Here's info on the latest Ferrari:
The F430 hails the arrival of a whole new generation of Ferrari V8-engined berlinettas. Every inch of the car was inspired by the engineering research carried out at Ferrari's Gestione Sportiva F1 racing division. The result is a highly innovative design characterised by cutting-edge technologies perfected for use on a road-going car.
Two of these innovations are world firsts on high-performance sports cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff), originally developed by Ferrari for its F1 single-seaters, and the steering wheel-mounted commutator switch (the manettino) which directly controls suspension settings, the CST stability and traction control, the E-Diff and the change speed of the F1 transmission.
The F430's all-new 4,308 cc engine punches out 483 bhp and 465 Nm (343 lbs/ft) of torque. Needless to say, performance is outstanding: acceleration from zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4 seconds flat and a maximum speed in excess of 195 mph. As well as an increase in performance, new aerodynamics provide even greater downforce, with 616 lbs being generated at 186 mph.
Other Ferrari Formula 1 influences can be seen in the optional carbon-ceramic discs, which offer superior stopping power, and the F1 paddle shift itself, which effectively halves change times compared to the 360 Modena.
The F430 comes as standard with new 19" alloy wheels and adaptive suspension in a package that has been perfected to deliver outstanding performance and maximum driving pleasure.
