    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    I agree that it is less than ideal, perhaps a sliding glass targa roof. It just seems no matter what they choose the car will be somehow compromised (more weight/less stiff) compared to the Scuderia coupe.

    If you take in account, that the hardtop of the California is already lighter than the cloth top of the F430 Spider, I have no doubt that Ferrari can solve such a weight problem.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    I can believe the folding top can be made lighter than the standard hard top however the issue of torsional rigidity is still present. The 430 was not designed from the ground up as an open top car like the CGT, it would therefore require additional bracing to ensure adequate stiffness. This would inevitably add weight. Since the Scuderia is already fairly stripped out it is hard to see where Ferrari will cut the wieght. Not to mention increasing safety and emissions requirements.

    Well, Ferrari doesn't care that much about safety and emissions requirements, do they?

    Concerning rigidity: IMO the F430 Spider is rigid enough for a convertible. It weighs about 70kg more than the berlinetta. Question now is, if they substract weight of the electrically operated soft top and replace it by a light weight barchetta style roof, how much of these 70kg they could reduce. But I think with this solution they could create a Spider version with a weight coming close to that of the Scuderia.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    That seems possible however the rumors of the scud spider being significantly lighter than the coupe seem far fetched.

    Well, Ferrari doesn't care that much about their weight figures and what numbers they publish either, do they?

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    Just a left field thought........ what if they did a version like the one off 360 barchetta they built?? It would certainly reduce weight and make for an interesting track day weapon.

    Hint : That's why it will be semi targa, on a CF tube chassis

    So they're going to engineer an entirely new CF tube chasis (not monocoque?) for an end of the line limited production scud spider? Doesn't seem likely.

    I think he was talkin about the upcoming F142.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    That occured to me as well. The f142, with a CF monocoque, twin turbo high revving v8, and DCT, will be astonishing.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    i cant wait to see the first mules, we will finally get a good idea of the proportions and some design cues.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    On Sept 19 I have seen in a ferrari workshop inside F factory, the rear fenders of the F430 successor. One stop light on each side. Similar shape as the F430.

    Darn it, I was hoping for 2 lights per side.

    When you said similar shape to the F430, I'd assume you were referring to only the fenders, right? Because I am hoping that the car's profile/silhouette will be very different than the F430 (think LP560), and that the design lines will be more angular. Can you describe more about the fenders please? Thanks...

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    Shin, english it's not my native language. It's very hard for me to do what you asked for. Yes, I've seen only the rear fenders and the upper back side. Some side airvents almost the same as the current F430 were there, up and down but that's hardly a surprise. I liked the back. The space between the rear window and the end of the car was wider than on the current 430 which gave me the sensation of an incorporated rear wing, fixed. Because of the wide space the 2 rear ligts made the back look really good, like a space craft. I love the classic 4 rear lights of F cars and I don't liker the "new only two" but I must say that the general "flow" of the car made me like it a lot. Of course, some idiotic details may end up destroying the shear piece of metalic beauty I saw like happened with California lower end. But it was a piece of art as far as I am concerned.

    Thanks a lot, very detailed info and I think I got what you meant. It's something like this, right ? Looking good indeed

    Let's hope that's not the case for the F142. Ferrari should really get it right this time...

    Thanks for the info, very interesting indeed!

    Just keep in mind that its stll very early for the 430 replacement. The car will most likely be released as a MY 2011 around the last few months of 2010. This means that the car you saw is still under development, and will probably change dramatically over the next year.

    No. F430 successor will come in end 2009.

    Correct. Successor will be out in late 2009.

    Re: News on the 430 Replacement

    I hear it could be even earlier than expected. Prototypes have been running on tracks, as 430 with blacked out rear bonnet glass, including the one crashed by M. Schumacher.

    It could be offered in 3 bodystyles : berlinetta, targa, and revived nameplate GTS for the spider.

    stefan, i received info from trusted sources in the factory that there is 8 months delay on the f430 successor, they confirmed me that it wont be frankfurt 09, and probably geneva 2010..

    Ferrari F250 Concept Design by Idries Noah

    (from Idries Noah)  The idea for this car was simple, fast, aerodynamic and beautiful, while taking styling queues from Ferraris old and new. Being a mid-engine rear wheel drive, I had the freedom to give the car a really aggressive stance. Low, pointy front and Muscular rear makes it look like its ready to pounce.

    I designed this car originally as a Dino concept. But the name didn't compliment the design. So I went for something more Ferrari. Ferrari F250. I think it's works well with the car. The number 250 which comes from the legendary 250 GTO.

    Being a small car and very light I was thinking of a 2.5L V6 engine (250) that runs on bio-fuel.

     

    Its not even a real ferrari design, just something this person came up with and thought it would be a good way to go for ferrari. thats the story.
