I wasn't talking about the Ford F450, I was talking about this Ferrari:


It's called the F450, the successor to the 430.

Anyways, I thought the california was sort of a scaglietti sucessor? Like Scaglietti then Fiorano then California. Guess not. The 599GTB wiki page has a nice categorized timeline at the bottom.


This is what WIki says about an F430 or Enzo sucessor:
"The Millechili (Italian for: one thousand (mille) kilograms (chili)) is a lightweight two-seater loaded with Formula One technology. In many ways it will be a successor to the Enzo, but instead of adding power, Ferrari will subract weight. The Millechili is a derivative of the F430’s aluminum space frame on a slightly longer, 104.3-inch wheelbase. The mid-engine layout will carry a new V10 engine of unknown displacement making upwards of 600 horsepower."

the V10 was an option discussed about 6 months ago or more, for what I know they then discarded it (and also the possibility of another v12 iirc) in favour of the V8 twin turbo.

btw, the Millechili, as already stated, is just the visualization of the idea behind the car, it has the same value of some notes on a toilet paper tbh.

Really? I had no idea!

[culver]

It's not likely to be called the F450 in the US. I'm pretty sure Ford has that trademark.

[f6fhellcat13]

Maybe they'll call it the F458.
45= 4.5L
8=8 cylinders
That's how they used to do it AFAIK.

Leon or anyone else, do we know for a fact the new engine will be a 4.5L? Is it jsut gonna be a bored/stroked version of the current F430's engine?

up to now, the only fact I know for sure it will use an upgraded version of the California's engine. whether that implies a bigger displacement or not, I don't know, need to ask.

Wait, isn't the 4.3L V8 engine of the california the same as the ones from the F430???

the next V8 mid engined Ferrari should use a 4.7 liter version of the California's unit.

[EL Nino]

New spy pics.
A big in the middle Exchaust and very funny openings at back of the car.
For more downforce.

Enjoy!

I would be really disappointed if that were the case. They just decided to put random vents everywhere all over the bumper?

Well don't worry then. Because it won't look anything like that.

Good. Ferrari seems to be gravitating for pretty ugly looking cars. Functional, but still ugly.

[roosterjuicer]

i really wish ferrari would stop with this evolution of the modena for their styling. its getting old and it was never that pretty in the first place f355 was much prettier than the 360 modena.

am i the only person thats getting sick of this body style?
