    430 Spider Pics!!!

    Y'all are a lucky bunch! Yesterday I saw it but was unable to take pictures, today I saw it again, and had someone in the car who managed to snap a few. Low res it's a phone cam. Italian plates were covered today and it had Dubai commercial plates, driven by a lady, with the Italian dude from yesterday sitting smugly next to her.
    Enjoy

    Thanks for the shots. The back end looks better than the 360 which had either the wide challenge grill or the flat panel. I am puzzled as to how they took delivery on the car prior to its official introduction. They must have alot of pull with the executives at Ferrari.

    Re: 430 Spider Pics!!!

    I'd say they had something to do with Ferrari, and are not owners of the car. Covered up Italian plates, 2 Italians in Dubai. Maybe they are doing some real world summer testing, temp is 25 degrees, or they are tempting the locals.
    The lady did not look that confident driving it, looked like her first time, see how close upto the steering wheel she is.

    Thats awesome that you got these pictures! I'm really impressed. I agree next time you should watermark them or have someone from rennteam do it so that you don't lose the credit that is due you. Again, AWESOME pics.

    If they are serious about summer testing they ought to come back in say 5 months when the temp. reaches about 48-50 degrees. But then again, since they appear to be from Ferrari, they know very well that their cars won't make it pass the 1/4 mile mark under such heat.

    Re: 430 Spider Pics!!!

    As long as u guys enjoyed the pics I'm happy, no need to take credit, it was no big deal. Actually pics were taken with 2 different phones, the high quality ones were taken with a new Nokia 6630 which has a 1.3mpixel camera, others were taken with my Nokia 6600 .3mpixel.
    It was a total coincidence that I bumped into this car again, wasn't looking for it!!

    Actually the economy here in Dubai is built around tourism and attracting new business investment, oil is not the focus. Not to say that plenty of locals got their start in oil, and a 430 is peanuts to guys who drive SLR's, CGT's, Enzo's, and the like. Dubai is a showcase market for the region, and this is the place to be seen in a new Ferrari.

    As i said it before... Rhamy you are a lucky person!
    Very nice shots and very good job! In my opinion ferrari is testing the car under summer conditions. In germany we actually have snow. If they want to show the car in europe during summer, they must test it under summer conditions.
