2010 Ferrari F500
This is another image of the F430 successor which will have a larger, more powerful engine (hence the name change), has a restyled body with larger air intakes in front and aft of the B-pillars, and a new dashboard that can now house a navigation system.
The aluminum structure of the F430 remains, as does the basic chassis. No weight gain is expected.
The F430′s V8 engine grows to 5.0 liters and gains direct fuel injection. Output rises to more than 550 hp. A seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox will be optional.
Competition to the F500 will be the usual suspects- Aston Martin DBS, Chevy Corvette ZR1, Lamborghini LP560-4, McLaren P11, and the Porsche 911 GT2.
The new F500 will take center stage this autumn at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Sales will begin early 2010 with a convertible (spider) version following later that year. In 2011, a more powerful, lighter, and more expensive Scuderia version, topping $300,000, will debut. Prices will start at $200,000 for a base F500; convertibles will command $250,000.

Absolutely more beautiful than the 430, somehow. Ferrari has done it again, again. Matt
