Re: News on the 430 Replacement
I am not a Ferrari fan, but this car is fantastico. A real exotic, dream car. Well done Pininfarina 
.
I also like the name. How many manufacturers would be allowed to use their country's name for a model.
I hope all this technology can at last be enjoyed 24/7 (like on an Audi R8 V10 for example) without the usual Ferrari limitations.
A negative for Ferrari is that the 458 Italia, makes the recently launched California, already look old and fat.

Well, California drivers are probably older and fatter than 458 drivers.
Don't say this to women who are California's main customers

Re: News on the 430 Replacement
Striking car - I like most of it I'm not keen on the 'overlapping' side design. I don't think it's a design that will age well but it's certainly bold and confident IMO.

Re: News on the 430 Replacement
Well this indeed lifts the mark vs competition. If ferrari had made that car a lot lighter (like they had been leaking in the press for a while now) <1200kgs then it would probably make a lot of die hard porsche fans (like me) convert!! At 1380kgs it is same as scuderia.
Still, I hope this will push all other manufacturers in the right direction. I hope P sees this and launches new 997tt.2 with 520-540 hp. That's so easy to do for them..

OK. How about "more mature and more cuddly"?
