The 2005 Ferrari F430 Berlinetta carries a red exterior and pairs its mid-mounted 4.3-liter V8 with a six-speed automatic transmission featuring auto-shift and F1-style paddle control. Rear-wheel drive and an electro-mechanical limited-slip differential complete the powertrain, which produces 490 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 342 lb-ft of torque at 5,250 rpm. The coupe rides on 19-inch alloy wheels with 225/35ZR19 front and 285/35ZR19 rear performance tires.

Adaptive suspension works with four-wheel independent suspension, front and rear anti-roll bars, and speed-sensing power steering. Body-color bumpers and mirrors, a rear lip spoiler, polished tailpipe finishers, and power door mirrors define the exterior. High-intensity discharge headlights with washers, variable intermittent wipers, and a rear window defroster handle visibility needs.

Inside, leather upholstery covers the bucket seats, each with power adjustment and manual lumbar support. A sport steering wheel in leather sits ahead of a tilt-and-telescoping column. Automatic climate control, one-touch-down power windows, remote keyless entry, and a security system provide the main convenience and security items. The cabin also includes an AM/FM radio, CD player with MP3 decoding, radio data system, and weather-band reception.
