Thank you for the pics, waiting until september :twisted:

[Squeek]

yeah thanks for the pics mate. IMO the rear bumper is just tooooo big, what you lot think? though i think the rest looks fine n dandy :D

[Mopsdrops]

thanks for the pics, but Ferrari's models are getting uglier for me. the backside looks like shit! I hoped Ferrari could design back models like the F40, 328 series or the GTO...

I like that kind of shit :p

[budagboy2]

well the car is heavily camouflaged so the rear bumper is totally different, rumors say it will have similarities to the enzo

[T-Bird]

yeah I'm sure all that red tape was holding on a shit load of plastic still I like it.

[dons5]

ok this is Ferrari, u have to trust that there car is gorgeous, first of all its only tests, seconds of all have u ever seen a 612 in pics and then in person, holy fuck what a difference

[dons5]

[dons5]

exactly Dani_d_mas ur exactly right

[corvette97]

it seem to me that that car will have enzo tail lights 8) , the car looks really unfinished, lets wait

[dons5]

doesnt matter what it looks like wait to see it in person i bet in person even liek that it still looks awesome

[cho_888]

looks like a 360 that has been in some sort of crash. cant wait to see the finished product

[dons5]

thats been in a crash? what the fuck are u talkin about, u got a Challenge Stradale on ur pic and then u say a comment like that? Disgrace to Ferrari

[PATo355]

thats been in a crash? what the fuck are u talkin about, u got a Challenge Stradale on ur pic and then u say a comment like that? Disgrace to Ferrari

He meant that in the picture it looks very very bad , like a 360 in crash ... nothing more than that , i am a ferrari lover and i agree with cho , its looks hideous , but we know the final product will be astonishing as always

[dons5]

it doesnt look hideous, it looks awesome especially from that side view holy it looks unbelievable

[veilsidebr]

that´s a very good ferrari humm...

[HeilSvenska]

I just hope that 420 or whatever it will be doesn't look too much like the Enzo...i'd hate to see a Ferrari lose an identity of its own...

[T-Bird]

you can obviously tell the thing is highly camoflouged look at the first pic near the gas cap look at how deep the whole is they widened the thing like 2 inches and probably stretched it like 6. I do agree with Heilsvenska it better not be copying the Enzo too much every Ferrari in history has been it's own why change now.

[dons5]

well it wont copy, but i bet it will use strong design cues, like 308 - 328 or 348- 355,
and prob many others, look at the 456m and the 550/575, dont look similari at all but same design curs u know what im sayin?

[Tsjilp]

don't worry guys ... ferrari will make a great looking car ... I wont doubt about it ...

[schnell318]

Seems to have a pointier nose and the design all in all appears to be less curved, but can´t really tell for sure it´s camouflage is too heavy.

[bmagni]

it looks gooood, for the ones who think that doesnt, have in mind the car is disguised so some parts are not the final ones... duuuhhhh

thanks for the pics

[dons5]

man every Ferrari will look unbelievable, i was just at my new Ferrari dealership in Vancouver, talked to the General manager, there gettin a black 612 and a Red Enzo!!! and an MC12 i couldnt believe it when they said they were gettin the Enzo and MC12

[nurbrun]

it looks like there putting more of a "Enzo influence" into this car. so far it looks pretty sweet :mrgreen:

[callen]

to me, its a 360 with a few styling details of the enzo in the rear. still lots of plastic on the car to camo it but i think we have the final shape. i like it and cant wait to see official photos. when is the release of this car?

[black_magician]

it looks just like a challenge Stradale to me, only with tape. I hope the final product looks a little more innovative.

[hemi_fan]

yeah thanks for the pics mate. IMO the rear bumper is just tooooo big, what you lot think? though i think the rest looks fine n dandy :D

I agree, I dont like the bumper, but the production version will probably be way different. It looks really nice IMO. Is this replacing the 360?? I like how a company as advanced as ferrari covers their car in duct-tape. thats classic. lol

[Caps8419]

the new moror trend w/ some shitty suv's on the cover has a spy pic with the rear uncovered.... its nice and pretty with larger venturi (is that what there called) ducts and tighter holes where the exaust pipes exit..... oh its a pretty car.... and 475 hp!

[oantob]

yeah great car... I hope this is a great replacement for the 360

[dons5]

i wonder how much it weighs, 475, should have like 500 at least lol

[Caps8419]

yea said in motor trend 475 hp.... dunno if thats accurate but sounds about right to me :?

