Ferrari Reveals F430 Scuderia. May 08
The new extremely high performance two-seater berlinetta is brimming with Formula 1 derived technology and joins the F430 and F430 Spider to complete Ferrari's 8-cylinder model range.
Lightweight, simple and striking with a distinctive engine and exhaust sound, every last detail of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia exudes uncompromising sportiness as a direct result of its close links to the world of racing, which is reflected in the car's name - "Scuderia". Seven-times World Champion Michael Schumacher was involved in the car's development.
With a dry weight of 1250kg and 375kW delivered at 8500 rpm by its naturally aspirated 4308 cc V8 engine, the 430 Scuderia has a low weight-power ratio, which allows it to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds. Thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamics, F1- SuperFast 2 gearbox and E-Diff coupled with the sophisticated F1-Trac traction control system, this sporty new mid-rear engined berlinetta combines nimble handling with blisteringly fast acceleration.
The 430 Scuderia's engine is an evolution of the F430's 90 V8 which features a number of modifications to boost its specific power output. It is mated to a six-speed sequential shift transmission in the F1 version and a six-speed manual in the F430.
The 4.3-litre V8 has a top speed of 330km/h. The F430 F1 is priced at $442,350 and the standard 430 at $416,850.
