F430 Official: Ferrari reveals F430 Scuderia, not Challenge Stradale

[PanterroR]

From those you mention, GT2 for me! Couldn't care less for some screwderia or superleggera toys...

Couldn't agree more with you. The GT2 is the real deal!

You German car fans! There is nothing wrong with this car, in fact it is a great addition to the sports car world, except for those 1980's tacky Cadillac- style gold wheels. They're awful.

That's why we're members of the GCF and not the ICZ (is there any?)

Ha!

I'm not a fan of the rear treatment (and I might specify the stripes in a different color...), but apart from that I think it looks pretty damn good, rims and all. I'd most definitely pick this over the Gallardo Superleggera and 911 GT2.

 

[martinbo]

It's awesome.

Naruto, this is the "F430 CS" it's just that Ferrari have re-branded it as F430 Scuderia.

Gold wheels not to my taste. For that racy look and better colour co-ordination with the rest of the car they should've gone the anthracite route with thin red piping on the outer edge of the rim. That would've turned incongruity into perfection.

So, what would my choice be? Keep the Lambo. It's by far the better looker and it's an exemplary performer too. But I don't see myself as a Lamborghini owner - no matter how superlative the deliverable.

So it's down to the F430 Scuderia and the GT2.

Naturally aspirated, high revving, rapid-shifting insanity vs. Turbo-thumping, massive midrange, master blaster.

Oh shoot. Somebody flip a coin for me. Either way I'd pop an aneurism and roll around frothing at the mouth at the prospect of having one of these babies. Too hard to choose.

Somebody please create the poll:
Gallardo Superleggera vs. F430 Scuderia vs. 911 GT2

It's the definitive track-biased supercar contest - and the ultimate match up.

 

[PanterroR]

I'll make the poll in 3 minutes...

 

[Cashmere]

this is truly spectacular. Love how they did the rear exhausts. Only thing wrong are the gold wheels. Those CCM brakes (i presume) and CF mirrors looks sick!

I can only imagine how seksy this would look in white with blue stripes and normal silver coloured wheels....

Does anyone else think the wheel design of the Ferrari is very similar to the Porsche GT3/GT2. The Ferrari has sharper edges and slightly thinner spokes than the Porsche, but the design theme is very similar.

Probably just a coincidence as both are design for maximum cooling of the brakes, IMO.

510 from a V8 NA?

We'll see, but somehow i think this one could eliminate AMG and M V8s...

to everything except the looks, but still 599 GTB Fiorano for me, please! Thank you!

Oh yeah, think that's mazing, think again.

3.5-litre Caparo T1 V8 engine:
- 575bhp (425kW) at 10,500rpm
- 420Nm (310lbft) at 9,000rpm


Can/posibly will be tweaked to 17000 rpms version.

Back on topic, cool looking car.

just 510 hp from a 4.3 litre V8 NA.

Artist, doesn't it look cross-eyed, dumb in that pic?

IE: Either yo' holdin' or you and your little roadster move the f on, ok?

I had thought the same thing Monster. Oddly enough, the F430 Scuderia alloy is one of the few alloy designs from Ferrari (in recent times) that I actually like.

 

[wltsm]

I love this car, I think the alloys work well, and the car looks awesome! I can imagine this car looking very hot in white or black with no stickers, and the gold alloys!

Also 510bhp from a 4.3 V8 is amazing, shows how great Ferrari are at making engines!
