutted" F430 mule, as Ferrari put together with the 348 for the Enzo. This is not the finished product.

If thats the 430 replacement then I'm ready to trade for a Scuderia.

 

Eclipse meets Audi R8
That's It .
it looks cool but zero innovation there .

everyone complained about BANGLE in it's time

now everyone follows his path

 

If I ever could afford a 'bespoke' car ala P4/5 I'd have Pininfarina do up a modern 288 on a 430 or Scud chassis.

1) Triangular intake on the upper door
2) Duck tail
3) fender vents
4) Nose with inward angle and deep spoiler
5) Twin turbo?

 

Buddy you send chills up my spine.

If Ferrari still designed cars like the 288GTO they would rock my world. Maybe Im just living in the past...maybe car styling today doesnt suck as bad as i think it does and Im just old...

Or maybe Im right and it does suck

 

Pininfarina needs to find another Leonardo Fioravanti, and quickly!

 

I was thinking Zonda now I'm thinking Dino. Timeless beauty for the uninitiated.

 

I think you will see a Scuderia bump in price for sure.

 

Interesting.

Seems like the air intakes for the engine are behind the window glass. Kind of like the brunei car pictures above and the 288GTO.
The rear wheel arch/fender looks like the curve from P4/5
The rear curve of the side windows look a little Enzo-ish.
I also see a little California in that rear 3/4 when seen from the side.
I'm sure it will be wider and lower than the Cali from the rear, so that will make it better. Looking at the rear part of the sides, I think there will be more than a little Enzo in the back, but what the heck do I know..

I still haven't warmed up to the Cali, but I think I will like this one. I like curves and this one seems less angular than the last couple of designs. I'm not crazy about the side windows...they look really tall.

I love new cars! It's fun guessing what the end product will look like- sometimes the final looks better than imagined, other times... not so much.

 

A huge sigh of relief after the California being such a disappointment!

It looks a lot lower and wider. Can't wait to see a rear shot.

Need more pics.....

 

Still very early, but I'm not taken in yet. Hope it turns out well because Ferrari haven't made a properly pretty car since the Stradale.

 

I like it, very curvy....beautiful

 

I think the rocker panel maybe camo add-on, it just doesn't seem to "fit" with the rest of the car... Also, the steep angle of the radiator(s) seems to be new - I'd guess we're going to see wider and shorter intakes for them than are present on the 430...

(a quick PS to show the angle of the radiators and the rocker panel camo I'm talking about...)

Maybe a goblin ate part of it.

 

+1 That's the car that came to mind for me when I saw this. I like the curves, better than the 360/430 in my view. The front-end might not 'work', but its better than before.

 

Well... one of our dutch members came up with this 2006 pic of the "new Dino" thread... you name it

Didn't one of our members "Icemanbops" see the drawing of the new car? I swear he posted he saw it during his last factory trip and was very pleased. He would be one of the few to confirm if these pictures have any legitimacy.

 

This has got potential! Remember - the pshop image contains guesses as to what the entire lower half of the car will look like - front/rear fenders, rear wing vents etc. We also don't see a proper side profile or rear view. Rushing to judge this car based on these shots is short sighted - but at least it looks a damn sight better than a Cali even with half the body missing! So, all the signals look positive in my view!!!

 

+100

 

A smoother version of anunakki's pshop.
