A continuation of highly impressive reviews! Interesting, closing comment (below) regarding possible production numbers and value of the 430S over time, perhaps providing some additional motivation for 360CS owners to hold onto their cars.

( In the very long term prices will start to head south as this is a full member of the Ferrari family, not a limited edition like the Enzo or even the 360 Challenge Stradale...)

 

looks really great in silver

 

Glad that the Stradale still sounds the best !

 

Ferrari have done it again.........what a freaking awesome car.

 

It sounds good but cant be compared to the Strad ! I might change my mind when i hear one IRL but i doubt it ..

 

Ok guys, we know the 430s is GOOD, but now this will be the HUGE £$64,000 question and I suppose only a back to back or twin drive will answer. Will the 430S actually be worth £70K(or $140k) more value for money than a low mileage CS. I really need that one answered. My suspicion is that in normal driving situations, it won't, unless all you're interested in is regular frequent trackdays. Of course I will wait to read reports and drive myself!

you've kept the cs then?[/QUOTE]

Yes I have Tony. Nearly sold, but deal fell through in May(as you prob know) and then didnt get round to bothering to sell again. So I guess I'm keeping! I still love that car you know.
Just wondering however whether to buy 430S as well, to start a collection!!!

 

Some testers claim 503 others 510. Is this maybe Euro vs other market spec?

 

I think so......same as the F430....483HP for the US spec. vs. 490HP for the Euro spec. F430.

 

I thought it was just PS vs BHP? 490PS = 483BHP

A scottish dude named Watt figured that a horse could do 746 watts of work.

Germans estimated that their wimpier horses could only do 736 watts of work and they called their measurement Pferdestaerke or PS.

Conversion factor is approx 0.9866 PS = 1 HP


To convert from: To: Multiply by:
BHP PS 1.01387
BHP Ft Lbs/second 550
BHP Watts 745.7
PS Kg M/second 75
PS Ft Lbs/second 542.476
PS Watts 735.5
Kilowatts BHP 1.341
Kilowatts PS 1.360
Lb Ft Nm 1.356
