Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Purpose and naming

The 430 Scuderia—dropping the "F" prefix—succeeded the 360 Challenge Stradale as the street version of the F430 Challenge. Michael Schumacher took the wraps off the car at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). "Scuderia" translates to "stable" and is also applied to racing teams, including Ferrari's own. Its direct market competitor was envisioned to be the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, whose name translates to "superlight."

Power and weight

The engine delivers 510 PS at 8500/min and 471 Nm at 5250/min, 15 kW (20 PS) more than in the production coupé. This was made possible by revised intake and exhaust systems as well as knock detection, which allows for a higher compression ratio. Under DIN standards, the car weighs 1250 kg, making it 100 kg lighter than the standard production car. According to the factory, it accelerates to 100 km/h in under 3.6 seconds.

Electronics and tires

The transmission was upgraded with "Superfast2" software to deliver shift intervals under 60 milliseconds. A new traction control system integrated the 599 GTB's F1-Trac setup with vehicle stability control and the E-Diff electronic differential. The Scuderia rides on wider, specially engineered tires sized 235/35 ZR19 in the front and 285/35 ZR19 at the rear.
