interesting - they say it's a "420M". is the theory that it's a modificato of the 360 and not a whole new model? that is, they didn't call the 328 a 328M even though it was an incremental change over the 308. doody.
Looks like they picked up the side scoop from the other horse car, the Mustang..............I'll be praying for more pizazz.
more photo.. 1. engine=450PS V8 DOHC http://www.cbworkshop.com/images/Ferrari/ENG.jpg 2. actual spy photo http://www.cbworkshop.com/images/Ferrari/SPY.jpg
They're going big on the side intakes again, reminiscent of the 355 - they were more subdued on the 360. Mini-Enzo-Bum rear there. 911Fan, I think this will be it. As seen on the C6, the CGT and the 997, the trend is going back to one intake on the nose instead of the two that were more common through the early 2000's. [before anyone says anything, yes, I am stating the obvious]
it is a CG drawing..but if you go to www.google.com and search for Ferrari 420 Modena other spy photo (actual test cars) are very very similar to this CG drawing.
The engine shot looks like a photoshop of the Quattroporte engine, which makes sense as a starting point. However, I would assume the enging would be further modified with a flat-crank, and have dual air intakes, not the single one shown in this pic...
ohohohohohoh! the firts photo is only a mixed 360 modena wthi testarossa. or the new future european reglementation impose a front side without dangerous part, now all new car in europe will be agreement with new crash test in front side with model to minimize choc; same with the left and right side. out the air admission way Testarossa.
Chinaboy, chinaboy, chinaboy, Please have a look around first. Poor Brian must be pulling his hair out. This is where all 360 replacement pictures, etc. should go so we can have a single place for this discussion: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14452 Not the end of the world, just makes sense to have one thread about the 420/430 ... Pete's got his picky suit on
finally, the actual photo of the real thing!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v351/hpuv00/F430_4.jpg
Chinaboy, I was still being breast feed when that photo came out. Again not sure how old you are so I will be kind ... have a look at this OFFICIAL 360 replacement thread: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14452 Everybody was asked by the administrators of this wonderful site to post 360 replacement stuff there ... 99% of us get it, and do this ... but you have to be a pain in the ****. Pete's once again amazed at how stupid some people are ...
look man, I do not come here often and I have no idea what other posts (or where they are) so I just stick with my post that I started awhile back. **anyway, I don't know why the official 420/430M thead is in the 360 forum?? this is only gossip photos....
It is not the 360 forum, it is the forum for modern Ferraris ... hence the 420/430M is a MODERN Ferrari too. If you want to find plenty of pictures of this car try having a look at it ... you will find heaps of information about it that would probably interest you. Pete's trying to help
