Ferrari F430 Scuderia


    The new Ferrari F430 Scuderia has been revealed and the man who gets to unveil it is F1 Champ Michael Schumacher.

    The new Ferrari F430 Scuderia is the new name for the Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale and it boasts 520 horsepower with a low power to weight ratio of 2.45 kg per horsepower with a low dry weight of 1250 kg -this new lightweight Ferrari F430 slightly under-weighs the F430 by 100 kg to be exact.

    Shifting gears for Schumacher will be even more enjoyable when he pilots this new exclusive Ferrari as it will take advantage of Ferrari's latest F1 software-which will reduce gear change times to 60 milliseconds. Tread performance is also increased within the new F430 Scuderia via the combination of an E-diff electronic differential and the F1 traction and stability control integrated system.

    Look for the Ferrari F430 Scuderia and Mr. Schumacher to unveil the new Ferrari at the Frankfurt Auto Show this 2007.









    Press Release

    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 F430 – and to the naturally-aspirated 4308 cc 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 – 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.
