Details

The F430 marked the arrival of a whole new generation of Ferrari V8-engined Berlinettas. Created by Pininfarina in collaboration with Ferrari's head of design. The result is a highly innovative design characterized by cutting-edge technologies perfected for use on a road-going car. Two of these innovations are world firsts for a production car: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the handily placed steering-wheel-mounted Manettino switch. The E-Diff was initially developed by Ferrari for its F1 single-seaters and designed to make the most of the engine's torque to optimize traction. It distributes drive to the wheels in an adaptive manner and is fully integrated with the rest of the car's electronics to ensure maximum stability and traction at all times. Just like in Formula 1, the F430 driver can change various areas of the setup of his car using a single selector set on the steering wheel. It’s powered by the revolutionary 4.3-liter alloy flat-plane 90-degree crank V8 engine producing 490hp at 8,500 rpm and 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds at a top speed of about 200 mph. The engine is backed by the state-of-the-art 6-speed automatic transmission F1 gearbox. With an original invoice of $216,940 and over $42,000 in options, this F430 is equipped with nearly all available options. These include the carbon-ceramic brake system, carbon-fiber driving zone, power Daytona-style seats, Scuderia shields, satellite navigator system, full leather package with rear shelf, door molding and high-power stereo system with subwoofer. It is complete with the owner's manuals, original keys, factory vehicle cover, VIP build documentation and pictures of the vehicle being built.
