2006 Ferrari F430 F1 Spyder Same owner last 10 years Ferrari?s
successor to the 360 4.3L DOHC 32-valve V-8 engine (code F136E)

All surfaces are "sticky" free By the middle of the 2000s, some
traditions at Ferrari had begun to change when the F430 model
debuted in 2004. The following year, the droptop variant emerged
but rest assured, this car?s heart and soul are still Italian. Car
has just been serviced at GLB Motorworks in St. Louis. It comes
with a clean above average Auto Check with three prior owners,
mileage is 25,608. This example was made in Maranello, Italy and is
the convertible version of the F430. It was unveiled at the 2005
Geneva Motor Show, making it Ferrari's 21st road-going convertible.
The car was designed by Pininfarina with aerodynamic simulation
programs used for Formula 1 cars. The conversion from a closed top
to an open-air convertible is a two-stage folding-action; the roof
panel automatically folds away inside a space above the engine bay.
The interior and performance of the Spider are identical to that of
the coup? with an increase in the weight and decrease in the top
speed by 3 mph. Decked out in red with black top, the car?s paint
and trim are in overall excellent condition, the bodywork is
straight and solid and the engine bay is very tidy. The car?s
body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body. Brand new Yokohoua
Advan Apex tires just installed 225/352R19 Front, 285/352R19 Rear.
Each tire is mounted to a five-spoke alloy wheel. All wheels are in
very good shape with minor wear. There is a clear bra on front nose
of the car. The F430 features a 4.3L V-8 engine of the "Ferrari"
F136 family. This new power plant was a significant change for
Ferrari, as all previous Ferrari V-8s were descendants of the Dino
racing program of the 1950s. This 50-year development cycle came to
an end with the entirely new engine used in the F430, the
architecture of which replaced the Dino-derived V-12 in most other
Ferrari cars. The engine's output specifications are 483 horsepower
at 8,500 rpm and 343 lbs?ft of torque at 5,250 rpm, eighty percent
of which is available below 3,500 rpm. Despite a 20 percent
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 four-valve cylinder head, valves and intake trumpets were
directly retained from Formula 1 engines, for ideal volumetric
efficiency. The engine breathes via quad exhaust outlets. The F430
featured a six-speed manual and an 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. 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
better heat dissipation performance. The F430 was also available
with an optional Carbon fiber-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC)
ceramic composite brake package. 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. Designed by
Pininfarina in collaboration with Frank Stephenson (Director of
Ferrari-Maserati Concept Design and Development), the body styling
of the F430 was revised from its predecessor, the 360, to improve
its aerodynamic efficiency. Although the drag coefficient remained
the same, the downforce was greatly enhanced. Despite sharing the
same basic Alcoa Aluminum chassis, roofline, 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 taillights 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 "shark nose"
Formula One car. Competition to this Ferrari in 2006 included Aston
Martin?s DB9 Volant?, Dodge?s Viper SRT-10 Roadster, Lamborghini?s
Gallardo Spyder and Mercedes-Benz?s SL 65 AMG. VIN:
