2008 Ferrari F430 Scuderia

On Sale: Spring 2008


Expected Pricing: About $220,000

The Ferrari F430 Scuderia is a lightweight version of the F430 coupe. It will be going on sale this spring.
The F430 Scuderia, which joins the F430 Coupe and Spyder already on the market, is powered by a 510-hp, 9000-rpm, 4.3-liter V8 engine that makes almost 30 horsepower more than the standard F430 engine. Ferrari says it can go from a dead stop to 62 mph in only 3.7 seconds. The car is loaded with carbon fiber everywhere, including a carbon fiber intake manifold in the engine. A paddle-shifted six-speed semiautomatic transmission is standard on the car.
The Scuderia model is a lightweight version of the existing F430 coupe, with a few extra grilles and vents on the body for cooling, and two pointed stripes running over the body from nose to tail. Ferrari says it is completely street legal in the United States, but the car's interior is not made for comfort. It's made for the racer who wants the fastest street Ferrari available
