Full description
The body styling of the F430 was revised from its predecessor, the Ferrari 360, to improve its aerodynamic efficiency. Although the drag coefficient remained the same, downforce was greatly enhanced. Despite sharing the same basic Alcoa Aluminum chassis, roof line, doors and glass, the car looked significantly different than the 360. A great deal of Ferrari heritage was included in the exterior design.
At the rear, the Enzo's tail lights and interior vents were added. The car's name was etched into the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front bumper are reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the 156 "sharknose", Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars of Phil Hill.
The F430 features a 4.3L V8 engine derived from a shared Ferrari/Maserati design. This new power plant was a significant departure for Ferrari, as all previous Ferrari V8's were descendants of the Dino racing program of the 1950s. This fifty-year development cycle came to an end with the entirely new 4.3L. The engine's output specifications are: 483 hp at 8500 rpm and 465 N·m of torque at 5250 rpm, 80% of which is available below 3500rpm. The connecting rods, pistons and crankshaft were all entirely new, while the four-valve cylinder head, valves and intake trumpets were copied directly from Formula 1 engines, for ideal volumetric efficiency. The F430 has a top speed of 315 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 100 Km/h in 4.0 seconds.
The F430 featured the E-Diff, a computer-controlled limited slip active differential which can vary the distribution of torque based on inputs such as steering angle and lateral acceleration.
Other notable features include the first application of Ferrari's manettino steering wheel-mounted control knob. Drivers can select from five different settings which modify the vehicle's ESC system, "Skyhook" electronic suspension, transmission behavior, throttle response, and E-Diff.
To commemorate Ferrari's 16th victory in the Formula 1 Constructor's World Championship 2008, Ferrari unveiled the Scuderia Spider 16M at Mugello. It is a convertible version of the 430 Scuderia.
The engine produces 503 hp at 8500 rpm and 470 N·m torque at 5250 rpm. The car has a dry weight of 1,340 kg, 80 kg lighter than the F430 Spider. It accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 315 km/h.
Only 499 vehicles were produced. This car has covered 1,276 km.
