The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coup 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 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 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.
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 at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt in September 2007.
