Ferrari 430 Spider

The F430 Spider joins the F430 as the latest addition to the new generation of Ferrari V8-engined sport cars. The Spider boasts all the F430's stunning technology, itself the product of a close working relationship with Ferrari's Sportiva F1 racing division.
The track is the Prancing Horse's finest research and development arena and the impact of the Scuderia's experience has had a huge impact on both the F430 Spider.
The F430 Speder's highly innovative aerodynamics, honed to generate special flows to increase downforce and improve cooling, and the F1 gearbox featuring upgraded software, are just two examples of how Ferrari's technological excellence has been seamlessly transferred from the track to road.
One of the most important new features introduced in the F430 was the electronic differential
( E-Diff ) initially developed by Ferarri for its F1 single-seaters and designed to male the most of the engine's torque to optimise traction. The handily placed steering wheel-mounted commutator switch ( better known to the Scuderia's drivers as the manettino ), which directly controls the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics without distracting the driver, is another. The F430 Spider's light, compact 4,308 cc engine is completely new and gives the car its name.
It punches out 490 hp (483 bhp) and delivers a specific power output of 114 hp/l and 465 Nm of torque.
Needless to say, performance is outstanding: acceleration speed in excess of 310 Km/h. Every area of the F430 Spider has been influenced by Formula 1. For instance, owners can order a braking system using carbon-ceramic discs which offer superior stopping power and give the driver the satisfying feeling of being in complete control of the vehicle even in the most demanding situations.
The F430 Spider's all-aluminium bodywork has also been carefully strengthened as has its chassis to guarantee both occupant safety and the structural rigidity demanded by a car as high performance as this.
Two very robust steel roll-bars are integrated into the windshield structure to guarantee maximum occupant protection. The electric hood is fully automatic and folds away completely into a very compact space indeed, so that the engine can be seen in all its glory at all times, despite the Spider's uncompromising central-rear engine layout.
