    DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    They will be able to import 430's built after Sept,1, 2006 into the US.

    Stradale no need to worry. You will be getting your car.

    BTW, I believe the exemption is only for two years so the 430 will be replaced in late 2008.

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    That is great news. I get the next six speed spider at my dealer. I am hopping eary 2007. Thanks for the info.

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Great news, now posers will still be able to waste $100k over MSRP for a 430 spider!

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    that is good news but,
    i thought you said the hearing was in july?
    how did you find that out?

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    That CGT paintjob is hideous.


    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Jeff, Ferrari's argument was compelling. No need for hearing. Oh BTW, do you think that Italy being part of the coalition forces helped?

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Nick, you just hit a new low... But I am sure a new F car for the DOT head helped

    Dont go there with Nick on politics. He gets confused
    so much that he thinks the US gave Khomenis regime a nuclear reactor.

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    thanks for the news nick... so no flooding of 430's in the rest of the world...

    appreciate the second chance!
    but now i have to profess ignorance of the "AI6" ?

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    AI=American Idol, you know that TV show that kidnaps people from Alabama and forces them to sing until they win?

    Gawwd that CGT is so ugly! You make it look like a Fiero based replica car!

    I guess people in Bama can sing, but cannot paint

    unfortunately i can't carry a note either!
    birmingham has done well in idol.
    this is the fifth?
    that would mean out of five birmingham has won one, had a runnerup in another, and this time will either win or runnerup again!
    three out of five for one city aint bad!
    appreciate the honest feedback anyways!

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Thanks for the news Nick.

    So, what everyone expected happened. And we can look forward to an all new exciting V8-modell in 2008/2009. Hmmm, just imagine, this sophisticated V8 with approximately 4.7 litres and 535 horses together with this delicate new chassis technology, just introduced in the F599.

    Get your deposits down, gents!

    I thought that it was generally accepted that the 430 replacement was going to be a V10?

    Well, not so sure about that. Obviously there are two rumours:

    - One is the new V10, that is reported to use the former Formula 1 V10 as basis. A new V10 to fight back the V10 in the Gallardo.

    - The other is the new V8, which is capable of at least 4.8 litres and of which already a 4.7 litre version will be used in the Quattroporte in the near future.

    More good news. Ferrari committed to only ship 2000 430's for the exemption period of two years. Assuming half will be Spiders and the coupes your looking at only 500 per year for each.

    These babies will be hard to come by. Those that own one will have significant leverage in the resale market.

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Good news for who

    Sorry but no one who can afford these types of cars should be that selfish.

    Even less coupes when you consider a possible launch of a CS version.

    What has Nick's comment to with being selfish?

    The less numbers of each model are produced, the better for the whole brand. That is the reason for exclusivity and conservation of value.
    Finally we're not talking about Porsche here.

    Does anyone know how many 430s are being delivered to the US at the moment?
    IOW how much of a reduction is 1,000 units/year?

    nick,
    you had stated before they were sold out for the f430.
    if they have limited it to 2000 is that leaving some orders in hand out in the cold???

    Jeff welcome to Ferrari World.

    There is no way they can fill orders for those on the wait list. THis should be good news for Gallardo and Porsche 997TT.

    Re: DOT granted Ferrari the temporary exemption on the 430.

    Well Simon Cowell drives a blue F430 cab in LA, so i guess thats all that matters isnt it.

    it's hard to see how the market price could go higher for the f430.
    but maybe some of it was due to the possibility of none coming in the not to distant future.
    maybe now even with the limited amount the market price will stabilize at its current stratospheric level.
