About the Ferrari F430:
The Ferrari F430 (Type F131) was produced from 2004 to 2009 as a
successor to the Ferrari 360. The car is an update to the 360 with
notable exterior and performance changes. It was unveiled at the
2004 Paris Motor Show.
Designed by Pininfarina, the body styling of the F430 was revised
from its predecessor, the Ferrari 360, to improve its aerodynamic
efficiency. Although the drag coefficient remained the same,
downforce was greatly enhanced. Despite sharing the same basic
Alcoa Aluminum chassis, roof line, doors and glass, the car looked
significantly different from the 360. A great extent of Ferrari
heritage was included in the exterior design. At the rear, the
Enzo's tail lights and engine cover vents were added. The car's
name was etched on the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The
large oval openings in the front bumper are reminiscent of Ferrari
racing models from the 60s, specifically the 156 "sharknose"
Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars of Phil Hill.
The F430 features a 4.3 L V8 engine. This new power plant was a
significant departure for Ferrari, as all previous Ferrari V8's
were descendants of the Dino racing program of the 1950s. This
fifty-year development cycle came to an end with the entirely new
4.3L engine used in the F430, the architecture of which is expected
to replace the Dino-derived V12 in most other Ferrari cars. The
engine's output specifications are 483 HP at 8,500 rpm and 343
lb�ft of torque at 5,250 rpm, 80% of which is available below 3,500
rpm. Despite a 20% increase in displacement, engine weight grew by
only 8.8 LBS along with a decrease in diameter for easier
packaging. The connecting rods, pistons and crankshaft were all
entirely new, while the 4-valve cylinder head, valves and intake
trumpets were directly retained from Formula 1 engines, for ideal
volumetric efficiency. The F430 has a top speed in excess of 196
mph and can accelerate from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.6 seconds.
The brakes on the F430 were developed in close cooperation with
Brembo and Bosch resulting in a new cast-iron alloy for the discs.
The new alloy includes molybdenum which has a better heat
dissipation performance. The F430 was also available with the
optional Carbon fiber-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic
composite brake package. Ferrari claims the carbon ceramic brakes
will not fade even after 300-360 laps at their test track.
The F430 featured the E-Diff, a computer-controlled limited slip
active differential which can vary the distribution of torque based
on inputs such as steering angle and lateral acceleration.
Other notable features include the first application of Ferrari's
manettino steering wheel-mounted control knob. Drivers can select
from five different settings which modify the vehicle's ESC system,
"Skyhook" electronic suspension, transmission behavior, throttle
response, and E-Diff.
In the US, the company requested an exemption from the airbag
design requirements, which was eventually granted, allowing the car
to continue to be sold in the US
