Introduced at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari F430 represented a major evolution of the successful 360 Modena, incorporating both styling and engineering inspiration from the marque’s contemporary Formula 1 programme. Beneath the Pininfarina-penned bodywork lay an all-new 4. 3-litre V8 engine developing 483bhp at 8, 500rpm, propelling the car to 60mph in just 4. 0 seconds and on to a top speed in excess of 190mph. The F430 also debuted Ferrari’s now-famous E-Diff electronic differential and the steering wheel-mounted manettino switch, allowing the driver to tailor handling characteristics to road or track conditions.
The open-topped Spider variant—introduced in 2005—offered all the performance of the coupé with the added drama of open-air motoring. Its fully automatic folding roof stowed neatly beneath a sculpted tonneau cover, preserving the car’s striking silhouette.
This example supplied new in 2007 and finished in the quintessential Rosso Corsa over Sabbia leather—a particularly elegant and rarely seen combination. Crucially, it was specified with the Carbon Fibre Racing Seats, a highly desirable and seldom-ordered factory option that delivers a notably focused driving position and reduced weight. Further specification includes Scuderia wing shields, red brake calipers, carbon interior trim options, and the F1 gearbox.
Presented in excellent condition throughout, this F430 Spider has covered just 20, 606 miles from new and has been well maintained.
Representing one of the last naturally aspirated mid-engined V8 Ferraris to combine analogue emotion with modern usability, the F430 Spider is rightly regarded as a modern classic.
This attractively specified example—with its traditional colour combination and rare racing seats—offers a superb opportunity for the discerning Ferrari enthusiast.
