Sorry guys, but so far I am not convinced. There is no logical link to between the airintakes and the F1-intakes from decades ago!
The bumper has no stylistical connection to the upper part of the car (fenders, hood) and looks to me as if it was fitted on aftermarket.
I know that you guys don't want to hear this but I personally wouldn't buy the car judging by these pictures. I do hope though that the car will look much better in person!
Greetings!

Looking at that front, I can imagine it was a quick and dirty redesign that still incorporates internally what was seen on the leaked shots/ Farina drawings from many months ago that generated such negative feedback , i.e., that gaping squared off toothless " smile " . That's probably why the new ovoid front grills and the geometrically complex Enzo -like rear seem so visually disjointed.

This aims at what I was thinking too! The front and back end don't have a senseful connection though you might interpret a "from past-to-future" message in there...
Precisely I do not even think that it is only about taste but let's just see how the car looks in public. I still have hope! Any reason why they picked that particular F1 front-nose design? Anniversary? Anybodies birthday?
I am kind of surprised that it is supposed to have the CS's power-to-weight ratio. According to AMS's review the CS was much heavier than Ferrari claimed - handing out kerb and not dry weight for the 430 might be a sign that we are talking about serious numbers. Anyways, considering that this car, just as the 360, is only 100 kg lighter than the 996 TT despite aluminium chassis and only RWD is kind of surprising to me!

Hi,
about the nose of the car ........ this is taken from the '196 SP & 248 SP' from 1962 , one of these cars was also next to the F430 on the special presentation day on 20/7

the F430 is a jumble of Enzo and 360 mushed together
