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 track. But race-ready
cars never looked so good. This extremely clean 2005 Ferrari F430
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 right care -
including a dealer service just in April.
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 under 32k
miles on the odometer) there's a clear protective film up front.
This level of responsible ownership means the presentation can be
described as nearly flawless. This was the first model year for the
F430, and this is already gaining a historic following as a car
that reset the bar for sleek Ferraris. 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!
A Ferrari is as much about style as they are about speed, and you
are reminded of this the moment you see the beautiful black leather
interior with all the red contrast stitching that coordinates with
the exterior. The clean black carpeting, smooth door panels, and
cool carbon fiber dash inserts make for an attractive sports car.
You will find light wear-in on the driver's seat because this car
was made to be driven. And it remains beautifully detailed, right
down to the embossed logo in the headrests and vented seatback
design that reminds us of the classic 365 Daytona. 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/alarm, cruise control, dual airbags, and automatic A/C
climate control. And because this is a car that was made to be
driven, you also have handy upgrades, like an AM/FM/CD stereo with
Bluetooth, a backup camera, and an integrated radar detector.
Details like the power seats and the big red start button are all
there to engage you like no other enthusiast machine out there. And
you'll really love 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 performance 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
carbon ceramic rotors and bold red calipers. But you already knew a
true Ferrari was engineered to be a terrific performance machine.
What makes this coupe 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.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet, Ferrari
toolkit, trickle charger, and maintenance receipt from April 2023.
So, there's nothing stopping you from taking this sleek and
significant prancing horse home, except if someone else gets here
first. Call today!!!
