What a beautiful evolution to the F430. Although the lines are familiar to the outgoing model, it's improved in every possible way, from every angle. Bravo ferrari!

Just Stunning....

 

[a11y]

Wow, stunner

I'll still pass it up though...

 

[ga41]

Also quite like it. Those rear haunches are just drool worthy and with that slender A pillar the glasshouse is elegantly shaped and yet still sporty. Amazing looking car.

 

[Mr Whippy]

Nice form, naff details.

 

[easty027]

i love it. Very nice. The 3 exhausts are a bit different as well.

Nice form, naff details.

Agreed. Hopefully it will look less fussy in production form, like the headlights. imo.

good find mike,

 

[Spud]

The back 3/4s & haunches sort of area looks a little Lambo ish. It's a great looking car

 

[a11y]

That's just gone right to the top of my "lottery winner" list...

The best looking Ferarri of recent times IMO.

[Mr Whippy]

Looks nice!

Some of those transitions are a bit poor though, looks like interference but it's just not... feels like 2003 ish with 5th Gear trying to copy Top Gears interesting effects, but badly
