The 2005 Ferrari F430 Gated 6 / Cx Manual marks a turning point in the Maranello house's V8 lineage, having been developed with a strong Formula 1 influence, both in terms of aerodynamics and on-board electronics. With a design signed by Pininfarina in collaboration with Frank Stephenson, this model introduced innovative visual elements such as the front air intakes inspired by the legendary 156 Formula 1 ‘Sharknose’ and the rear ones with suspended optical clusters. At the heart of the F430 is a 4.3-litre atmospheric V8 engine with 490 hp, completely new at the time and capable of offering immediate response and an enveloping sound, establishing itself as one of the most striking engines of the modern Ferrari era. Technical advances include the E-Diff electronic differential, the Manettino dynamic control system and the extensive use of lightweight materials, taking the driving experience to a new level. This unit, in Rosso Corsa, is all the more special for being equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox, an increasingly rare and desirable configuration, with only around 700 units produced with a left-hand drive in this specification.It also features Ceramic Brakes for precise and long-lasting braking, as well as a carbon rear diffuser, reinforcing its sporty and exclusive character. A true representation of Ferrari in its purest form, made for purists who value the direct mechanical connection between driver and machine.
