I guess they figured they didn’t get it exactly right the first time because spy shots of Ferrari’s new F430 offer a view of a newer version.
The photos released sent out a lot of speculation about the vehicle, but it seems the specs are still the same (which is the best part for this doozie). The new Ferrari F430 is a step in the right direction for new supercars.
The F430 has rearranged part placement (rumoured compact front-end engine), pumped up some of the features and gone the way of the green. Ferrari’s F1 racing technology will be featured in the new edition which means the radiator positioned ahead of the front wheels, understeer-canceling software and an upgraded traction control, all to go along with a new lighter-aluminum chassis.
The green kicker comes in with potential hybrid features such as stop-start and energy recovery technology. While all this is still speculation so far, it’s not the craziest idea in the world.
