I was in Modena, at the factory last week, and everybody there told me replacement should be there in 2010, (press end 2009), and NOT 2009 or even 2008 as Nick here is telling us.
The production cycle of the 430 should be 5 years !

They are also building new production plants for the coming "Dino". Also the current production lines of both the 8 and 12cyl will be replaced.



Very true. Ferrari's V8 model line is updated every 5 years, with a completely new platform every 2 generations.

Same platform : F348/F355 (1989-1999).
New platform : F360 (1999-2004) and F430 (2004-2009).

2009 will see a completely new platform.

The new Dino will arrive before the F142..