Ferrari's replacement for the 360Modena has come a long way. The vehicle has been anticipated for no less than the past three years. The first prototype mules were sighted in 2002 (engine development mule), 2003 (new headlight and powertrain development car) and earlier this year (new powertrain and chassis under old body with some improvised new exterior features). During all of that period, it remained inconclusive when exactly the new car would debut, and what would be the degree of innovation, between a simple facelift of the current car and a complete redesign.

Only now the first complete prototypes have hit the roads and have been captured on camera. The new car will quite radically depart from the looks of the current 360, with new front and rear ends that are greatly inspired by the mighty Ferrari Enzo. Similar to those on the Enzo, the new headlights will have more angular looks and be stacked vertically, rather than horizontally. The restyled frontal air scoops (now with a curved tear-drop shape) render the front clamshell much cleaner. The rear clamshell is all new, too, and features redesigned engine air scoops, amongst others. The rear lights, newly positioned at the very top edge, are again clearly reminiscent of the Enzo and give the car an entirely new rear aspect and profile.

It is also interesting to note the bulged camouflage and the air scoop between the rear lights. This section of the prototype directly resembles that of disguised Enzo prototypes during the final stages of its development and suggests that the new mid-engine V-8 Ferrari might be equipped with an adjustable rear spoiler, too.

These modifications should be good news for all those who found the appearance of the current 360 Modena too bland, and too compromised by its undoubtedly superior aerodynamic efficiency. The new Pininfarina effort promises to be a much more accomplished blend of a dramatic shape with uncompromised aerodynamics and function.

The innovations will not stop here, though. Extreme ultra-low profile tyres at the front axle are indicative of an upgraded suspension. Modified exhaust pipes (with a tapered, slightly reduced exit diameter) are indicative of the new 4.2-liter V-8 powertrain with further optimized intake and exhaust gas flow and an estimated maximum power figure of 450 hp.

Still unclear remains how the new Ferrari will be called. While the expected engine capacity suggests to a F420 label, it is reported that Ferrari recently has registered the F430 label in a number of key markets. The "Modena" name tag perhaps will be replaced with "Monza" - hence "Ferrari 430 Monza" is one likely possibility.

The new 420/430 coupe is expected to be officially unveiled early in 2005 (Detroit or Geneva motor shows) and on sale in the first half of the year. Interestingly, no prototypes could be spotted yet for the redesigned Spyder version. This supports information according to which the new 420/430 Spyder will debut about a full year after the coupe, in 2006, but then come complete with an all-new retractable hardtop roof. At around the same time, a stripped-out race version of the coupe is expected, very much in the style of the current "Challenge Stradale" model.

Scaglietti Restyle For 360


he controversy over the design of the 612 Scaglietti is still rumbling on, but Ferrari fans had better get used to it - because Auto Express magazine can reveal the bold styling is set to spread.

The mag's exclusive spy shots give the clearest glimpse yet of the replacement for the 360 Modena. And under the plastic disguise are striking headlamps and a daring new look similar to that of its big brother, the 612. Seen in the mag outside the Maranello factory in Italy, the newcomer has kept the overall shape of its predecessor, but is likely to have more dramatic detailing.

As well as the new headlights, the front will be dominated by reshaped air intakes and a more pointed nose. The rear disguise didn't fool our spies, either, as insiders have told us it will get a more muscular shape than that of the 360. Styling house Pininfarina has kept the trademark round rear lamps, while the bulge between them is thought to hide a spoiler which only pops up at speed. A similar hump was seen on the original Enzo prototype.

Under the glass engine cover is a mighty 4.2-litre V8 powerplant, which will deliver 450bhp and give the Ferrari the performance it needs to take on Lamborghini's V10 Gallardo. While the logical name for the 360M's replacement is the 420M (after the engine size), there's some confusion as Ferrari has recently trademarked 430M.

Whatever it's called, the coupé version of the new Ferrari is expected to debut early in 2005, with first deliveries next summer. A year later, the convertible Spider will go on sale, and it's tipped to feature a retractable metal hard-top - a first for Ferrari. Chris Thorp

Thank you for the pics, waiting until september :twisted:

Yip, have to agree. September couldn't come quick enough. I'm pleased to see they've kept similar lines to that of the 360, after all, it was an awesome success!

[ChrisAW11]

Looks very much like a camouflaged baby-Enzo to me...
