Ferrari
F430 Scuderia Press Release:
The Ferrari 430
Scuderia. Michael Schumacher will officially unveil the car
at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
The new Ferrari
430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside
the F430 coupé and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia
is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates
how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its
production cars.
The new model
is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically
at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients.
Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and
innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely
high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.
The new car can
count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45
kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100
kg less than the standard F430 – and to the naturally-aspirated
4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm.
Superb performance
both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge
solutions. There is the latest F1 software - Superfast –
which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and
new traction control which, for the first time, combines the
E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and
stability control in a single integrated system.
Vehicle dynamics,
control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's
achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports
cars.
The 430 Scuderia
will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher on September
11 2007 at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt.
