Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2008)

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 been left since the 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 was up from 483 to 510bhp, this being developed at an unchanged 8500rpm. The F1 transmission also came in for some attention, F430 Scuderia's using 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 dropped by 15mm, firmer springs and dampers being 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 the Scuderia a more aggressive look than on the standard F430. Restyled front intake grilles were larger and more angular, the back-end featuring a carbon fibre diffuser with centrally-exiting Challenge exhaust tips and 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 located in Germany on 28th February, 2008, via Kroymans AH Nurnberg GMBH. Presented in stunning metallic Nero Daytona with Grigio Scuderia Racing Livery stripes to suit. The interior is appointed with Nero Alcantara seats with Bianco stitched Cavallinos on each headrest and Nero "3D" Tessutio fabric centres. Additionally the interior also benefits from a factory stereo, Alcantara foot wells, Giallo gauges, carbon driver's zone, trimmed roll bar, as well as factory four point racing harnesses in Nero. The exterior is appropriately appointed in Nero Daytona with with Grigio wheels matching the racing livery and Giallo brake calipers.

In May, 2015, it was purchased by its most recent owner and was subsequently exported to the United Kingdom with UK registration being granted in June 2015. Today the condition of the car is superb having covered just 16,500 Miles from new. In March, 2016, a full annual service was completed by Maranello Egham as well as a clutch and brake read out of amazingly just 3% & 8%, respectively, at this stage four new tyres were also fitted. It has since covered just 750 Miles and is supplied with its original tools, tyre pump, 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 and will be treated to a further annual service as part of the sale.
