Review: Arguably the most desirable marque in the world, Ferrari, as we kno it today, was born in 1946. The company quickly established itself as a benchmark for others in the world of motor racing. Their first car, the 125 Sport, started a tradition of success that has seen Ferrari rise to the top of the motor sport world with over 5,000 successes on racetracks around the globe and the most recognisable emblem in the world. Ferrari has produced some of the most stunningly exotic and sexy cars we have ever dreamt about! 2000 saw the modern era of Ferrari’s F1 winning streak began in earnest; Ferrari and the world of F1 are now synonymous and it stands to reason that their success on the tract will filter down to success on the road. The F430 has Schumacher’s endorsement and rightly so, it is the stuff of dreams.
There is a reason why the F430 F1 has ‘F1’ in its title, namely that it is a creation developed not only as a road car but using all the know-how of arguably the most successful Formula One team ever. The car certainly lives up to its Formula One relatives, not only can it reach an almighty 196mph and bring 60mph up in just 4 seconds but this Nero Daytona black beauty will hug the road in even the trickiest circumstances. The improved F1-derived gearbox delivers precision gear shifts, allowing for maximum acceleration and driving ease. The ‘Manettino’ dial on the steering wheel delivers performance and piece of mind at your fingertips. Designed to aid your driving experience the ‘Manettino’ adjusts the traction and suspension according to the driving conditions. Electronically controlled differentials ensure the F430 perfectly distributes the torque between the rear wheels, making your drive effortlessly fast and enjoyably sporty. The F430 is a stunningly beautiful car that only matches its looks with its performance.
If Ferrari is the most desirable marque around then it is only because the Pininfarina gurus put them in a position to be seen that way. The design company are responsible for a great number of the world’s most prestigious cars, including the F430. Drawing influences from Ferrari’s F1 team and going back through its long heritage the F430 contains over 70% new design while maintaining the touch of prestige that makes it quintessentially a Ferrari. The gaping air intakes at the front of the car recalls the stunning 1961 F1 ‘sharknose’ Ferrari snout giving the F430 its distinctive image. A mix of technological innovation and luxurious trimmings define the interior, while new seats and thinner transmission makes the cabin roomier than the 360 Modena. Ergonomically, the F430 is near perfect with the new F1 gearshifts having been significantly improved. The F430 F1 represents an amalgamation of classic Ferrari design with cutting edge technological development – no just sit back, tap the accelerator and watch the miles fly by!
