GT5 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Today's car for you delectation view-able in my GT5 pictures is the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.


Wearing a coat of Bianco Avus (aka white), it is pictured here once again at Siena - Piazza del Campo.


Way I understand it, the 2007 Ferrari 430 Scuderia is a souped up version of the base F430 coupe, itself a high performance version of Ferrari's V8 cars. But there is also the 2005 Ferrari 430 Spider which is a retractable roof roadster.


The body shape may have been refined "with the aid of the ultra-sophisticated computer simulations used to fine-tune the Scuderia's winning Grand Prix cars".







But it's still Pininfarina.














It has a transparent hatch over the engine bay.






F430's famous transparent hatch with a view on the engine.



The Manettino control knob on the right of the steering wheel there which allows you (or actually the driver which is unlikely to be you or me) to select one of five settings for the electronic stability-control system.


The car is full of electronics, including launch control, computer controlled E-Diff limited slip differential.








It was said that, in terms of performance, the F430 is third only to the Enzo and the 599 GTB.
