Ferrari F142 spy shots

Well at least they can't worse that the ricey Lexus-style exhausts on the California.

wait for that, these could be "fake" as well, a common disease these days.

[Dino Scuderia]

Really looking forward to this car.

BTW, Leon, when will we see more 599xx's?

Good question.
Afaik, the project was still under completion a couple of months ago or so, Michelotto was going to finish it, so I think there could be more at the end of summer, perhaps the the usual Finali Mondiali event.
Right now I don't have a clue on what's going on there, my source has less contact with Ferrari now.

It looks smaller and lower.....FINALLY!!
Exhaust pipes remind me of F40, it would be great if it uses a V8 with TurboCharge.

I have a question (maybe its off topic), some ppl said Ferrari and Michelotto are going to develop F430 GT1 for 2010 FIA GT World championshipship....any sources indicate this?

If you browse the internet you get conflicting info regarding the F430 replacement. Some say it will be a 4.5L V8 while others say it will be a 5.0L V8. No one is absolutely sure at this stage but it will be interesting if Ferrari attempt to match the HP of the Lambo Galardo (560HP). Getting close to 560HP from a 4.5L V8 will be no easy task without turbos. (Please Ferrari, no turbos). I would go with a 5.0L V8 to distance the F430 replacement further from the engine of the California (4.3L V8). How about calling it the F508 (just like the good old days of the 308)

Maybe that'd bring the car too close to the 599 in performance, and that would pose Ferrari another problem. I think that the Dino series and the California are different enough to not need that much of a power gap between them.

This should be a 4.7 (not so sure).

Ferrari releases schedule never changes.

[LeonOfTheDead]

expect the real deal (although slightly photoshopped as usual) pretty soon

[LeonOfTheDead]

some more

[LeonOfTheDead]

no more

[Soloracer]

I expect nothing shy of the most ugly car ever produced after seeing the 612 and California. That said they both look better in person. And no one point out that this car is in camo, I know that.

[Rasmus]

Studying the pics, trying to subtract the camo, I think I'm going to like this one.

[LeonOfTheDead]

I'm afraid of those headlights, and of those huge rear view mirrors.
