Ferrari 430 Scuderia

The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is a two-seat, mid-engined sports car produced by Ferrari from 2007 to 2009. Styled by Frank Stephenson, the 430 Scuderia was unveiled at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show by seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher (who was heavily involved in the cars development). Essentially a more track-focused version of the F430, the 430 Scuderia is lighter and more powerful than the car it is based on due to significant weight reduction and a revised exhaust and intake system. The car was powered by a 4.3L F163E V8 mated to a 6-speed F1Superfast2 automated manual, with improved software allowing for faster shifts; the engine now produces 503 horsepower, with the car capable of going 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.6 seconds. A highly-limited spider version, the Scuderia Spider 16M, was introduced in 2009, the last year of the 430 Scuderias production run. It is estimated that between 1,500 to 2,000 430 Scuderias were produced.
