mi piacerebbe vederla la stessa foto con la targa, che dovrebbe alleggerire la parte nera...

Comunque io ho sempre sentito V8 3.6 che fa 450cc di cilindrata unitaria.

Ed ecco spiegato il nome 450 o F450...

Ferrari will unveil its F430 replacement at Frankfurt in October, giving its biggest-selling model a life of just five years.

Code-named Ferrari F142 and expected to be christened Ferrari F450 in production, the new V8-powered car will be largely new, with few carryover components in the chassis or bodywork.

While it was only released in 2004, the Ferrari F430’s chassis was heavily based on the 360 Modena whose parts dated back to 1999.

Production of F430s has slowed recently, ahead of the F450’s start-of-production in July. Insiders who have seen the F450 insist it is one of the most beautiful Ferraris in years.

While details on the car are scant, it will run an enlarged version of the F430’s V8, equipped with direct injection giving an output of more than 500bhp from its 4.5-litre capacity, hence the F450 moniker.

The transmission will be a variant of the seven-speed dual-clutch system shared with the new California.

Linked to Ferrari’s steering-wheel mounted ‘manettino’ control, the dual-clutch transmission promises drivers a choice between quick sporty changes and relaxed automatic operation.

Ferrari has been working hard on weight reduction with its suppliers and the F450 is expected to take Alcoa’s advances in aluminium chassis technology to new heights.

Sources also suggest the F450 is already as fast around the Fiorano test track as the compromise-free F430 Scuderia.

But it will also ride more firmly than the Ferrari California, leaving buyers in no doubt about the focus of either car.

European Ferrari F450 sales are expected to begin late this year or early in 2010.

l'altro ieri ho visto per strada una 430 con posteriore semicamuffato (c'era scotch e mancava totalmente l'estrattore) con targa prova...

Sempre da Autocar:

"Here are the first pictures of the replacement for the Ferrari F430, which will go on sale next year badged as an F450.

Although this car uses a F430 body, underneath are the mechanicals for the F450. The car has a wider track and a different wheelbase to the 430, evident from the extended wheelarches and the way the front wheels don’t fit the wheelarch properly.

At the rear there’s a mix of 430 and 430 Scuderia panels. The 430’s quad tailpipes have been replaced by the Scuderia’s higher-mounted twin pipes, but there is also a single centrally mounted pipe – this is probably the real tailpipe. The filler cap has also moved from the left to the right.

There are also new intakes on either side of the rear screen to provide the new engine with air. This is thought to be a development of the 430’s V8, enlarged to 4.5-litres and potentially with up to 500bhp.

The transmission will be a version of the California’s seven-speed double clutch unit, but expect it to be retuned to suit the mid-engined car’s harder, sportier feel.

The gappy, poorly fitting 430 panels are providing a temporary covering for the new car’s aluminium frame. Developed by aluminium specialists Alcoa, which builds the 430’s frame, it will help to cut the 450’s weight, which will in turn increase the car’s performance and economy.

The 450 could also use a version of Ferrari’s kinetic energy recovery system developed for F1 use. The firm wants to introduce the technology to one of its road cars within two years. "

Mi domando da dove saltasse fuori la sicurezza che sarebbe stato un 3.8 biturbo, che se il marketing e la storia ferrari non sono una opinione, sarebbe stata una cubatura illogica. Dato il normale rapporto aspirati/turbo della produzione normale a benzina (circa 0,65-0,7:1 come cilindrate) il downsizing giusto sarebbe stato attorno a 3 litri, massimo 3200.

Ciò detto, gli spifferi che sarebbe stato un aspirato c'erano e parecchi.
