Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Production Cars 20 Jul 2007

Ferrari has revealed its 430 Scuderia, a special high-performance model based on the F430 that features innovative technologies and extensive weight savings, delivering extreme performances. It will be unveiled by Micheal Schumacher at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coupé and the F430 Spider.

The 430 Scuderia is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari’s most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients.

Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology, in order to exalt the car’s extremely high-performance.

The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg – 100 kg less than the F430 – and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8’s 510 hp at 8500 rpm.

Among the technical highlights are the latest software – F1 Superfast – which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.

The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 2007.
