Description
The Ferrari F430 Spider is an exceptional example of automotive engineering, especially given its manual transmission, which makes it a rarity among the last of Ferrari's V8-powered models.
- Engine:
The F430 Spider is powered by a 4.3-liter (4308 cc) V8 engine. This engine marked a significant step in Ferrari's evolution, replacing the V8s derived from the Dino racing program.- Power: 490 PS (483 hp or 360 kW) at 8,500 rpm
- Torque: 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, with 80% of the torque available below 3,500 rpm.
- Top Speed: Over 315 km/h (196 mph).
- Acceleration: 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 3.6 seconds, improving by 0.6 seconds over previous models.
- Transmission:
The manual transmission in this F430 Spider makes it particularly special. It’s one of the last Ferrari V8s to feature a manual gearbox before Ferrari moved to F1-style paddle shifters in most models. This provides a more engaging driving experience, especially for enthusiasts who prefer the tactile feedback and control of a traditional transmission. - Chassis & Design:
- Bodywork: Nero Daytona exterior, which gives the car a stunning, glossy black finish with deep metallic reflections.
- Seats: Nero Daytona-style leather seats, which are both luxurious and sporty, complementing the car’s performance-focused interior.
- Condition: The car is in immaculate condition, and it is noted for having exceptional bodywork, indicating that it has been meticulously cared for.
- Collectability:
With only a limited number of Ferrari V8 models equipped with a manual transmission, the F430 Spider in this configuration is considered a rare and highly collectible vehicle. Its blend of performance, craftsmanship, and the last of the "manual" V8 engines makes it a coveted car among Ferrari collectors. - Included Items:
The car is being sold with a complete service history, wallet, and charger, further enhancing its appeal and showing that it has been well-maintained.
