Hmmm.. lots of 360 there ... could this be an older picture, maybe of the 360stradale development car

The lights look like the ones posted as the 430/420 in the other topic.... who know what the final car will look like

Well...as I understand it, the new 420/430 is supposed to be more of an evolution of the 360 than anything else...a mid-life update if you wish. Any way you look at it, I'm sure it'll be a stormingly fast performer and I'd wager it'll look better than the 360 which apart from the Stradale model doesn't do much for me (it looks more Japanese than Italian to my eyes)

Yes its like what happened with the 348/355 , the 355 is basically the same car cosmetically

Exactly...though in the case of the 360 there is some architecture that is merely an evolution of that in the F355 as well...so the new 420/430 will probably share some links all the way back to the 348.

I thought that was the case until the Gallardo came out. Then Ferrari decided they needed to up the ante a bit?

A 360 is already a killer car, but a 360 with a bigger displacement V8 MAGIC, I just hope that they dont try to turn it into a grand tourer, by making it to heavy and softening the chasis too much.
