A hardtop on a F430 is quite funny, it doesn't match with the car. A F430 is a car you drive on sunny days, just like any other Ferrari. And when it's bad weather you can always count on your softtop. So a hardtop isn't really necessary. But now it is spotted in Maranello, the home of Ferrari

Now the California has been released, the famous Italian Marque needs to start on the next project that they can deny for 2 years. Could it possibly be a removable hardtop version of the Ferrari F430? Judging by these photos attained by autogespot, it appears that this possibilty could well be a reality.

The Ferrari F430 has been on the market for since 2004 and we can fully assume Ferrari are working on a successor, so there is still the possibility this could also be a mule for its replacement, or as a complete mood killer suggestion, this could be just a simple tuning job by a Ferrari owner looking to add a bit of individuality to his car.

Another option is that Ferrari has built a hardtop because a lot of customers ask for it. But we don't think that people want a hardtop on their Spider. But hey.. we can make mistakes! If there is a need for a hardtop, why wouldn't Ferrari build one?

The last option is a whacky Italian who placed a custom build hardtop on his F. But that isn't really possible because there is a factory license plate on the car.

The second option is the best option we think. What is happening behind the factory walls? Do we get more information in a few weeks? Or is it really a mule? We have to wait.
