Ferrari F430 - media pics
Ferrari has released some pictures of the Ferrari F430.
(below you can see the pics)
The number refers to the cylinders of the V8: 4,3 litre. It produces 490 bhp which is 114 bhp/litre and it gives a power to weight ratio of 2,8 bhp/kg.
It has an electronic differential and a system with which you can adjust damper settings with buttons on the steering wheel. This system is called "marinetto". The gearbox will shift gears in 150 msec, accelerate from 0-100 in 4,0 sec to a top speed of 315 km/h.
In comparison the Lamborghini Gallardo will do it in 4,2 sec and to a top speed of 309 km/h and the Porsche 911 Turbo in 4,2 sec with a top speed of 305 km/h.
Looks like Ferrari has got another winner on their hands!

A bit small to be 100% sure, but those are not pics of a real car IMO...
Any high-res?

I don't have any bigger ones, I got them from a dutch carsite http://www.autoweek.nl/newsdisp.php?cache=no&ID=2693
As for the pictures, I do think they are real, I got to admit they are small but I think it's the real deal!

Dunno.. look at those front lights and air vents.. they just look fake.. it seems just a good render to me.. even the shadows seems wrong.. maybe it's just me...

I've checked it out at the site of Auto Motor und Sport and they have the same news including a couple of new pics.
I have got to admit that these are probably not real pictures. If you look at the seats in the 3rd picture, they just doesn't look real. But I can't get around that this will be the final looks of the car.
In that case I really like it. I've had my doubts about the rear, but seen from this angle it looks really cool. But F430 on the side mirror? hmm, not really my taste.

That is like all the Ferrari media pics. The Enzo were in the exact same style and the car looks just like the pics from Mexico and more importantly like the Ferrari private unveiling.
I think it looks awesome.

Yes it looks the same as the one in mexico , the car is truly dissapointing , love the F430 logo tho , it remings the F40 ones , but a logo in the mirrors ? that is not good

Hi budagboy2, I can't see the pictures either, but I can't figure out why it isn't working. Does everyone has the same problem and pasts the url or can you see all the pics?

What about this one ?
Quote from supercar forums
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 thingypit. The back is enzo - like and the front too (notably the lights). Power to weight ratio is equal to that of a CS.
