First shown to the public at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show,
unveiled by Ferrari's legendary Formula 1 driver Michael
Schumacher, the 430 Scuderia succeeded the outgoing 360 Challenge
Stradale as the road-going variant of the F430 Challenge race car.
Improvements over the standard F430 coupe were instantly apparent
both upon first inspection and behind the wheel. These included a
faster-shifting gearbox, an increase in overall downforce due to
slightly different bodywork and revised aerodynamics, and the
addition of carbon ceramic brakes as standard.
Delivered new through Ferrari of Long Island, this 430 Scuderia is
beautifully presented in Nero paintwork with the model's signature
racing stripe in silver. The car's interior trim perfectly mimics
its exterior and is trimmed in Nero Alcantara with stitching and 3D
seat inserts in Grigio Chiaro. Further options include contrasting
yellow brake calipers and rev counter, carbon fiber steering wheels
with LEDs, stereo with navigation and Bluetooth, and a fire
extinguisher. According to the accompanying CARFAX report, its
first owner took delivery of the new 430 Scuderia in June 2008. The
car has remained on Long Island ever since and remains in wonderful
condition both inside and out. Today the car includes its original
owner's manual, books, and a spare set of keys.
Over a decade after its initial introduction, the 430 Scuderia has
aged exceptionally well and its performance is still thrilling,
even compared to Ferrari's more recent offerings. With less than
6,000 miles from new and presented in a tasteful color combination,
this would be a wonderful modern Ferrari to drive and enjoy.To view
