As I have said before I am on a few Ferrari message boards. One has a few great spy shots, not those bad drawings that have been floating around lol. The car was spotted right by the factory in Maranello last week. The shots were taken with a mobile phone camera so they are not the best, but the car looks great. I am gonna try to see if they will allow me to post the two shots here. The car has the same overall shape of the 360 Modena, but appears to have all new bodywork below the roofline. It even seems to have a Enzo-esque rear end. The engine is said to be a new 4.2 or 4.3 liter unit delevering 480-500 horspower, and weight will be under 3000 pounds so it will be quite a mover. Move over Ford GT and Lamborgini Gallardo! The names being tossed around vary from F420/430, 420/430M Modena, 420/430 Monza to 420/430 Fiorano. It should be making its public debut at one of the upcomming auto shows as a 2006 model year car. I'll keep you all posted as I get new information.

Very exciting :)

Move over Ford GT and Lamborgini Gallardo!

NICE! :D can't wait to see a pic :shock:

well. i'd still take the current 360 modena over these two cars, even tho i really like the ford gt. :mrgreen:

Dark Hunter, igaboj and faisal described my feelings. :D

PS: I have a feeling that the engine is gonna be a piece of art... mind what I said. :wink:

I don't like Ferrari, but the 360Modena is so Beautifull!!

Can't wait either... :D

PS: I have a feeling that the engine is gonna be a piece of art... mind what I said. :wink:

I'd have to agree with you there.
And from what I have read this should be one of most nimble handling and tossable cars to ever come from Ferrari, and that is saying alot. I can't wait to see this baby.

same here :)

I got a spy shot, it's not the better one, I couldn't use it. But a guy sent me this one. You can see if you look carefully underneath all that fake bodywork is almost a whole new body. If you look at the rear of the car you can see the higher placed taillamps like on the Enzo. I have seen a less covered up car in other shots, it looks COOL.

the enzo taillights are nice; and the front bears a very slight resemblance to the 575 maranello... SWEET!!!!! :smt026

I don't know how I feel about it.. :?

Can't wait, can't wait!!!

I don't know how I feel about it.. :?

Same with me, I have never been a fan of the 360, and I only like the CS version :twisted: , so hopefully I will like this one better :)

Very nice, any chance maybe you could post a link to the forum, and then we may be able to find the other pics by searching? or is it a view-by-joining only forum?

Damn black covers :?
Looks the same, except the back

It's actually a pay site, but thats why the information you get is so good.
But I'll try to get new pics as they come, like I said I have seen even better
ones then this shot. The new car looks awesome.

Well look carefully at the shape of the front and back.
Even covered you can tell its been changed. :-)

Thanks for the picture BluCamSS :)

this wat i got wen i searched

this wat it says
Ferrari 420 Modena

Ferrari is now turning its attention to keeping the 360 Modena competitive in the face of new challengers. Spy photos of prototypes circling the Fiorano test track show only slightly modified bodywork but expect to see more extensive modifications underneath the skin when this refreshed Modena goes on sale sometime next year. The most notable change is likely to be the addition of a larger 4.2-liter engine that should cure the Modena's lack of low-end torque.


but i am sure this is the rong one

hmm, nice picture.. but I am not sure thats THE CAR, like you said

This looks like a photoshopped 360 to me.

They even took it out on the street :shock:

They even took it out on the street :shock:

Yeah, they nearly always travel in convoys of support cars and the masked concepts.
It saves money, there are also circuits where many manufacturers pay for the right to test their cars, so that is why you see so many spy shots from regular positions on race circuits.

That is a OLD shot, that is just a test mule for the new engine.

Remember all those bad Photoshops and drawings I told you all about?
Well you guys just posted all of them lol.
Unless you have really bad eyesight you can tell they are just bad Photoshops
of well-known 360 Modena pics....hell that yellow one is from a well known web-site
and has spent many a day on my desktop in unmosested form lol.

I have seen real good shots, the cars body work is like 80% all new and awesome looking! :-)

Yeah good point, those are HEAVILY covered up prototypes. But you can still get an idea of the new more aggressive look.

Yes I see it more clearly now :)

I've seen those, they are actually kinda old lol. Those are actually test mules based on a 360 Modena, from what I have read they are engine test mules.

And even though it is all covered I love the Enzo-look tail lamps!

I just read on my favorite Ferrari board that according to inside sources at Ferrari, the test mules with the new engines are already "surpassing the times of its closest rivals, the Gallardo and GT."

They are shooting for 0-60 in the high 3's, the 1/4 mile in the 12 flat range, and a top speed in the area of 190. Not to mention that the car will handle and brake with the best cars in the world, hell the 360 Modena already does that. A improvement on that is gonna be awesome.

