Scuderia's real challenge will be the F430-successor.



Don't know about that, Rossi....

Scud will be obsolescent by time 430 successor launches....sort of like how many jaded F buyers quickly moved on from 360CS to 430....fast-advancing tech entails short relevant half-life for any of these cars....more like a smartphone than a bespoke suit/Patek or some other low-tech consumer good....who wants last yr's "hot", latest/greatest smartphone, flat-panel TV, etc????

Major question is whether 430 successor will offer useable mid-range tq (very relevant for commuting on fast, dense-traffic, urban CA fwys) while delivering impressive NBR times vs 599....
