Next Ferrari F430 to be a hard-top convertible with a turbcharged V8?

As we reported earlier this month, Ferrari is planning on redesigning and replacing the current F430 in the second half of 2009. Unlike the current model which is built off of the 360 Modena, the next-generation F430 will be built from the ground up with a brand new design inspired by the 2007 Millechili concept.
The next-generation Ferrari 430 will get a new aluminum chassis that will make it lighter than the F430 Scuderia, a new direct-injection V8 from the California along with the new 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

I highly doubt it will be a hard top convertible if their goal is to make it lighter than the Scuderia.

Very true and also I cant see it being much faster with out the 1 piece roof. The next F430 seems like its going to be more cosmetic than performance.
