THE 430 Scuderia

Its official...

 

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Michael Schumacher will officially unveil the car 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 truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari’s Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.

The new model 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. All this to exalt the car’s extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.

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 standard F430 – and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8’s 510 hp at 8500 rpm.

Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest F1 software - 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.

Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari’s achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.

The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher on September 11 2007 at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt.

WOW, that is amazing, I think im going to HAVE to order - TOMMOROW!!!!!!

 

i wonder if this will be the only striping color offered. a bit of a departure from the tri-colored one.

 

Very Nice!

 

Beautiful...i can see it in white with red interior and black wheels right now.

 

The only question remaining is whether it is coming to the U.S.

Gary

 

Yes.

 

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING WITH THIS TYPE OF FLOOR ???

And those wheels belong on a 19th century horse carriage car..

Marginally better looking than a stock 430 (lack of Walmart looking front grills)in the pics and I do like some of the details but I'll still take the CS.

 

I agree. Beautiful car, but the CS looks less boy-racer. I'm sure it will perform amazingly well though.

 

i cant beleive they didnt use the smaller carbon fibre mirrors. I love the CS mirrors and hate the 430 mirrors.

 

Ferrari is definitely surfing on the boy racer wave..

Those stripes , wheels and floor are over the top. I could understand the italian stripes but those are stupid.

 

What is with the Matino? It has no ice setting, but a CT and CST off setting???

 

so a couple things ive noticed..other than the stupid looking mirrors

- radio? I dont see one.
- engine intakes are carbon fibre..and not red like the CS
- paddle shifters are carbon fiber...unlike the CS

 

Probably due to the tires. I guess Ferrari will not recommend driving this car in the snow.

 

I see a cache for the radio. THis one prob doesnt have one, but i think it can be ordered as an option as on the CS.

I'll take one in TDF/tan....................................... oh wait I'm a nobody in my local dealers eyes so that aint going to happen

 

a little touch of overstyling on the front bumper
but well that should be a sick machine..

What is this red ??

 

Also, I wonder what the buttons next to the handbrake are for, im guessing hazards, mirrors, but there are still a few more...

 

The rear 3/4 view makes it look "bloated" and I agree that the floor looks cheap.

Otherwise, I'm going to bet this thing is awesome.

Whoa, I like it. Would be better with rims painted black, no stripes, just solid Rossa Corsa, and smaller CS like mirrors. I really like it though.
