Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2009)

The F430 Scuderia was unveiled by Ferrari in July 2007 and was the most potent road-legal version of the model produced by the factory. A gap had existed since 360 Challenge Stradale production ended in 2005 and this model filled it being, like its predecessor, lighter, more powerful, rawer and technologically more advanced than its standard sibling.

Thanks to a high compression motor with re-mapped engine management and a sports exhaust, output increased from 483 to 510bhp, developed at an unchanged 8500rpm. The F1 transmission also came in for some attention and F430 Scuderias used Ferrari's latest generation 'Superfast' software that reduced gear change time to just 60 milliseconds. Other important developments were made including a new traction control system that combined the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system, E-Diff-2.

Ride-height was lowered by 15mm and firmer springs and dampers were installed along with bigger carbon ceramic brake discs, the front calipers being uprated to 6-piston items. Visually the Scuderia received new 19-inch double spoke wheels as well as the introduction of a series of aero refinements that lent it a more aggressive look compared to the standard F430. Restyled front intake grilles were larger and more angular and the rear end featured a carbon fibre diffuser with centrally-exiting Challenge exhaust tips and a new exhaust surround. A Challenge rear grille came as standard, carbon fibre being used for the wing mirrors, engine bay vents and strut supports.

This LHD example was supplied new to its first private owner on 26th March 2009 in Germany via Auto Saggio GmbH. It is presented in the stunning combination of Giallo Modena with Silver NART racing stripe. Inside the car is appointed with Nero Alcantara Seats with contrasting Giallo stitching and stitched Prancing Horses on each headrest, Nero "3D" Tessutio fabric seat centres, 4 Point Ferrari Harnesses, Carbon drivers zone with LED Shift light, carbon fibre under door covers, Nero Alcantara headlining and Giallo gauges. The exterior benefits from Giallo brake calipers mounted behind the lightweight 19" 10 Spoke Alloys.

The condition of the car is superb with it having covered just 7,980 miles from new. It has had just two owners from new and was supplied by ourselves to the current owner in 2014. DK Engineering has recently carried out a full major service ensuring that the car wants for nothing. Supplied with its original tools, tyre pump, complete books and spare key this exceptional Scuderia is UK road registered and ready to be used and enjoyed immediately, located at our showrooms just outside London.
