The
Ferrari F430 was a sports car produced by the Italian automaker Ferrari from 2004 to 2009, as a successor to the 360. It debuted at the 2004 Paris Motor Show.
[1] Its replacement, the Ferrari 458 Italia, was unveiled on 28 July 2009 and is expected to go on sale in Spring 2010
The MSRP for a Ferrari F430 is $168,005 to $227,000 in the United States,
[3] £118,500 in the United Kingdom,
[4] approximately €175,000 in the European Union and $389,000 for the base model to $450,000 for the Spider F1 in Australia
The body has been redesigned to be more curvaceous and aerodynamic. Although the drag coefficient remains the same, down force has been greatly enhanced. A great deal of Ferrari heritage is found in the car: at the rear, the
Enzo's tail lights and interior vents have been added. The car's name has been etched into the Testarossa-styled driver's side mirror. The large oval openings in the front bumper are reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the
156 "shark nose" Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars of Phil Hill.
The brakes on the F430 were designed in close collaboration with Brembo.
[5] The result has been a new cast-iron alloy for the discs. The new alloy includes molybdenum which has better heat dissipation performance. Another option Ferrari is providing are Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite discs. Ceramics have much higher resistance to heat and brake fade than metals, the F430's brakes offer not only good performance but also a longer lifespan. Ferrari claims the brakes will not fade even after 300-360 laps at their test track

The F430 features a 4.3L
V8 petrol engine derived from a shared Ferrari/Maserati design. This new power plant is a significant departure for the F430 line: the engines of all previous V8 Ferraris were descendants of the Dino racing program of the 1950s. This fifty year development cycle came to an end with the entirely new 4.3L, the architecture of which is expected to replace the Dino-derived V12 in most other Ferrari cars. The engine's output specifications are: 490 PS (360 kW; 483 hp) at 8500 rpm and 465 N·m (343 lb·ft) of torque at 5250 rpm. The F430 has a top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h)
