F450 spied without camo!

First pics of F450 just appeared on leftlanenews:

The first spy-photos of the real prototype of the forthcoming Ferrari F450 have emerged – and the car photographed doesn’t wear an inch of disguise! While some of the body pieces are missing on this prototype, a large portion of the production sheet metal is clearly visible!

Boasting over 500hp, the F450 is rumored to have a higher power output than the 520-hp F430 Scuderia. Ferrari will use the same double-clutch gearbox from the California for the F450 to double-up with the envisaged 4.5-liter V8. How the global financial difficulty has affected the scarlet marque will be seen in the F450 through possible technologies like a road car version of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems).

Ferrari has apparently code-named the car F142 and it is expected to make its first public showing at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2009. Deliveries would then commence just over a year from now.

Here is the article on Left Lane News.

EDIT: Here are the pics from Left Lane News:

Looks like it's got more stupid bug-eye tail lights.

 

[YSSMAN]

None of your pics are working. How about this?



Cool?

=-=-=-=

I read the thread title and thought we were talking about the F-450. My mind is officially shot.

 

[Jim Prower]

Well, no camo, yes. but there's bodywork missing, too.

I too can only see YSSMAN' pic. The roof line reminds me of a Zonda. Let me guess, they haven't dicided on wheels yet?

I was thinking the exact same thing. It should be interesting to see what it is going to look like once it is officially released.

 

[Philly]

My first thought when I saw that was "I see a lot of Zonda in there."

Way cool.

 

[Hyst]

My first thought when I saw that was "I see a lot of Zonda in there."

Way cool.

My first thoughts as well.

I wish I had a little Zonda in me.

 

[Alex.]

Roofline belongs to Pagani, but looks brilliant! 👍

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Sorry about the duff images, the thread they were in got moved after I had linked them.

I like it from what I can see. It looks more like a supercar should look (interesting roofline, 'better' curves)

 

[TheCracker]

Look's nice, much more svelte than the rather chunky F430.

 

[exigeracer]

Eeeew. Looks like one of those icky pre-Enzo "F60" concepts. Can't pass judgement until the release, though.

 

[Tornado]

I still can't understand why Ferrari thinks that tail light design is nice. Next thing you know its going to be sitting on a stalk.

 

[Giancarlo]

Looks more like a Spyker than a Pagani to me.

 

[MarinaDiamandis]

Looks more like a Spyker than a Pagani to me.

The front end is Aileron-ish. Good call!

 

[peeweegary]

side profile reminds me of the mclaren F1

 

[Keef]

Are those scoops behind the side windows going to be air intakes or more weirdo flying buttresses?

 

[JCE]

Looks kind of gross from that angle...

 

[J-PaP]

Wow. The car looks way thinner and lightweight than its predecessor. I just hope they don't ruin the rear like they did with the california and make it too busy/plastic. The side profile though is perfect.

 

[Jay]

Looks to me they added a bunch of 'california' into it, not sure if I like it from what I see, but I am sure it'll wear on me.

 

[mPWRD]

god... looks like the bastard love child of an f430, california and an f430. they've just cut bits off other cars and pasted them together with mashed potatoes... i'm pretty sure that's just a distracter.

 

[Jim Prower]

An F430 twice? O_o

 

[Paulie]

Am I the only one seeing Evora in it?

 

[Leonidae]

^ blasphemy. Evora is prettier than any FIAT.. er, Ferrari..

 

[Paulie]

^ blasphemy. Evora is prettier than any FIAT.. er, Ferrari..

Says who?

 

[Philly]

Here is what AutoExpess thinks it'll look like:

If it does look like that, Wow...

 

[MCubed]

Eww, the grille. The combination of grille and lights looks more Lamboish.

 

[Philly]

Lol. The grille looks a lot like the F430. And if those lights resemble any current car, it'd be the new Saleen thing. I think it's pretty clearly not a Lamborghini.

And keep in mind this is just a guess. AE didn't have any pictures of the grille to go off of for the rendering AFAIK.

 

[MCubed]

The grille looks more like a Gallardo, and the lights just don't look Ferrari.
