FERRARI F430 GATED 6 / 6-Speed Manual 2005 – A Turning Point in Maranello’s V8 Legacy
The 2005 Ferrari F430 Gated 6 marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of Ferrari’s V8 lineage, developed with strong Formula 1 influence—both in aerodynamics and onboard electronics. Designed by Pininfarina in collaboration with Frank Stephenson, the F430 introduced bold visual elements such as front air intakes inspired by the legendary 156 F1 “Sharknose” and suspended rear light clusters.
At its heart lies a 4. 3-liter naturally aspirated V8 engine producing 490 hp, a completely new powerplant at the time, delivering immediate throttle response and a captivating soundtrack—cementing its place as one of the most iconic engines of Ferrari’s modern era.
Technical Highlights:
- E-Diff electronic differential
- Manettino dynamic control system
- Extensive use of lightweight materials for enhanced performance
- Carbon-ceramic brakes for precise and enduring stopping power
- Carbon rear diffuser for added aerodynamic efficiency
This particular unit, finished in Rosso Corsa, is even more special for being equipped with the rare 6-speed gated manual transmission—a configuration increasingly sought after by collectors, with only around 700 left-hand drive units produced in this spec.
A true expression of Ferrari in its purest form, built for purists who value the direct mechanical connection between driver and machine.
