The 360 Stradale is one of my favorite cars of all time. Reviewers raved it was the best 360 and some said the best Ferrari ever. The F430 has come and blown this car away, according the reviwers .So the STRADALE (which simply means "street" in Italian) 430 should be just incredible, beyond words. HEre are spy pics.
My thoughts? The bodykit looks correct, I am sure they will use different wheels. Those look like the wheels on the 350 Stradale.
BTW, this car will be lighter and more harder edged than the F430 with slightly more power.

This model is meant to be tracked.... i don't think they'd make a spider edition of it cuz convertibles generally aren't meant for racing.... although the F50, being a targa, was a BEAST.

... theres a softer F430 berlinetta for those that do not care about performance but more about status and look at me benefits of owning a ferrari.
Ill just say it. Sports cars that are converted into convertible are an abomination in my eyes. Why hell get a convertible sports car? bah! cars that are designed this way from the beginning I dont judge as harshly... but I wish there was an S2000 coupe for example.

*on a similar note. My cousin and I went cruising in downtown La Jolla this past weekend. While we were leaving we ran into an F430. Lined up with him at a light and smoked his @SS!!
What did you expect...we were in his E55 that just had an upgraded ECU installed

I think the BBS CH rims are available for the GS430, you can find them from Tire Rack :

That thing is going to be amazing... if its even possible to improve over the new F430 as it is.
Majority of the time, converting a car to convertible is gonna hurt its racing potential. But besides the F50 that someone pointed out, the Carerra GT is no slacker either. The Koenigsegg is targa too or am i wrong?
