In addition to the work on the Enzo-derived Ferrari FXX, the 430 Scuderia was the last Ferrari road car to be designed with direct input from none other than Michael Schumacher. before At the end of 2006 he retired from Formula 1 for the first time. It is worth noting that after his retirement he continued as a consultant, working on models such as the 458 Italia, California and the 599 GTB.
The seven-time Formula 1 World Champion was instrumental in helping the engineering team refine the throttle response, steering and suspension tuning, ESP, E-Diff calibration, brake feel and the Scuderia ‘Race’ and ‘CST Off’ modes on the steering wheel mounted controls (Manettino). He also worked with the development group at Fiorano, where the car eventually completed a lap of 1 minute and 25 seconds. At that time it was within striking distance of the V12 Enzo.
The design basis comes from the famous Montezemolo era and comes from Frank Stephenson, who designed the basic architecture of the F430. The Scuderia takes over his job and takes things to the next level on this track-focused machine. Larger intake ports, larger exhaust ports and deeper diffusers provide cooling and stability. Ferrari has saved about 220 pounds over the standard F430 through thinner glass, carbon panels, titanium springs and reduced insulation. Final curb weight is 2,975 pounds.
Power comes from a 4.3-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 503 horsepower. The F1 SuperFast transmission shifts in 60 milliseconds. Acceleration to 60 miles per hour occurs in less than 3.6 seconds and the top speed is stated at 320 miles per hour.
This particular example offered on dR LIVE shows 14,716 miles and is finished in Nero over Black Alcantara. Original MSRP was $304,311 with $11,218 in factory options. It includes the racing stripes, white tachometer, red brake calipers and lightweight cabin that characterize the model.
The 430 Scuderia came at a crucial time in Ferrari’s history. Ferrari built between 1,500 and 1,800 coupes worldwide between 2007 and 2009, with only about half of them made in the United States. So if you are someone who values the development DNA of the Schumacher era and wants to acquire a significant model in Ferrari’s lightweight line, the F430 Scuderia is for you.
