THE FERRARI F430
Introduced in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari F430 was the latest in the line of V8-powered Ferrari road cars that began back in 1973 with the 308 GT4. Styled, as usual, by Pininfarina, the F430 body generated excellent downforce without the penalty of increased drag. Pininfarina cleverly referenced some of Ferrari's great cars from the past and present, using the Enzo's tail lights and a Testarossa-style driver's-side mirror, while the twin front air intakes recalled the Tipo 156 Formula 1 car of 1961.
Beneath the transparent engine cover was an entirely new 32-valve V8 power unit displacing 4. 3 liters. More compact than its predecessor, this new engine developed a maximum of 490 horsepower, while 80% of the 343lb/ ft of torque was available below 3, 500 revs, quite an achievement for a normally aspirated engine. A traditional manual transmission was still available, but most buyers opted for the F1-style paddle shift version. One of the F430's more significant developments was the 'E-Diff', a computer-controlled limited-slip differential. As Autocar explained: 'With this much power it's quite possible to come to a turn too fast, but in sports mode the diff and its electronics maintain traction, minimize understeer, and assist in the creation of that fast-flowing fluency that keen drivers dream of.' And the F430 was certainly fast, with a top speed of more than 315km/ h (196mph) and a 0-100km/ h (0-62mph) time of around 4. 0 seconds.
THE CAR OFFERED
This 2006 F430 Spider is a single-owner example that has covered approximately 6, 300 miles from new. Sold via the long-running Ferrari dealer Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley, New York, this well-optioned car is presented in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa over black upholstery and is equipped with the eminently desirable gated six-speed manual gearbox. The accompanying window sticker shows a host of options including Daytona-style seats in black leather, electric seat adjustment, Scuderia shields, yellow brake calipers, high-end audio system, and Challenge-style alloy wheels.
The accompanying CARFAX report backs the low mileage, shows regular dealer servicing, and the seller reports records will be included. Additionally, the car features dealer-installed PPF, and the seller reports the notorious 'sticky buttons' that afflict Ferraris of this era have been resolved. With a top that goes down, a gated manual gearbox, and single-ownership history, this F430 is one for the collectors.
