fanboy? hmm.... an odd thing to say here, so perhaps that doesn't fit.
style is an important aspect of any road car. prototype race cars don't live or die by that suite, but non-formula/prototype race series do.
I don't like the cf grill, but I do like the front modifications (ridding of the darkened plastic)
I don't like the mirrors simply being CF coppies of the normal car.... the interior gets the race-ish treatment... nice
but, it still looks like a body-kitted 360

Ferrari has never quoted wet weight for models.. in fact, they TELL magazines what to print for weight for certain models  |
Maybe for the wanky yanky ones.
I think you'll find that every Autocar test has an independant weighing. |
Now whom is following whom?
And for your own reference I (as an example) was reading european sourced car mags not only since before you were born, but also long before I even moved to the US.. so how about taking your "yanky this and that" comments and shoving them up your bleeding vagina.
BTW - have you ever bothered reading and taking note of these "Autocar" weights and then comparing them against Ferraris published weights? I f youever did youmay learn a thing or two.
Now that that is out of the "weigh", there were times in the past where not only did Ferrari simply "pronounce weights" and "declare power outputs" - they also determined whom could and couldn't test what cars and under which conditions.
Not only that, but Ferrari is notorious for providing dry weights for comparisons, while Porsche - as an example is known for almost exclusively providing true wet curb weights.
Exactly what is it that makes you think you are the world fucking authority on everything automotive?

I'm not a fan of those gold wheels. As someone pointed out, they have been on various Ferrari racers in the past, even so, this design just seems a bit too much "Japanese tuner" for a Ferrari. The interior is excellent looking, and I'm sure the performance will be scintillating no matter what the final weight comes to.
Does anyone happen to know of a measured weight of the standard F430?

^ Thanks!

It is designed to completely satisfy the expectations of sporty and passionate customers. Purely as an indication of the superior performance of this car, on the Fiorano circuit the 430 Scuderia records lap times comparable with the Enzo Ferrari, the fastest road-legal supercar ever made by Ferrari.
|
0-60 in less than 3.6 seconds is, I guess, an overestimate again. With launch control, I'm sure it could go in around 3.2. This car is a killer! Although it still won't go beyond 200mph...

Now that I think about it, there were Ferraris with gold wheels before - they were all racing models like the 330 P3/P4, 512S, 312PB, and a couple F1 cars too like the 312B.
Maybe they are trying to re-create elements of their past - like the 360 design is a take-off on the Dino, the 430 nostrils are like the 156 F1 car, etc.

haha, I agree. The front end looks pretty bad in that pic. Oh well, Ferrari's have been getting steadily uglier since the F355 anyway so this just keeps up the trend.
