Z06 is a great car, but the Ferrari is a Dream car. Hell, give me one of each.

Corvette Z06 is faster and better than an F430.

Yeah yeah, you like Corvettes… but that’s the most stupid comparison I’ve ever heard.

Nice rear diffuser. I would like to see the exhaust on the rear plexiglass.

I’m sure it will be fast as hell, but I’ve never really like the styling of the F430. The F360 was beautiful. The F430 always struck me as the 360’s fatter, uglier, sister.

^ ah i see we have another blind fool and a vette fanboy.
F430 is the best ferrari ever and thats saying something Ferrari are the kings and the vette couldnt even dream of becoming as legendary or with as much history as Ferrari.
the current F430 is much better to drive than pretty much anything else so i cant imagine what this thing is going to be like.

It is too puffy and clumsy looking to be a Ferrari. I bet it’s the McLaren F2 test mule. Oh wait, the F430 is bland and awkward looking even with a 200 lb weight loss.

“lamborghini is a lot more expensive than the f430″

Well equipped the Gallardo isn’t that much more than a F430 and since we’re talking about the Challenge Stradale, it’s probably more than the Gallardo. I gotta give props for Ferrari this time for continuing to make pure performance models like this.

Lamborghini still looks better though…

Sharif, the exhaust won’t be chrome, chrome adds weight, the exhaust is ti for a reason, yes they will look better though. And don the exhaust is there because on the challenge race cars if the exhaust was where it normally is and somebody bumped the back corner of the car, which happens alot, the exhaust would get mashed up you would lose performance because it would get restricted. By moving it to the middle you get a more straight-through exhaust that you don’t have to worry about on the track. Function over form, the way it should be.

with regard to the exhaust looking ugly the production version will probably/hopefully be in chrome and hopefully they will be larger

The rims on this f430 CS are not the rims that are going to be on the production one (there just test wheels). The production ones are going to be the rims that are on the f430 challenge race car, only with the the 5 bolt design. And just like the other guy said, the f430 is a crazy fast and good car, so just imagine what this car is going to be like. As for looks, Its still a good looking car. Its all about the function, not how pretty it is.Cant wait to see the final production version.

it really sucks they couldn’t use a center bolt. thoose look so good on cars like this

By: Bertjan

Bertjan — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 09:18:22 +0000

Those Rims look pretty much as the ones at the previous CS, except for the Ferrari emblem as pointed out. And these more extreme versions are not in the first place made to be beautiful; those exhausts are located their not to look good, but for pure functional purposes. And to me, that makes it cool again

and Don.. its obvious that finishing touches have yet to be put on the car. The exhausts will look better, and the rims will be more attractive with things like the ferrari emblem and such tacked on.

Still believe those taillight nacelles are one of those details that look better in renderings than real life…

The 308-style black-out panel does not help to intergrate them in the least.

They are like that mole on Jessica Simpson…

I have been looking for a reason to say this for a couple of weeks now and I finaly found a topic that was relevant…

One of my clients came in a couple of Saturdays and let me drive his F430. Now I have driven a lot of hot cars but that was by far the most exciting car I have ever driven. Just totally amazing vehicle.

I can’t imagnie a track version of that car with more power and less weight.

ew.. ugly rims and the exhausts are too small now, and in the wrong place. No thanks
