430 Modena

[nejcdolinsek]

I got this off of Supercars.net:

4re4ever :

"Car was presented to a select group of customers in Maranello on tuesday 20th july. Called the 430 Modena, it weighs in at 1350 kg dry and has 490 bhp (euro). It has an electronically controlled diff that the driver can adjust from the cockpit. The back is enzo - like and the front too (notably the lights). Power to weight ratio is equal to that os a CS.

CCM brakes are an option.

Price is 360 Modena + 4%

First deliveries in Europe April '05.

Spider and Challenge race car in about 1 yr

CS version not yet decided.

Look for new "stradale" version of the 575.

All above FACT - not supposition.

430 was presented by Luca di M, Todt, Schumacher, Barichello, and Badoer

Some times:

3.95 : 0-60MPH
9.20 : 0-100MPH
21.4 : 0-150MPH
12.18 @ 118MPH 1/4 Mile
"

I'm sure you've seen these pics of it:

From what I see, they're REAL!

That car looks all messed up!...its suprisingly out of proportion. :shock:

Despite its 'oddly' enzo like physical appearance, this car looks to be a stunner in performance. Btw, how is it possible that a CS version be made for a 575?... was there such a event dubbed as 575 challenge? Please fill me in!...

according to autospies.com the photo of the rear is correct, but the front apparently looks like this (which looks WAY better!)

I wasnt sure before but i think the top pics are real, a fair few magazines in the uk have photoshopped cars looking similar if not identical to that one so it cant be far off. I like it, the front sort of all points to the centre making it look very agrressive, yet its all curves n very beautiful ;)

According to Auto Express,
It will have a 4.3 litre, 500 bhp :D V8, which debuted in a Maserati coupe.

It will also have 19-inch wheels and prices start at £103 275.00

from spy pics i've seen i think the picture of the front is wrong, but the rear seems quite accurate, although i still believe the posted one is a photoshop. only way to find out the truth is to wait for it's release :roll:

theres a 575 with GTC package i think thats the closest to it

[HoboPie]

I've seen pictures taken at the unveiling, it looks like the Mexico pics. The back looks fine and the front while still odd seems to have more character. The pic here looks almost like a pshop with no depth or anything.

People went through a lot of work to get the pictures so I'm just going to link to the forums they are on. I know you have to register on one to see the pics. I'm not sure about the second.

Nice stolen pics! for sc.net you don't need to be registered to see them BTW

[Chaos in 1983!]

oh no...I'm sad... :( ...now this is not good...I really don't like the front end...and it's a major dissapointment from Pinninfarina...I have no idea what they were smoking when they designed this...I really hope it looks better in real life...*sigh*

[abbor]

The front is a disappointment, but the back looks alright..

[nejcdolinsek]

Oh, come on guys! Don't be so sad! I bet when the good pics come, it'll be better :D

WOWWW
WOWW
holy shit
that is the first pic i seen of 430

it actually looks good
amazing

[mindgam3]

mmmm i want ;)

[X-ale]

Yo BB2, did the front bumper look nice or even just ok in real life? Cuz those ovals look fugly in the pix.

[stradale]

I love the new front end! It looks better than earlier sketches (or the photoshpooed yellow car in this thread) and the 360. The front was never my favourite piece of the 360. The sharknose on the 430 is fantastic IMO, just like it's headlight units.

Maybe it needs to grow on me, but the rear doesn't look as good as the front IMO. I liked that of the 360 much better. The small grille in the middle is too small and not aggressive enough.

So, my ideal Modena would be one with the 430 front and the 360 rear... :( Damn...

[gigdy]

who got lazy and said hey lets just slap an enzo ass on this. i expect more from them then reaching in the parts bin.

[HoboPie]

I admit the back does look like the Enzo, but this is what they told us they would be giving is as far back as a year ago. Luca de Montezemelo said it would be a mini Enzo.

[jpatino03]

It's gorgeous! The car definitely lneeded an update, pictores of the 360 next to the enzo made it look entirely too conseravtive and soft. I LOVE the new rear end.

Its not stealing, its.... um,... SHARING! :D

[TT]

Now that we know its shape for sure I have to say it is damn gorgeous already to my eyes! not as cool as a 355 but already in front of a 360 in my book!

Now let the official media pics come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm i dunno, they're similar cars but the 360 was soft flowing curves all around. This is flowing curves a a hard edgeyness. I think they're both stunning in their own right.

Can't wait for the media pics too ;)

[Chaos in 1983!]

I really don´t know, but I´m still not convinced about the sharknose...maybe if the nose was a bit more pointed....mmmm....i think it doesn´t looks good....but I´ll wait and see...

I still can´t believe Ferrari was so irresponsable to just drive a tottally non camo car in Mexico...very sloppy IMO...

[bmagni]

the silver looks like a cs version

Well, they almost got away with it, while in Italy after 2 meters the net would have been crowded with 200'000 pics :D

[aks]

front looks great except the front bumper is yet to grow on me but it looks way better than it did in the 'spy pic'. the rear look pretty good, is that an air-brake i see? definately better than the 360 tho! :D

wow, i can't believe i've seen actual pics of the new ferrari 430!!!!! :D :D :D :D

pretty cool! 8)

mmm...well you're probably right...

[coloradosilver]

That front grille looks a lot like that of a porsche with the two large openings on the sides. I really don't like the look of it.

[Zonda11]

Eww...I don't like that enzo knock off back with the 360ish front.

[HeilSvenska]

oh no...they ruined 360...It should have looked like its own car rather than trying to put Enzo elements to it. First 612 and now this...

[ngudan]

I think i figured it out.

Merc SLK = Mclaren Merc SLR for the poor man

Monza 430 = Enzo for the poor man

The 430 is still a very nice car, but its flowing lines will just have to grow further on me. To me, the 360 (esp cs version) is a very beautiful machine.

[JiggaStyles09]

it will grow on you guys who dont like it now i promise :wink:
i like the new headlights, the oval looking cutouts in the front bumper are a bit to be desired but the rest of the car is fine. the back was a little busy for me when i first saw the mexico pics but i like it now, its aggressive looking. and im sure when the press pics are released it will look 10 times better.

[crazidude]

lol when it said the back is like an enzo I was expecting something that looks similar, but not the same. It looks nice, but I was expecting something more creative.

[black_magician]

you know, I like the front end look, kinda like a stretched out 360.

i think the enzo styling should stay where it is (on the enzo).
make something new and impressive, not a re-make.

maybe it'll grow on me, and I still want one :mrgreen:

[SFDMALEX]

I like the rear end I think it looks stunning but the front end needs to go.

[3D_CARD]

490ps is barely enough to fend off Galllardo in stright line, for certain the redesign chassis will be much better than 5 years old 360, I hope ZF's vario ratio electrohydralic steering won't find its way to 430.

I think 490ps is more than enough to beat the Gallardo in a straight line. Remember, the Gallardo is really heavy beacuse of its AWD system but the 430 Modena should be really light. I'm expecting a better power to weight ratio than the Lambo.

[Caps8419]

i dunno yet.... doesnt look that bad but i wish they didnt incorporate the enzo into it.... oh well...still want one!
