The Ferrari F430 signals a brand new generation of Ferrari
8 cylinder models. The new model takes Ferraris achievements in aluminum
technology, which began with the 360 Modena, to new levels, and is
packed with innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1
single seater.
Two of theses innovations are world first in production cars: the
electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel mounted switch,
better known to Formula 1 Scuderia’s drivers as “Manettino”, which
manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics.
Another main
characteristics is the light and compact 4,3 l V8 cylinder engine, which
delivers 114 hp/l also providing the Ferrari Berlinetta with a
weight-to-power ratio of 2,8 kg/hp (dry weight). The breaking system is
configured with carbon-ceramic discs for efficient operation under
extreme use (optional). A Formula 1 derivated gearbox, which cuts gear
shifting down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to maximize the
efficiency of this powerful car. Acceleration from 0-62 mph takes just 4
seconds and top speed is in excess of 195 mph.
