Ferrari F430

Aerodynamics are for people that can't build engines - Enzo Ferrari

And they take that quite literally, because for a time the "new" Ferrari was delivered on the chassis of its predecessor and the engine was developed further. It wasn't much different with the F430, it is on a 360 chassis. Under the skirt of Pininfarina, Frank Stephenson (also responsible for the 'new Mini') drew the F430. As with the Mini, the 430 has many nods. For example, the nostrils refer to the '61 Ferrari 156 Formula One racer. And it worked; At speed, the average mother-in-law came to sit on your nose, 150 kg of downforce!

And then a word about the beating heart; The F136-V8. A completely new engine compared to the 360. As the name suggests, a 4.3-liter eight-cylinder that embarrasses most V-tec blocks with its 8,700 rpm range (beeeeaaaaaaaaaa-a-a-a-a-ap). Most automakers make every new model more fuel-efficient, however, Ferrari does a nice Esclusivamente di. Right. Not with it, in other words. More range though, we just enlarge the gasoline tank!

The F1 bin when it was introduced with the F430 was only for the men with lots of chest hair. Shocks, bangs and it must get really hot. That all sounded cool and romantic, but any béje conservative purist missed the big chrome knob immensely. Fortunately, Enzo understood that and made a few available with sporty gearshift, very unique; And now ours!

So again, ours is a little éxtra delicious. That howling V8 and the mechanical noises that respond to a gear stick sliding through the aluminum (clack-clack!), the sloshing cooling water and as fickle as a feather in the wind. This is emotion, pure sang!!! Her interior is light beige and inside and out there is very "striped" on the carbon option list. Always maintained at a Ferrari dealer and specialist. Of course always slept inside as well. If you ask us, Assolutamente unico! A presto?

The client is not always right. - Enzo Ferrari
