First pics of the F450
Discussion
I nicked this from another site, I thought it might be of interest to you guys.
First pics of F450 just appeared on leftlanenews:
[I]The first spy-photos of the real prototype of the forthcoming Ferrari F450 have emerged – and the car photographed doesn’t wear an inch of disguise! While some of the body pieces are missing on this prototype, a large portion of the production sheet metal is clearly visible!
Boasting over 500hp, the F450 is rumored to have a higher power output than the 520-hp F430 Scuderia. Ferrari will use the same double-clutch gearbox from the California for the F450 to double-up with the envisaged 4.5-liter V8. How the global financial difficulty has affected the scarlet marque will be seen in the F450 through possible technologies like a road car version of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems).
Ferrari has apparently code-named the car F142 and it is expected to make its first public showing at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009. Deliveries would then commence just over a year from now.[/I]
The mid section reminds me of a Zonda

Great stuff, looks like they may start making good looking cars again. F430 was always a "blinged up" F360 in my eyes.First pics of F450 just appeared on leftlanenews:

As said on the other thread, it looks the spitting image of the aborted NSX concept. Very nice looking Ferrari though, as always.
What do you mean as always? Their last 2 sports car efforts have been ugly as sin and screamed "designed for fat Americans", with the California they didnt even bother at any pretence.This is a return to form, one could almost be forgiven that Ferrari had forgotten what proper curves were in the last 15 years.
