Feast your eyes on Ferrari"s all-new F430 replacement! Spied being rolled onto the back of a truck in Italy, these pictures show the Prancing Horse"s new entry-level model ò€“ the F450.
As you can see, the new model looks very different to the current car with a pair of sweeping side air
vents, which have been enlarged to cool the improved engine and brakes.
In
a bid to compete with the Lamborghini Gallardo, the new car will get a larger 4.5-litre V8 engine ò€“ hence the name ò€“ putting out around 500bhp thanks to modified mechanicals including a higher rev limit.
It will also get a new gearbox too, in the shape of the Californiaò€™s seven-speed
double clutch unit. This is likely to modified to suit the mid-engined
carò€™s sportier demeanour.
The F450 may even be the first car to incorporate KERS. Used on Formula One racers, the
kinetic energy recovery system turns energy saved from braking into extra power.
Expect the F450 to make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September with UK sales starting in 2010.
