Ferrari 430 Scuderia saw the light of the day in the hands of the world famous racing maestro Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. The sports car can be termed as the successor to the Challenge Stradale. This super model car has been introduced to fight the competition with hot cars like Porsche RS-models and the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera with the extra light weight feature of Ferrari 430 Scuderia. It is in fact extra lighter by 100 kg or 220 lbs but yields better power with 515 PS or 508 hp or 379 kW at 5800 rpm than the standard models of this variety.
The reduced weight to power ratio from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp is a remarkable achievement of this car. Over and above, the super fast semi-automatic transmission, known as “Superfast 2” software enables the car to attain faster 60 millisecond shift-times. The presence of the novel traction control system combines the ‘F1-Trac’ traction and stability control with the ‘E-Diff’ electronic differential quite efficiently.
Ferrari 430 Scuderia attains 0-60 miles per hour or 97 km per hour in 3.1 seconds and 0-100 km per hour or 60 miles per hour in less than 3.6 seconds. It can reach the top speed of 198 miles per hour or 319 km per hour.
There is obvious external difference between the Ferrari 430 Scuderia and the F430. The change includes a redesigned front fascia, the changed side skirts, twin exhaust tips, a modified rear diffuser design, carbon fiber wing mirrors, carbon fiber stylish grille, a couple of racing stripes along the middle and the 430 Scuderia emblem.
