    Hello PAP 348,

    Yes i'm still happy with what i saw untill now. I think the performance will be stunning and its allways fun to drive a new model specially when its one of the first delivery's. :D
    Anyway, i gonna keep my 430 spider also. No doubt about that.
    But lets wait a few weeks till we see more clear pics of the new model. :)

    Greetings,

    Dirk/Marbella

    I think it just looks like that because it does not have a front bumper.

    I sincerely hope it doesn't have California mirrors stuck out like that, they simply ruin the design

    Great news Dirk.


    I think that F450 with supercharged V8, with direct gasoline injection and cca 650 hp (490 kw) is going to be a masterpiece of Ferrari engineering and great response to all rivals and environmentalist :)D).



    And next great news - 430Scuderia gets his successor!




    My article about F450 (I am sorry, in czech languague)

    I agree, only thing that doesn't look sexy is how high the passenger cabin is. Too tall and bulky, not sleek enough.

    That last picture with the car cover over it looks like the car could be an NSX underneath.

    I have strong reason to believe the car in post #34 is the real deal



    I could be completely wrong, but i don't think so. Then again, i'm surprised that Ferrari haven't yanked this thread considering how uptight they are about their new cars

    That would be very good news -- something svelte.

    It's way lower than the Tiburon behind it in post #102, which is a good sign. ;)

    I can't say I like that very much. That wheel gap is atrocious, too.

    After looking at the pics again, I think it looks like a miniature, curvey enzo. Anyone else agree?

    I think they applied the Millechile concept and downsized the 430 replacement.

    It will probably weigh about 2500 pounds

    Chris the image in #34 is conjecture based on what is visible in the actual photos. The details were filled in via Photoshop brushing as well as copy and paste from other cars. Most obviously the R8. The entire from bumped is guess work based on the intakes for the front radiators as well as known, older Ferrari design.

    There is more curviness over 12 inches of the rear flank, than there is on an entire Gallardo. You can get a paper cut just looking at a Gallardo.
