Details may be few and far between, but speculate is rampant on the upcoming successor to the Ferrari F430. The Prancing Horse rarely produces concept cars, but when it does, they make 'em count. So expect some of the green concessions from the Mille Chili concept to appear in the new mid-engine supercar, internally code-named project F142. The car is likely to feature the direct injection and dual-clutch transmission which debuted in the California, coupled to a regenerative braking system which the company developed in partnership with sister company Magneti Marelli. The supercar, which could pick up the F450 or F470 nameplate depending on the displacement of its high-revving V8 engine (with the possible addition of a turbo or two) is expected to be even lighter than the 430 Scuderia's mill. However, don't expect a Spider version to follow: that mantle's been taken up by the front-engine California. That's about all we can say with or without any degree of certainty at this point, but reports peg the car's debut in October of this year making the Frankfurt Auto Show a likely venue for the unveiling with deliveries beginning at the start of next year.
How much does it cost to develop a car into a spider? Will the profit from a spider overcome the costs to develop it, after accounting the possible losses in sales of the california? food for though.
Ofcourse there will be a new Ferrari soon as there is such every year. (All new, Spider, Modificata, light weight) It´ll be the 430 succesor and we might see it in Paris in October. Expect around 1400 kg kerb and +530 Hp. One thing is for sure - the will be a Spider in 2010 or 2011. Demand for coupe/spider is like 25/75 depending on where in the world we are. Production figurees though are more like 50/50

it won't be that ugly lol. Axel, you're photo editting software or browser or something is broken. I can't imagine SCN is doing that to pics... radom pics as test
but it could be your browser? or your pc at the moment you're saving the images to your harddrive. I've had images break down during saving before. it doesn't happen to me...
same browser as before, no changes at all also, when you see this broken pics too, could be your browser´s fault as well, right? definatly SCN´s fault, I give up see: >>> www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=5&fID=1&tID=170331
