Smash Boy Report post Posted July 18, 2007 >From the Ferrari Owner's web site: 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.

lambornima Report post Posted July 19, 2007 even though no other part of the car is "sharp" and "edgy" like the Gallardo, they decided to make the front bumper like this, so that it doesnt flow with the rest of it AT ALL. the rear is a huge improvement though. My favourite Ferrari rear so far. as for the performance, we are back to where we were with the regular Gallardo and F430 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Report post Posted July 19, 2007 Looks good. Can't wait to see how it will stack up against the Superleggera and new GT2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamboforever Report post Posted July 21, 2007 Subaru Rally inspired Gold rims Ferrari used gold colored wheels way before Subaru. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest miyagi Report post Posted July 21, 2007 I'm not a fan of the 430 even in this form, but it does sound like it's going to be a real great performer. Suprised Lambo would leave any room for the SL to be out-performed I met a F430 driver on the motorway last week tailed him for a while, thought he might wanna have a blast. But he moved from the fast last into the slowwwwww lane...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanRo24 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 From what I'm reading it was faster around Fiorano than the Enzo. Not sure how true that is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted July 24, 2007 Yes, just in from the dealer. Looks like the Scuderia will be comfortably faster than the Superleggera. 0-100km/h in "less than " 3.6 seconds compared to 3.8 second for the SL. You're not long on top of the heap these days! Ferrari F430 Scuderia - Product Information (1mb PDF) Yeah, being 1st to market isn't a big advantage in the auto industry these days....I'd say disadvantage probably. Anyone know if the Scuderia will come with a proper transmission? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferrari F430 Scuderia - Product Information (1mb PDF) lambo claims 3.8 but several maga have done 3.6. the Gallardo needs some wider tires.

ArytonS Report post Posted July 26, 2007 Pretty sure that the Gallardo would be slower with wider tires. Increased rolling resistance and increased unsprung mass....Total contact patch on a Gallardo is huge (4wd) compared to the 430. Additional power (IE Heffner's twins) show that the Gallardo benefits tremendously from increased power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The barometer I prefer to look at is how the width of the driver's smile after getting out of either car.... Here's something nobody mentioned: The SL comes with either transmission The Scuderia only comes with F1 So that's a knock against the Ferrari.
