Ferrari unveils first details of F430 Scuderia
For loaded extremists, Ferrari has released the F430 Scuderia, essentially a successor to the F360 Challenge Stradale.
The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coupé and the F430 Spider. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology.
The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 5.39 lbs per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 2750 lbs – 220 lbs less than the standard F430 – and to the naturally-aspirated 4.3L V8’s 510 hp at 8500 rpm.
Their latest F1 software, childishly named “Superfast,” reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and the new traction control combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.
The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher on, coincidentally, September 11 2007 at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt.
