While other manufacturers...
While other manufacturers were struggling in 2008, Ferrari posted record profits of Ò£305 million, so it can afford to keep the new models coming! And hereò€™s the most eagerly anticipated of the bunch, the replacement for the F430, codenamed the F142.
Our photographers caught this chassis-testing mule out in the open and already thereò€™s a number of giveaways about the newcomerò€™s layout. Bigger side air intakes will add a dash of drama to the styling and help cool the enlarged engine, while a large central exhaust just below the number plate should provide a sublime soundtrack.
A modified front wheelcase also suggests that the F142, rumoured to be called the F450, will have a different wheelbase too. But weò€™ll have to wait at least a year before we get our first official glimpse.
