Ferrari F450 prototype spied with new modifications

Ferrari F450 prototypeWe brought you first spy photos of the Ferrari F430 successor codenamed F142 just few weeks ago. Now another test mule in Sweden was spotted with new modifications to the body.

We can see wider front and rear wheel cases, so it is now obvious that the Ferrari F450 will have a wider track.

Also this prototype has a small bulge on the bonnet and air intakes behind the rear window. Looks like the new engine needs more air.

Rumor is that F450 will debut this fall at the Frankfurt Auto Show. F450 will use a modified chassis and body from the F430.

F450 will get a more aggressive look and engine, with some components in the bodywork and chassis borrowed from the F430. Power will come from a 4.5-liter V8 that produces over 500 hp. If the rumors are true then sales are expected to start end if this year or early 2010.

Look like the engineer behind this prototype was not too happy as he showed his middle finger(second image below) to the photographer.

    Is it possible that this is just an engine test car? Look how mangled the front wheel-arch is, and most of the modifications look like they were done in “haste.”

  • Lane says:

    It has to be more than just the test car for the engine. why would they have a wider track for a new engine?

    plus arent the rear exhausts also positioned differently?

    and of course as 430 was pretty much built on the 360 and this future 450 is going to be built partly on the 430 it does make some sense…
