Looks more like the 360 now

I wouldn't mind that engine being dropped into the road going 430, getting a few bits of CF on it, and losing a bit of weight .... sounds like a 430 CS I can't fucking wait

I think so. It's no Stradale, the road version, but a race version of F430.

...the "Challenge grill" effect doesn't work so well, does it?

I was expecting more modifications. :roll:

I hope the 430CS will be "more racing" than the standard F430.

And what about specs ???

Wow - this means Ferrari is in the game again At last they will have a car that can almost take on BMW's M5

If only they would fix the rear end, I'd be happy to have one. The only change it really needs is for those Enzo-esque taillights to be dropped a couple of inches and the sheetmetal above to be smoothed over...more 360-esque, but better looking.

Plastic is pretty light.....

As for the back I don't mind it, I wish the grill was a bit more controlled, but it seems to make the car look a little wider. The scrunched up thing wasn't as noticable in person, but the 430 still looks a little tall in the rear.

I think someone posted a pic(might have been on FerrariChat) where they extended the small grill part on F430 coupe and it did wonders, it looked like it had a much wider stance, this seems to have had the same effect. I'd prefer something in between when they eventually come out with the CS though.
