That's right. The 430 Scuderia, a V-8-powered, aluminum "volume-sales" model we all kind of assumed was just another lightened, mid-cycle riff on the F430 turns out to be one serious supercar. It may be Ferrari's best-performing GT car ever, despite its fire-sale $272,306 price. It is unquestionably the Ferrari that mere owners -- not factory test drivers or F1 world champions -- will be able to drive the fastest on demanding roads or race circuits without winding up on wreckedexotics.com.

Re: Motor Trend - First Test: 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Without any doubt, this would be my supercar of choice right now if I had the means. Absolutely love the F1 tech that is incorporated into this car. That e-diff and lightning fast sequential manual transmission are the highlights for me. I also find the F430 Scuderia is simply far better looking than any other supercar out there.

Also, I find that the articles from Motortrend are getting better and better. They are really focusing now on evaluating the performance of cars with good write ups and technical information about the cars.
