It is fair to say that Ferrari honed and fettled just about every detail of the F430 to create the Scuderia. For the sonorous V-8 engine, the piston crowns were reprofiled and refined, whilst a revised carbon fibre air intake and higher flowing exhaust system were also employed. Their combined effect allowed for a compression ratio increase and a rise in power output to over 500 bhp.

Hardware and software improvements were also made to the transmission, enabling gear changes in just 60 milliseconds, which was barely any slower than what Michael Schumacher, a key contributor to the project, was experiencing in his concurrent Formula 1 car. This, alongside significant advancements to the aerodynamics, allowed the Scuderia to lap Fiorano faster than the Enzo; an extremely impressive feat given the Enzo’s sizeable power advantage.

In spite of this potential, the Scuderia should not be considered solely as a stripped-out track special. Creature comforts such as air conditioning remained, alongside swathes of Alcantara and reclining seats. The revised management software even allowed for the active suspension to be controlled independently to the engine and gearbox modes, permitting supple suspension modes with the fastest gear changes; something that is not possible in a regular F430.

This particular F430 Scuderia was delivered to its first Dutch owner through Munsterhuis Sportcars B.V. in January 2008. It presents beautifully in its eye-catching Bianco Avus 100 colour scheme and yellow brake callipers. Inside, the nero carbon fibre racing seats are contrasted by the yellow tachometer, whilst the trims are carbon fibre throughout. Naturally, it has always been expertly cared for by Ferrari main dealers, It is thus offered for sale and ready to be enjoyed to the full by its next owner.
