Ferrari F430 - the top of perfection

The car Ferrari F430 was first shown to the general public in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show. This was a logical continuation of the model of the same Of the brand 360 Modena. The sports car was produced from 2006 to 2009.

In the new Ferrari F430 visitors to the auto show were invited to look at the sports coupe, designed for the driver and one passenger. Experts said that the car received a body type, called Berlinetta. The car was equipped with a rear-wheel drive and a centrally located engine.

The most impressive element of this car is its air intakes. They remind the shark of a nose. True, it is worth noting that this feature was borrowed from 156 models. You can not also call the Ferrari F430 the most beautiful car, because it has several other advantages. Each gram of mass of this car is saturated with various technical innovations. In the environment of the designers of the company this model is called the evolving F131.

The F430 is a machine with the next stage of using metal intended for space technology. Among the most significant innovations that were added to the car, it is worth noting E-Diff, that is, the system Electronic differential. In addition, the designers borrowed another feature from the 599 GTB Fiorano, namely a small lever on the steering wheel, which is used for tuning.

The new Ferrari F430 received a lightweight engine with a V-shaped 8-cylinder, which is capable of delivering 490 horsepower. This power allows you to tame the braking system, which received discs made from carbon ceramics. It is worth noting that the lack of transmission, which was taken from the copy for Formula 1, would reduce the technical characteristics of the machine. It is this unit that facilitates the switching of gears in just 150 milliseconds. It is worth noting that the Ferrari F430 Spider, a model with a hinged roof, just like the usual version of the car, can develop a speed of 310 km / h.

The dynamics of the car is provided by a low mass of only 1450 kilogram. Marketers, when they characterized aerodynamics, said that the car accelerates as if it were in a vacuum.

This model was continued in the jubilee version of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, which was equipped with a 510-horsepower engine. This car was adapted for use on public roads. The thrust of the engine is now controlled by the electronic system. The robotic gearbox reduces the switching process to 60 milliseconds. In addition, the Ferrari F430 Scuderia lost weight, and now its mass is only 1,250 kilograms. It is worth noting that in this version of the car the maximum speed also increased and is 319 kilometers per hour. The machine is suitable for public roads, and also equipped with a special system to stabilize the steering. It has five modes of operation of this system.

The environmental concern of our time, namely the use of ethanol as fuel, is also taken into account. Now the damage to nature is minimized. The cost of the new F430 has a rather extended range, since the minimum configuration will cost only 187 thousand dollars, while the "stuffed" car will cost about 217 thousand.
