The 2005 Ferrari F430 is a mid-engine sports car powered by a 4.3-liter DOHC V8 paired with a six-speed F1 automated transaxle and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. Factory-rated output is 483 horsepower and 343 lb-ft of torque, managed through Bosch Motronic engine management and a dry-sump lubrication system.
Exterior
Finished in Rosso Corsa, the Pininfarina-designed body features Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, xenon headlights, quad exhaust outlets flanking the rear diffuser, and an integrated rear spoiler. It rides on 19″ split-spoke alloy wheels paired with Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires and features red-finished brake calipers with cross-drilled, ventilated rotors.
Interior and Features
The cabin is trimmed in Beige Tradizione leather with black dashboard contrast and carbon-fiber accents. Power-adjustable Daytona-style bucket seats feature Cavallino-embroidered headrests. Additional amenities include air conditioning, power windows and locks, drilled aluminum pedals, and refinished switchgear.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel integrates an engine-start button, shift paddles, and a manettino driving mode selector. Instrumentation includes a central red tachometer (8,500 rpm redline), 220-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil temperature, and pressure.
