From the owners' site:

Ferrari is proud to present its clients with another World Premiére - the new F430 Spider, details of which you can find inside the site.

483 bhp and a top speed of over 192 mph (310 km/h) are just a couple of figures that underline the significance of this new car that will be officially presented to the press and public at Geneva from the 3rd to the 13th of March. If you would like to visit Ferrari's stand at the show to see the car personally, please fill in the on-line form.

As for the berlinetta, the F430 Spider version features advanced aerodynamics developed in collaboration with the F1 team, while the shape of the car recalls Ferrari's 1961 racing models - in particular the 156 F1 winner of that year's title driven by Phil Hill. More hints at the car's F1 pedigree can be seen in the adoption of the electronic differential (E-Diff), the starter button and the steering wheel-mounted commutator switch, the manettino, that governs the car's set-up.

The F430 Spider boasts a compact, fully automatic electric hood that takes up relatively little space, despite the uncompromising central-rear engine layout.

Here some other info (actually not so differnet to Nuno's post, but nevertheless worthwhile reading):

Ferrari’s range of V8-engined sports cars will be joined by the new F430 Spider when it is unveiled at the Geneva Show (3-13 March 2005).

Ferrari’s new drop-top includes a number of important technical features which give hints of the car’s F1 pedigree, starting with the innovative electronic differential - first developed by the racing division for the Scuderia’s all-conquering F1 cars – which improves traction and roadholding under all conditions. The Spider also features the steering wheel-mounted commutator switch, known to the Scuderia’s drivers as the ‘manettino’, which allows the car’s set-up to be adjusted easily and quickly.

Formula 1 is thus again the inspiration for the development of the company’s road cars. Designed by Pininfarina, the F430 Spider’s sinuous lines, in fact, were fine-tuned using state-of-the-art computer aerodynamics simulation programmes usually employed exclusively by the F1 team.

The F430 Spider’s shape is the result of lengthy testing and features a pronounced nolder which is integrated into the end of the engine cover, new bigger rear air intakes that emphasise the car’s muscular stance, and a new rear valance that incorporates a diffuser of competition derivation. The engine itself is attractively set below a glass cover.

Just like the berlinetta, the new Spider incorporates two elliptical air intakes that feed the front radiators. The shape of the intakes is inspired by Ferrari’s racing cars from the 1961 season, especially the 156 F1 which Phil Hill drove to that year’s F1 Championship title. The spoiler that joins the two intakes at their bottom edge is highly effective in directing the central air flow towards the flat underbody.

The F430 Spider boasts a compact, fully automatic electric hood that allows the engine to be seen in all its glory at all times and which, once lowered, takes up relatively little space, despite the uncompromising central-rear engine layout.

The F430 Spider is powered by Ferrari’s new 490 hp, 4,308cc 90° V8 which is capable of pushing the car to a top speed of over 310 km/h (over 193 mph) and covering the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint in just 4.1 seconds. This lightweight and highly compact power unit produces a specific output of 114 hp per litre with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.9 kg (6.4 lbs) per horsepower (dry weight).

I'm not a big fan of cabrios. I really prefer the coupe versions, but this one looks good. The photos with the grey one are amazing.

But what I'm really waiting for is the CS version :P Can't wait to see the first oficial photos....

dang I should have started saving photos from the end rather than the beginning of the thread...
awesome photos tho. the car looks so sweet. I do kinda think its weird how the bulges in the rear bonnet aren't centered on the roll bars but offset to the outside. Odd choice

Actually those are cues of heritage (originally found on the 1961 250TRI), but I gotta agree with you that they're the only bit I don't like on the 430 (still I live the car even with those )
