Ferrari F430 has been on the market since 2004 when it replaced the 360. There has been a very special version called F430 Scuderia that was unveiled by F1 pilot Michael Schmacher at Frankfurt Motor Show. It is a logical process that Ferrari will replace the current model with something new in few years.
Italian designer Luca Serafini has produced some very interesting renderings of a concept that could be a new model to replace F430. His next plan is to create a 1:4 model. His work is beautiful and all we can hope is that someone from Ferrari will see these images.