Those arn't old, Those pictures..

I think they must be if BluCamSS has seen them on his ferrari forums before... :-k

Yeah, when I said old I didn't mean months old. I just have seen those, they have been around lol. I am hoping that some less covered up shots pop up soon. :-)

I think we all do :D

You have a good point lol. Even though Ferrari takes covered up cars out in public they are very good about keeping the final look secret. So it might not leak out until the new car is debuted in a few months. But I will have my eyes open, I have been waiting for this car to come out!

I have been waiting for this car to come out!As we all

I have been waiting for this car to come out!As we all

Yes, you have a point. But I have loved Ferraris all my life.
I have been lucky enough to drive a few and have seen more then
most probably have. So when a new Ferrari comes out (which isn't that often)
I get excited lol.

Now all we can do is wait...

thats great... faster than a GT :D :D and all the times sounds REAL awesome

:( i wish the ferrari people would hurry
i cant take the excitement building up in me

if there's one thing i hate about cars, is that they don't come out soon enough

Now all we can do is wait...

they shouldn't hurry. When you're in a hurry, they can make mistakes. So i would like to say to Ferrari: take as much time as you need (but not too much :P)

Dude, thats a test mule. Its all covered up so you CAN'T tell what it really looks like.

I just read on another board that instead of the interior just getting a few minor changes it should get a full workover. From what I read expect a new Enzo-like steering wheel, new gauge cluster, new door trim, new seats and more. Every time Ferrari upgrades their main mid-engined sports car it gets more and more changes it seems. The 308 to 328 was a minor change, the 348 to F355 was more major. Finally it seems the 360 Modena to whatever it will be called will be a very extensive upgrade. :-)

http://www.highperformancecars.com/blucamss/2343297-gallardoa.jpg

Here is a new spy shot for you guys. There have been two known cars running around. This is the more 360 Modena based looking one, not the more heavily gone over one, but even with that being this is one of the closest rear shots yet. It is still heavily covered up but you can see the Enzo-like tail lamps and what seems to be a automatically adjusting rear spolier. Also if you look at the front and compare it to the car behind you can see the difference in the shape of the nose....NICE.

....NICE.

I agree, and hopefully the front will look good. I am still a bit unsure about putting Enzo lights on it, but time will tell when it is finally released. An automatically adjusting rear spolier would be very cool, but somehow, I prefer permamnent spoilers, but thats probably because I really like GT race cars which have spoilers like that (even so, they can often be too big :P)

The front shots that I have seen look very aggressive. I like the Enzo-like tail lamps alot. The back of the Enzo Ferrari to me looks awesome. The treatment on this car looks similar, not exact and I am sure will look great. I really dislike big wings. I prefer when downforce is acheived by undercar means, not by tacking on a ugly wing. So a automatically adjusting rear spoiler works for me. :-)

Dude, it's almost annoying that you can't show us more pics, i really can't wait!!! :D

Lol, as I can post them here I will, the other sites a pay site and you can't download the really good pictures. But I can tell you it's awesome, at least the pictures I can post give you an idea. :-)

I really dislike the new Modena. IMO it should have more original Features the borrowing parts off the Enzo.

Thats a weird comment considering nobody has seen one.

Plus their not "borrowing parts", they use common features
from their other cars like all companies do, it's called brand idenity.
Like how Ferrari uses 4 round tail lamps, and BMW uses the kidney grille etc, etc.

Don't make a comment like that about any car until you see it.
It will come back to bite you in the ass lol.

http://www.highperformancecars.com/blucamss/spy-shot-3.jpg

Here is a shot sent to me by a friend. His buddy got it and Photoshopped the front and back red to match the rest of the car. It was all covered up with black stuff, so yes it has been doctored. But even with that being it's one of the few front shots. God only knows how much of that nose is fake and I am sure Ferrari has most of it hidden. But you can still see a all new front fascia with really cool new intakes and new fenders. Along with what seems to be aggressive new head lamps. As you look back you can tell the rear section is all new and you can see the larger side intakes. I just wish it wasn't all coverd up lol.

i was misinformed I thought the new modena would look like a scaled down Enzo. O well I still don't like it very much though.

O well I still don't like it very much though.

That still makes no sense to me considering all that anyone has seen are covered up spy shots. You have to wait until the car is unvailed. Anyway, back on track here....

I guess your right but the old Modena looks sleeker and more stylish, this one from the spy shots looks a little bit bulkier. But I guess we will have to wait until the concept is revealed before I make my final judgement on the car.

how long till they make a spyder of this?? :?Usually the year after the coupe arrives.What would be the difference?

What do you mean? The spyder is the convertible version. And usually Ferrari releases it the year after the coupe is debuted.
