The hardcore Ferrari F430 Exposed

Review of hardcore Ferrari F430

The newest model of Ferrari i.e. F430, which was recently sighted at the Nurburgring, and which is much lighter and faster than the previous model is expected to make its official debut within the next few months. Instead of its own testing track the new hardcore Ferrari F430 was seen tested on German track, a F599 GTB Fiorano, but Herr Schumacher doesn’t appear to be behind the wheel of the tweaked mid-engined V8 F430, though there is no doubt that its specification would certainly appeal to the F1 champion.

Features

1. The standard F430 offers a power to weight ratio of 3.0kg per bhp using Ferrari’s official weight of 2. 1450kg
2. V8 engine.
3. 483bhp to 520 bhp horsepower.
4. Side windows of the 360 CS due to safety legislation – as well as a stripped-out interior.

7. More track-biased suspension set up.
8. F1 paddleshift transmission.
9. Improved cooling for that more powerful engine.

Special edition Ferrari 612 Sessanta celebrates 60

A choice of Grigio scuro and Nero with a Grigio scuro sideline, it’s mostly color and trim. That's Tifosi for flat black and gray, part of its Colori Classici '50s and '60s colors. Interior is new "natural" leather. Rubino Micalizzato with Nero Daytona, a.k.a. metallic burgundy and black, and with gray interior, is also available. The car you can buy for Ferrari's 60th anniversary -- well, could buy if there were any left to sell -- is the 612 Sessanta.A lot of new trim details, carbon-ceramic brakes with black calipers, a rear parking camera, TV tuner and cruise control and new 19-inch wheels, the car comes with an electro-chromatic sunroof featuring three transparency positions. Here's where it goes beyond cosmetics: Ferrari lightened and stiffened the frame to counteract the extra weight of the sunroof and other features.
And here is the rest of it.
