Ferrari has long had major success with their mid-engine V8 supercars. The F430 brought the brand to a new level of performance and beauty; and now, the lightened, uprated version is here. Dubbed the F430 Scuderia, the newest supercar from Maranello has a high-revving 510hp (at 8500 rpm!) engine that endows it with a
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera-beating power-to-weight ratio, thanks to the advanced Ferrari’s flyweight of 1250kg.
The gearbox has the latest “F1-Superfast” software a la the 599GTB, meaning lightning-quick changes in 60ms. The Scuderia will be unveiled by the legendary Michael Schumacher at the upcoming Frankfurt motor show. With its extreme motorsport bias and evocative looks – more coherent to these eyes than its brand new Sant’ Agata and
Stuttgart rivals – the direct fight between longtime rivals has hotted up to truly incandescent levels.
