Vehicle Description
If it has a prancing horse on the front, then it's a purebred
exotic sports car born out of winning on the rack. But race-ready
cars never looked so good. This extremely clean 2006 Ferrari F430
Spider F1 takes all the competition lessons from international
victories, and cloaks it in a bold and coordinated package that
makes everyone take notice. That's why it has been treated with the
meticulous care that this thoroughbred deserves - it even has just
40 miles on it since a major servicing.
The Maranello-applied Corsa Red paint looks fantastic, but you
already expected that. A car like this doesn't sit outside. Instead
it gets the prime space in the garage where lesser cars get kicked
out if they have to be parked anywhere close to it. And the few
times when this exotic does get to hit the town (there's only
26,131 miles on the odometer) responsible ownership means there's
no scuffs on the chin spoiler and no curb rash on the factory
alloys. The design masters at Pininfarina know how to make rolling
sculpture, so we know you fell in love/lust at first sight with the
bodywork. But more than just beautiful, they work closely with
Ferrari on the most advanced aerodynamics, so the design not only
looks like it cheats the wind, but in reality, it also really
does!
Ferrari is as much about style as they are about speed, and you are
reminded of this the moment you see the power folding top. The
flying buttress design is retained as the roof automatically folds
itself behind a red tonneau cover to create a seamless
roadster-like profile with the top down. And when you look inside,
this is a fantastically coordinated package of tan and black. The
supple leather seats have been finished in the classic Daytona
style, and this combined with the well-coordinated black piping was
a $3,000+ option alone. Plus, these buckets with the prancing horse
embossed on the headrests will hold you in place like no other when
the road gets twisty. You can even power adjust them for the
ultimate in comfort. This is a top-dollar vehicle, so it should be
no surprise that it comes loaded with great features like power
windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, AM/FM/CD
stereo, heated exterior mirrors, and dual airbags. Plus, the
automatic climate control means you get to stay as cool as you look
even with the top down in the summer season. And while all of that
is good for keeping you and your passenger comfortable, what you'll
really love the most is grabbling the Italian leather steering
wheel and utilizing the paddle shifters to make that large central
tach dance.
Driving a Ferrari is an experience like no other, and that's why
they are forever the ultimate perfromance cars. The original
4.3-liter DOHC V8 is such a work of art that it gets its own
glasshouse behind the driver so everyone can view it. Push the
start button, and it comes to life with a frantic and muscular tone
that seems to shout, "What are we standing still for?!" This 483
horsepower engine loves to sing its way up to the 8,500 RPM redline
like the F1 cars that it's based from. In fact, the "F1" in this
car's name refers to the optional six-speed transmission. The
race-style paddle shifting gives this car lighting quick shifts, so
you truly feel like you're in a competition machine. And all the
other details on the F430 have been worked out to maximize
performance. There's a smooth undercarriage for airflow; a
race-inspired selectable fully independent suspension that sticks
to the pavement like glue; and four-wheel disc brakes with large
drilled and slotted rotors with bold red calipers. But you already
knew a true Ferrari was engineered to be a terrific performance
machine. What makes this convertible extra special is that it can
also settle into a quieter everyday functionality when needed.
That's thanks to features like the power steering, anti-lock
brakes, and the auto mode of the transmission.
Just as important as the condition of a Ferrari are the records.
This comes complete with the owner's manual packet, service manual,
and original window sticker (that shows just how much you save for
this lightly used example.) Plus, there are even maintenance
records that prove there was a comprehensive service performed in
2018 and less than 40 miles traveled since. So, there's nothing
stopping you from taking this prancing horse home, except if
someone else gets here first. Call today!!!
