Debuting at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007, the Ferrari F430 Scuderia represented a significant leap forward in the Italian marque’s performance lineup.
This V8-powered sports car was the spiritual successor to the 360 Challenge Stradale, a road-going version of the 360 Modena race car.
Formula 1 Inspired Performance
Drawing heavily on Ferrari’s Formula 1 racing experience, the F430 Scuderia was engineered to deliver unparalleled performance and driving dynamics.
Its 4.3-liter V8 engine produced an impressive 510 horsepower and 469.4 Nm of torque, thanks in part to a weight reduction of 100 kg compared to the standard F430. This translated to a power-to-weight ratio of 2.45 kg/hp, making it the fastest naturally aspirated V8-powered Berlinetta in Ferrari history.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The F430 Scuderia was equipped with an advanced F1 Superfast dual-clutch transmission, capable of shifting gears in just 0.06 seconds. Combined with the F1 Track system, traction control, and electronic differential, the car offered exceptional handling and stability. The chassis featured numerous enhancements, while revised front and rear bumpers improved aerodynamics.
Track-Focused Performance
With a top speed of 319 km/h (198 mph) and a 0-100 km/h (62 mph) time of less than 3.6 seconds, the F430 Scuderia was a true performance machine. Its lap times on the Ferrari Test Course were comparable to those of the flagship Ferrari Enzo, solidifying its position as one of the most capable Ferraris of its time.
