Hmm, will be interesting, but it isn't all as new as autocar want it to be...

"...including radiators ahead of the front wheels, a double-clutch seven-speed transaxle gearbox, understeer-cancelling software and an upgraded version of the Scuderia’s traction control."

The only thing all new i can see in this is the understeer-cancelling software... And im not even sure if its all new, or just a fancy way of saying ESP.

The position of the radiators has been in front of the front wheels since 360, not sure about 355. Double clutch 7speed is already in california, although it might be tweaked for the 450. Upgraded version of scud TC.... well, its in the scud!

But will be exciting for sure. Can't wait to see the new design, and some Fiorano lap times.

Ditto Robroy. That article explains how Ferrari thinks and many journalists talk before thinking often. It's funny how Ferrari likes to hold out an play the market with certain changes like the convertible to control supply and demand. Either way, I'm sure it is going to be an incredible car. Funny thing I've heard is that sales have slowed in anticipation of the new car. Scuds are sitting on showrooms when, not even 12 months ago, people outbid each in the showroom to get one.
