    The new one will be very nice. None of them will be investments. The notion that a production Ferrari will ever again be an investment is silly.

    Here is a video, with so info a pic of the rumoured F430 replacement, which i thought everyone might like to see. And Fchat gets internet air too, and may i add that Alex Gizela is looking hot as ever too.

    P.S. It's in the internet rumour mill at the end of the video, so unless your intrested about an old Citroen and the designer of BMW leaving. Oh yeah and a fast Ford thats only coming to Europe, So HA lol j/k. But on the other hand apparently the Nissan GT-R Spec-V is coming to left hand drive market.

    Wrong link posted. Try this one...

    http://www.fastlanedaily.com/episode/fld_20090203

    Based on their comments, I think they're getting their info from this thread:

    http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=228926

    Just what we need. Rumor threads started on Fchat, based on second-hand info off fastlanedaily, that were driven by posts first made here anyway. Talk about circular. :D

    I'm pretty sure that pic is some concept car that floated around from some design exercise.

    Best to ignore what's out there, the real scoop on Ferraris starts here. ;)

    Ferrari's 6-year replacement cycle hints the Italian supercar brand is preparing to launch the successor to the successful F430 which first launched in 2004. The new car may be shown officially for the first time in October this year.

    Rumour has it the sports car will be powered by a larger 4.5-litre V8 engine resulting in the new model adopting the F450 label. Like the F430 before it, the F450 would eventually come in a number of variants, including a Scuderia, a Spider and a Challenge. The picture from our files is an artist's rendition of what a possible pre-production concept of the model may look.

    Sources claim European sales of the F450 would begin in January 2010.

    'Begin' is not the most sensible word given all the previous threads including this today

    http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showpost.php?p=138393176&postcount=4

    which suggests that like so many articles it is circular and is echoed by the comment near the bottom of yours which too implies they've recycled one or more previous thread here to make a (non-) story

    Shall we open a sweep on how many similar threads get started over the next few days ?

    Check out the new issue of Forza pg 14....article on Massimo Fumarola (Director of Product Development). Look at the photo of him looking at a rendering of a car. is it the new 430 replacement? you only can see the grill and headlights, but it sure looks like the 430 family.

    The photo the guy is holding in his hand is very interesting. Better to ask either Napolis or Icemanbobs (Mike) how correct the photo is.
