^^ Exactly, At least Ferrari keeps us a bit wondering how and what, unlike Porsche who unveiled the whole fleet at one go :bah:.
Its the 430 CS, sure of it!

Luca denied that they're realising the Dino...

Well - I bet that the main reason why they've not presented the F430CS yet... is that they'll wait until the sales of the F430 start to slow down  |
Yeah that does sound like a good reason! People will be wanting more exclusivity..

Spyshots from The Car Connection:
  
Update from Autoblog:
While Lamborghini prepares its second Superleggera model, Ferrari is hard at work on its own F430 Challenge Stradale. Spy shots have surfaced of a pair of test mules rallying it up on gravel backroads in preparation for the car's market debut.
The new version picks up where the previous 360 CS left off, turning an already finely-tuned instrument of speed into an even sharper one. Whereas Porsche's RS formula calls for reducing unnecessary weight while leaving the engine in tact, Ferrari's prescription is more closely mimicked by its rivals in Sant'Agata by reducing weight while adding power to further optimize the all-important power-to-weight ratio.
Sources indicate that the formula has changed a bit from the 360 to 430 CS versions: safety standards now mean no plastic windows, and the center-bolted racing wheels are reported to have given way to a more conventional five-bolt set-up. Weight is reduced through the use of carbon fiber in the doors and rear grille, lightweight magnesium rims, and what is sure to be a stripped interior with racing buckets, amounting to an estimated 220-lb weight savings. Power is expected to top 520 hp, and the brakes are tipped to get an upgrade over the "standard" F430, while soft-compound Pirelli PZero rubber should help the car stick better than the Bridgestones its conventional counterpart is saddled with.
After a season spent trimming down and toning up, the F430 Challenge Stradale looks ripe to take on its challengers with explosive speed.

I just hope they cover the regular exhaust exits with something more than black plastic

:roll: Really ? Ferrari does a lot of testing around Modena, an area full of hills and winding roads with very little traffic going on, they have there their own Ring in the hills surrounding the Factory with not so smooth surface :fuck:

Then why do they worry taking their test mules 1200km away from the tuscan hills, to test them at the Ring if that's the same for them
|
Probably because that`s the trend

the challenge grill looks terrible... it doesn't flow well with the rear, or follow any other lines. 
I hope we'll be able to tell the difference between the F430, and CS besides the exhaust placement
