Default Ferrari F430 replaced this year!!!
I cant belive the life cycle of the F430 is already up. Even more, i cant believe they may replace it with this. I heard about Ferrari's new direction, but i didnt think it would look like this. IM not a fan, but maybe it'll grow on me. Some things i like better than others. Very angular ad futuristic looking, i think it was good on paper, but executed poorly. I could do better, and i will in the future hopefully! After all, my school is funded partly be ferrari and we have an on campus ferrari design studio!

Looks pretty good to me. A different direction than the 360/430 but it doesn't look bad at all.

Not a huge fan, looks like a beefed up 360. Depending on the specs it may grow on me

Hideous.

Looks like the older Gallardo and an F430 fucked and the resultant baby has down syndrome. I hope the production version looks 10x better than that abortion.

Debut is still months away. You have to remember the 430 is based on the 360 which came out in '99. Plus it's their bread and butter car. So a new car coming out in 2010 makes sense.

I won't judge these "renderings" 100%, but I kinda like what I see so far. And rumor says it will be a intercooled twin turbocharged V8.

Thought it was a massaged 5.0 V8 with DI.

Judging by the talk of an F450 designation I would think that it would be some sort of NA 4.5L V8 derivation maybe.

I like it better than the design of the car it's replacing. Still nowhere as good as the lambo's and zonda's

I like the GTO and the F40/F50's.

100% agree. It looks like a chinese Company said "Hey, we need a company like Ferrari, too!" And this is the result...


But this Maserati looks cool:

Is it coming or just a render?

Nobody really knows yet. Just going by what I've read on Ferrarichat.com.

The intercooled twin turbocharged set up might be for the new super Ferrari they think now....
