In 2004 Paris Motor Show, Ferrari introduced the successor to the 360 ​​Modena, Ferrari F430. The F430 was one of the most respected automotive creations for the next five years, until 2009, when he will be replaced by the Ferrari 458 Italy. F430 Berlinetta (coupe), F430 Spider and F430 Scuderia: the F430 was also known in three versions. Other variants are not so often: the F430 Challenge, F430 GT2, GT3 and F430 Scuderia F430 Spider 16M.

The F430 has a 360, improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle and curves magazine. The drag coefficient does not change, but it was much more downforce between the two cars. The car looks like the 360 ​​but has a much more aggressive and leaning out of several lines, in the sense that the 360 ​​seemed to be a little more extensive. The 360 ​​was not the only influence on the design of the F430, the Enzo in the rear bumper and front, rear air vents reminiscent of the Ferrari model year 1960, when 156 Formula One car and 250 TR61 Le Mans cars.

The F430 features a 4.3-liter V8 petrol engine 483 hp at 8,500 rpm and 343 lb-ft of torque at 5,250 revolutions per minute for outgoing 360-400 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque at 8500 rpm and 4250 min produces equipped in comparison. This means that the F430 is an increase of 21% and 25% power and torque, or about 360 Despite the low torque of 80% of this capacity is below 3,500 revolutions per minute for disposal. 4300 cc of displacement to the F430, an increase of 20% increase over the outgoing 3586cc model 360, but the weight is just over 4 kg. This is mainly because the last of the Ferrari Dino 360 output derived functional architecture, while the F430 had a completely new design. With the new design, increased capacity and low weight, the Ferrari F430 in a position to a top speed of 200 mph and 0-60 mph in 4.0 seconds to hit flat, 0.5 seconds faster than the Formula One transmission 360 (F1) was compared with the 360, the F430 turns as fast as 150 milliseconds, improved to four times faster than a human heartbeat.

Among a series of performance improvements made very little for the F430, there are two notable changes: manettino brakes and wheels. The brakes were developed in collaboration with Brembo. Options resulting in brake F430 include a new alloy cast iron or carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide, which is as confusing as the name is essentially a brake life, greater heat resistance, less fading. Manettino Wheel is the first application of Ferrari F1-style steering wheel-mounted switch allows the driver to dial to choose from five different institutions of the traction control F430 chassis, select the transmission behavior, throttle response and torque differential change in control .

About 9000 F430s were built between 2004 and 2009, although the number has not been officially confirmed, and more than 3,000 variants. Original selling price of the F430 has varied between $ 186.925 and $ 217.310, depending on the options and have used an F430 is still a selling price of $ 130,000 to $ 210,000.
