The F430 hails the arrival of a whole new generation of Ferrari V8-engined berlinettas.
Every inch of the car was inspired by the engineering research carried out at Ferrari's
Gestione Sportiva F1 racing division. The result is a highly innovative design characterised
by cutting-edge technologies perfected for use on a road-going car.
Outstanding features: the electronic differential (E-Diff) originally developed
by Ferrari for its F1 single-seaters, the steering wheel-mounted commutator switch
(the manettino) which directly controls suspension settings, the CST stability and
traction control, the lightning response of the F1 transmission. And of course,
that ferocious roar!
Ferrari 430 Coupe Specification
Specification
The F430 is powered by a new 90° V8 featuring Ferrari's traditionally uncompromising
design approach with a flat-plane crank (180° between throws). This is an all-new
unit that does not share any components with the 360 Modena's engine. The improvement
in terms of performance, weight and reduction of overall dimensions is the result
of applying Ferrari's wealth of F1 experience to its road cars.
One of the technical features that sets the F430 apart is the E-Diff or electronic
differential. This solution has been used for years in F1 single-seaters and has
been continuously developed and refined, effectively transferring massive torque
levels to the track under extremely high cornering g-forces. The E-Diff is now standard
equipment on the F430 - the first time that a production car has been equipped with
such a sophisticated system for high-performance roadholding. On the track, the
E-Diff guarantees maximum grip out of bends, eliminating wheel spin.
Just like in Formula 1, the F430 driver can change the set-up of his car using the
innovative selector set on the steering wheel. The manettino is a rotary switch
that has been adopted directly from racing, where the driver's total commitment
to driving requires maximum efficiency and speed in controlling the car's various
functions. This switch quickly and simply controls the electronics governing suspension
settings, the CST stability and traction control, E-Diff and the change speed of
the F1 transmission, as well as the integration between each of these individual
functions.
