I like it, but I can't say that I'm 100% sure from those generated pictures...I'm sure I'll see one in Birmingham as soon as they're available anyway.

Ferrari takes their pictures like that if that's what you meant.

They still look computer generated on the 430

Ferrari F430 - The Arrival of a Brand New Generation
Maranello, 24 August 2004 ? The F430 signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models. This new car takes Ferrari?s extraordinary achievements with aluminium technology, begun with the 360 Modena, to a whole new level, and offers a series of extremely significant innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters.

Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted switch (better known to the Formula 1 Scuderia?s drivers as "manettino"), which manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics.

The other main characteristics of the new F430 are its light, compact 4,300 cc 90° V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the new Ferrari berlinetta with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight); a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use (optional); a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car (0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph) and an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.

The car will be officially presented during the Paris Motor show in September 2004.

The UK price and specification for the F430 will be announced prior to its UK launch in 2005.

Anyone got the coupon? What about MIR?

I think they took the online coupon down from their website and you need to make your purchase by 8/25 to get in on the MIR. But they are running a special until October: buy a Ferrari and get a free iPod!

I'm sure Ferrari really cares about a bunch of internet geeks complaining about the side mirrors being engraved :p

That is sexy btw.

I think the C6 and the C5 resemble the 3rd gen rx-7 more.

The engraved mirror looks great to me, I like it. The back is definitely from Enzo, it's sexy. So this car is going to replace Ferrari 360 eh? I thought it just came out not so long ago.

This car will be a phenomenal success, just like the outgoing 360.
To achieve performance on par with Lamborghini?s Gallardo, the F430 gets power from a 4.3-liter V8 engine derived from sibling marque Maserati?s Coupe, Spyder and Quattroporte. The Ferrari uses a flat-crank, unique intake manifold and lighter internal parts to churn out 483 hp at 8500 rpm, a significant improvement over the 360 Modena?s 400 hp rating. Just as promising, torque rises from 275 lb-ft to 343 lb-ft at 5250 rpm. Ferrari claims the new car sprints from 0 to 62 mph in 4.0 seconds, a half-second quicker than the old model. Top speed bumps to 196 mph?a 13-mph improvement. Ferrari says it has modified the F1 gearbox?s performance, with shifts taking a scant 0.15 second.
Good God.:Q:D
