    Ferrari 430 Scuderia has been voted Top Gear's "Fantasy Car of the Year'.

    The magazine described the 430 Scuderia as 'God's own supercar'. Other positive comments about the car include:

    "I loved it. I loved it because here was a Ferrari that drove like a Ferrari and had the passion of a Ferrari as well.

    And then there's the braking. ... In the Scuderia, they stop you fast, and wil feel, and endlessly. They are brilliant.

    Yes, there's computer stuff. The e-diff talks to the traction system behind your back, for instance, but you feel part of the machine - you feel like you're in something created by enthusiasts, not technicians.

    As you cannon out of a bend, marvelling at the wall of sound and the extraordinary grip, you are pinned in your seat, unaware that the ride height is down, or that the air is being parted more cleanly. All you care about is that you don't want it to stop.

    As a driving machine, I know of nothing to match this. ... With a honeymoon island, life is easy. Just pick the nearest. And the cheapest. With supercars, it's even easier. Just pick a 430 Scuderia."


    FORZA SCUDERIA. Best.

    Here you go http://www.topgear.com/content/timetoburn/sections/wallpapers/pages/27.html

    The words came from the Ferrari UK web site and the picture as above, although I suspect they may have been found on a thread I started on another forum http://www.clubscuderia.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=20438&highlight=Scuderia.

    May I ask...............what the specification & options you choose on the new toy? CF stuff? racing-type fabric seats or alcatara ones? sorts of that.....................

    I am also excited with you, I must admit!

    Best, Kenny


    P.S. On Feb 12, there will be a launching party of 430 Scuderia in Thailand. I wonder the showcar would be left hooker. The first RHD Scud might be starting to deliver on 2nd quarter and so on. When do you expect yours???
