Novitec Rosso Twin-Supercharged Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Mark Arnold — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 12:30:00 EDT

What happens when you bolt two superchargers to a Ferrari 430 Scuderia? Well, you get 717 HP at 8,350 RPM, and 532 lb-ft of torque at 6,250 RPM. That massive power is good for 216 MPH when equipped with an available taller gear ratio. Accelerating from a standstill, you'll hit 62 MPH in 3.5 seconds, and 124 MPH in 10.1 seconds. But don't think that this is just a straight-line showoff — at least it'd better not be for the price.

The standard Ferrari 430 Scuderia is already known for it's handling prowess, but Novitec Rosso goes one step further with new lowering springs. Grip is also aided by bigger Pirelli rubber, 235/30 ZR 20 in the front and 325/25 ZR 20 in the rear, wrapped around the new rims. There are other cosmetic tweaks here and there, but seeing as the whole package costs about $74,000 in addition to the cost of a standard Ferrari 430 Scuderia, we would expect nothing less.

Matte Black Ferrari F430 Down On The Geneva Street

Mark Arnold — Fri, 02 May 2008 14:40:00 EDT

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!

What's a Monday without some serious Ferrari pr0n, starring the recently revealed F430 Scuderia. Make that a whole mess of them, being flogged on a patch of tarmac. You don't have to be one of the tifosi to get a vicarious charge from that sound. [via Carscoop]

Ferrari Reveals F430 Scuderia For "Friends" Ahead of Frankfurt

Ray Wert — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 09:46:00 EDT

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]

Ferrari F430 Scuderia Revealed!

Mama Mia! Ferrari's just dropped a few shots of their next Italian supercar they'll be officially unveiling in Frankfurt. It's the Scuderia edition F430, a 2-seater berlinetta with an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the standard F430, and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm. Full press release below the jump. [Hat tip to Supercars.net]

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
Michael Schumacher will officially unveil the car at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coupe and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.

The new model is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.

The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the standard F430, and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm.

Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest F1 software - Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.

Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.

The 430 Scuderia will be officially unveiled by Michael Schumacher on September 11 2007 at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt.

Scuderia Scooter: Ferrari Launches 2007 F1 Car

Mike Spinelli — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 14:20:11 EST

It's that time of year again — time for all good Scuderia Ferrari engineers to smile nervously, as the product of a year's worth of sleepless nights bombs onto the Fiorano track for the first time. That product is the F2007 — Ferrari's entry for the coming F1 season, which is being preliminarily shaken down this week. This year's F1 regulation book requires additional front and rear crash worthiness and lateral protection, causing a weight penalty of 10 kilos (22 lbs., ironically equal to the poundage loss of Schumacher's swelled head). Known as Project 658, the new car, which is longer than its predecessor F2006, incorporates a new suspension setup that required alterations in body design — including a reshaping of intakes to accommodate engine changes. A redesigned, carbon-fiber gearbox housing — which holds a new, seven-speed transmission and quick-shift system — allows for a narrower rear. Is it enough to win back the constructors title from Renault, or will big red again be force-fed escargots. We'll see. – Mike Spinelli
