Matte Black Ferrari F430 Down On The Geneva Street

Now, we understand there's still an ongoing debate on the coolness of flat black paint jobs, but let's raise the question again. This time, we've got a certain Ferrari F430 Scuderia weighing in on the matter. We thought the Scuderia was a vast improvement over the styling of the standard F430, but this non-glossy example takes it to a whole new level. In the process it loses the tacky racing stripes, too. It looks like something that took a wrong turn off of the Fiorano circuit during a secret testing session. But do you think it would've looked better in a normal gloss black?

Edit: Ok, so it turns out this isn't a paint job, but a slickly-executed vinyl wrap. Hat Tip to Jamieson!

Well, after Ferrari unveiled it for "friends" last week, and for select media a few weeks prior to that, they decided the peons can see it today. So without further ado, here's the new F430 Scuderia. Don't for a moment try to contain that cargasm you're having. We didn't.

Ferrari Reveals F430 Scuderia For "Friends" Ahead of Frankfurt

Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo decided he wanted to first unveil (we mean after the press photos) the new F430 Scuderia to a select group of "friends" before it's officially unveiled to the full spectrum of media at the Frankfurt Auto Show next week. So, he invited all of his "friends" to the Maranello Fiorano circuit to see him lift the sheet unofficially with two more of his friends, F1 drivers Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen — and a female driver who we can't quite make out. Why a female driver? Well, because, as Luca says, "it's quite impossible to open a car without a woman." Who knew? All we know is we've got some more video to go along with that first clip we've shown you of the new F430 Scuderia. [via Autoblog]
