wow....I can't believe this makes the F430 look a little dated......

I like the enzo body style look

I hope ferrari can actually use some carbon fiber, the ferrari california has so much plastic... looks straight up ugly.

WOW, HOT!

LOL the photochopper forgot about the B and C pillar behind the windscreen. :haha:

430 replacement?

This looks fucking ugly. People only think it looks good because its a Ferrari.

i like the enzo shape

Yes it's replacing the f430. While jeff alexander hates it, I think its a nice modern take on some old ferrari design cues.. paired with some new things. Unfortunately for the louts not everything can look exactly like the old cars we love.

Looks like the lovechild of the LP560 and the Ferrari California
Can't go wrong there

Wow that Power:weight is amazing!
Front end looks a little too kit car for me, but loving the 458!

WUUU the exhaust is like the f40!!3 of them!!

yeah... lol @ the triple exhaust tips

not digging the mesh near the headlights and on the trunk

otherwise, wow nice curves!

Wow... that looks so exotic compare to the F430~ nice car...
The headlight will take some getting used to.

does the piece near the taillight raise up?

that actually looks cool.

it's fricking ugly. LP560 looks way better. Hell i'd have the F430 instead

everyones sayin its ugly now, as soon as its spotted on the road im sure eveyrone wil think different

looks good

holy shit look at the size of those discs

80% more torque at 3400rpm

this torque spec is what gives me a boner from a performance perspective, having that much acceleration power down low is wicked.

as far as styling, I love everything about it except the rear circular lights, it's not sleek enough and it doesnt match the rest of the cars styling.

For some reason the front makes me think of a gallardo

They need to be consistent with the numbering scheme... if this is the 458, the 430 should be a 438.

Looks hot - I'm impressed they were able to keep the weight that low as well. With roughly 100 more hp and less weight, it should really move.

looks hot

when are we going to get real pictures tho? no point in cgi
