It's simply gorgeous but I'll still say the 360 Modena has been the best car Ferrari has made to-date.

[skyline_r34v]

0-60 is only at a 3/10ths of a second faster than the 360 Modena. With weight cut off 40lbs and has over 100hp more you'd expect alot better numbers than that. I'm somewhat disappointed in the performance of it.

[cstavaru]

Come on...0-60 in 3.9 seconds is anything but disappointing

Also, obtaining close to 500hp from a 4.3liter engine...not really disappointing...

I also like how they manage to retain all the beauty of 360 in this successor car...unlike other manufacturers that alter the car's looks in a bad way on newer models. I mean, BMW and Porshe design is controversial on the newer models, while Ferrari is still gorgeous as ever

[LateNightCable]

Ferrari has been controversial before, they're just learning how to combine their trademark design cues, with their own eccentric tendencies in a harmonious way now. There is a fair amount of Enzo influence in there, but not too much. The ride height is pretty friggin' extreme isn't it? Pull up to Pizza Hut in that - Scraaaatch!

Hopefully the larger engine will lend itself to a throatier exhaust note than in the past.

i think it is the best looking thing to come out ferrari in a while. The 575MM never really brought everything together, the 10' wheelbase of the 612 makes it awkward in proportion and gawky, the Enzo looks like a humbolt squid. This thing is truly beautiful in every way. I'd be willing to bet it knocks off a 3.5 0-60 run. When the Gallardo first came out, they were floating numbers like 4.5-4.6, motortrend tested it in italy to a best a 4.8, dismal. This year they are getting like 3.8 from it. My guess is the sound for this thing will split the difference between the melodious thrum of the maserati and the high pitch scream of the 360.

wanna hear it?

really kind of rough sounding. It has that real hard rasp to it, very metallic too. It sounds pretty ok, i'd have to hear it drive by to really make any judgement.

Exactly...Sound when it comes to real driving might give completely different impression.

[thepolarfoxqx]

with the exception of maybe a soft screaming V12 or a big-bore V8 burbling on idle, not many cars sound half as good sitting still as they do accelerating by. Atleast mine don't

Hallo cstavaru,

 

schau doch mal hier zum Thema Zubehör für Ferrari 430 (Anzeige)? Eventuell gibt es dort etwas Passendes.

[All Wheel Drive]

My opinion is that the sound of the exhaust won't differ so much from the F360 is they don't want to. The F430 will spin at around 8500 like the 360 does, so if the exhaust won't differ much, the sound won't do either.

[thepolarfoxqx]

It is a very different engine to my understanding. This new engine isn't a modification to the old 3.6, but in fact just an uptweaked version of the maserati 4.2L, which is a much smoother sounding car. We'll have to see, it will probably split the difference.

[All Wheel Drive]

This new engine isn't a modification to the old 3.6,

Not what I wanted to say. I thought if the engine spin at the same rev and they have the same configuration (V8), they should give the same sound. For example, the F1 engines are all 3.0L V10 with around 900hp and spin at 18000revs , so, all have the same sound.

[thepolarfoxqx]

point taken.

but BMW's new M3 is powered by a 4.0L V8 that is also 90 degrees, and will spin 8,500 revs, in your opinion, will that also sound like the ferrari 360 and 430?

Actually, I don't think they would sound quite the same. If BMW keeps on using the Double VANOS that's actually on the E46 engine, the sounds of those V8s (from BMW and Ferrari) could very well be different through the rev range, even if both will finally spin at 8.5k.

Of course, I could very well be wrong as I don't know much about the mecanics of an engine.

But this could be a long discussion with many supposition, cause we actually don't know what technologies both manufacturers with use on their engines.

[thepolarfoxqx]

very true, good point.

it'll be interesting to see how close we were when they both come out.

[All Wheel Drive]

i'm feeling good u are giving me "good points" : yep, we'll wait and see .

[thepolarfoxqx]

i fail to follow you. it's all opinion and conjecture at this point.

[All Wheel Drive]

Well, there's nothing to follow . I'm not experienced with cars, that's why I'm glad there's one who agrees with me.

Nice to see a piece of video finally...It seems to be official and definitely worth downloading..

Watch

just in case you're curious what will the CS version of the 430 be like...its specs tend to be following : 530hp,510nm (regular F430 490hp,465nm)

But do not expect it soon it won't arrive before 2007.

[wEstSide]

Wow, Ferrari is putting down some real big numbers there, they've really upped the ante for Lamborghini.

[LateNightCable]

Upping the ante alright, though I must say, when considering raw numbers, an expected top speed of under 200 mph. and 0-60 in 4 seconds seems a little under-whelming considering the power on tap, though hardly slow. But that engine is really something.

[bleh]

o man that thing is sexual. maybe the expected performance numbers are subpar just so there would not be a let down, should they not fulfill their goals. it is easier to be happy with a more modest goal.

...but one would be happier completing a more outrageous goal.
