About this car
The 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia is finished in Grigio Silverstone with carbon-fiber Scuderia fender shields, xenon headlights, a carbon-fiber rear diffuser, rear grille, and mirror caps. The car rides on 19-inch Scuderia alloy wheels finished in gray and fitted with Michelin tires, with yellow-finished brake calipers over Brembo carbon-ceramic rotors.
Inside, carbon-fiber-framed sport bucket seats are trimmed in Nero Alcantara with Bata cloth centers and Cavallino Rampante embroidery on the headrests. Nero Alcantara and carbon-fiber trim cover the dash, doors, and center console, while drilled aluminum pedals, a Ferrari CD stereo, automatic climate control, and a radar detector complete the cabin. The carbon-fiber steering wheel carries an integrated LED shift light, engine-start button, carbon-fiber shift paddles, and manettino dial, with a central tachometer marked to an 8,500-rpm redline alongside a 220-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges.
Power comes from a mid-mounted 4.3-liter V8 with a flat-plane crankshaft, 11.9:1 compression ratio, and carbon-fiber intake manifold and airboxes, rated at 503 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Drive reaches the rear wheels through a six-speed F1 automated transaxle and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential.

The Ferrari F430, produced between 2004 and 2009, is a mid-engine sports car that succeeded the Ferrari 360. Approximately 15,000 units were manufactured during its production run, making it relatively accessible compared to other Ferrari models, though still coveted by exotic car collectors for its performance and design. It was offered in coupe and convertible (Spider) variants, with a later track-focused version, the F430 Scuderia, introduced in 2007, featuring enhanced performance and reduced weight.
Powered by a 4.3-liter V8 engine, the F430 delivers 483 horsepower and 343 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in about 3.6 seconds and a top speed of over 196 mph. The Scuderia variant boosts output to 503 horsepower and shaves 0.3 seconds off the 0-60 time. A key feature is the E-Diff electronic differential, improving handling and traction. For collectors, the F430 holds value due to its position as one of the last naturally aspirated V8 Ferraris before the shift to turbocharging. Values have remained stable, with well-maintained examples and low-mileage Scuderia models often commanding premiums, especially in rare color combinations or with documented service history.
