the double clutch on the 458 montecarlo has reliability problems' .. can not stand the torque increase. It seems that on some cars, the challenge has been replaced with a single clutch of 430 scuderia ..

The final name isn't here at the moment, only speculations. I would care less about problems, in fact that's what testing is needed for - finding and fixing those problems.
There're no 'new' news about the car apart from those circulation since last summer - a bit lighter (<100 kg), some 20-30 hp more, faster, more hardcore, few new tech bits, nothing exceptional enough to mark a departure from Ferrari's winning recipe of making hardcore versions of mainstream Berlinettas in the past. In fact this project and its progress is in the shadow of F150 and will stay there until the New Enzo will be launched, then some of attention will turn to this car.
German dealers expect first customer deliveries in Jan 14. Price is expected to be be about 15% higher than 2013 458 Italia. Launch is going to happen closer to September.

'cause when you see the power and the torque that the f150 double-clutch will have to support (with success apparently)why the 458'system wont support the increase of torque?
but i'm not an expert so if somebody some more explications ??

The monthly Italian magazine Quattroruote, inside his last issue, wrote about this car
into a section named "Novità 2013" (new cars arriving during 2013).
They wrote it is expected during Autumn 2013. This could mean a Frankfurt presentation (September)

I am now told the running order for 2013/14 is Ferrari F70, New Ferrari California, and then 458 Scuderia -- Ferrari is very concerned about sales of the FF and a "face-lifted" car (changes to the back) is in the works

Great info! Thanks! I love the FF, but with this design language Ferrari is following anything they do to the car, I'm sure Ill keep loving it.
