High-performance track focused Ferraris are back Maranello. Ferrar
announced its return to the market today with this road legal F430
Due to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show by Ferrari's bo
Michael Schumacher, the most hardcore F430 yet, named the Scuderia
or 'team' (a reference to the company's racing heritage), is likel
to cost around £150,000, £20k more than the standard car

Like its predecessor, the equally track focused Ferrari 360 Challeng
Stradale, the Scuderia gives you less to give you more, and will hi
before the end of the year

The naturally aspirated 4.3-litre engine now produces 503bhp, givin
you 20 more horses than the standard car, with peak power arriving a
8500rpm. The standard F430’s 0-62mph speed was an impressive 4.
seconds but we anticipate that the new car could well take half
second off that given the weight loss and power hike

The Scuderia’s top speed will no doubt creep up a little too, s
expect it to reach 200mph before it runs out of power. Bigger brake
and semi-slick but road-legal rubber are also expected in the ne
package to help bring proceedings to a halt in neck-breaking times

The Scuderia will feature what Ferrari calls F1 Superfast and F1-Trac
the latest software developments derived from grand prix experience
The F1 Superfast transmission swaps cogs in just 60 milliseconds
less than a third of the time the Enzo’s box required

But the best development however, comes from the F1-Trac syste
controlled by the steering wheel manettino lever which integrates th
F430’s E-diff electronic differential with stability control for th
first time. You can now turn off the car’s traction control whils
keeping the stability control active, allowing the car to flatter th
driver while keeping him out of trouble
