Boasting over 500hp the F450 is even rumoured to have a higher power output than the 520hp F430 Scuderia. Ferrari will use the same double-clutch gearbox from the California for the F450 to double-up. How the global financial difficulty has affected the scarlet marque will be seen in the F450 through possible technologies like a road car version of KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems).Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 4.3-liter, V8, 490-horsepower engine. A 6-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is optional. Ferrari generally follows a sequence of numbers, similar to Porsche's 9-hundred naming system. For instance, theres was the 328, then they made the 348. A couple years later they made the 355. Then the 4's and 5's. They also threw in the 360, acting as the successor to the 355. I also think that your 460 is rather close (hence causing confusion) to the 456 series. Well, naming is a minor detail that comes later in the design progress.
