Also, the variation Ferrari creates, there will be more for the 458 rather than just a coupe and spyder. Look at where the 599 right now, there is the base 599, 599 HGTE (even though its only a package), 599 GTO and the upcoming 599 roadster or something like that. So pretty much, like most of all here, its just a BS.

Good response. +1
One thing that has been with Ferrari's "marketing tools" is to see what the community is raving about; ideas, speculations, and maybe someone with some "spy shots" at the Nurburgring; wherever to get the communities hype into overdrive, then BAM... new model.
I highly predict some sort of Scuderia or Challenge based model here in the next year. Maybe by August '11? Hmm....

The MP4-12C will be out next year and will put Ferrari in catch up mode.

A year later McL will do a GTR version.

Of course there will be more extreme evolution(s) of the 458.

MP4-12C GTR is going to be so epic. It's already making me excited... Can't wait either way.

If the Porsche every year develops the fantastic 911, leaving it up to date with new technologies and small details of desing, Ferrari 458 and a new project, you must not have bigger problems, and what good can be improved, Luca Montezemolo hide gold.

My belief is they are sitting on something that will seriously blow minds, and they won't release a version until probably next year where sales will hit.
