Description

  • A stunning example of the driver-focused and lightweight Ferrari 430 Scuderia
  • Equipped with a 503 horsepower, 4,308-cc V-8 mated to an F1-SuperFast2 gearbox
  • One of around 2,000 examples only of the 430 Scuderia believed to have been built
  • Finished in rare Nero with grey racing stripes

When Ferrari launched the F430, enthusiasts were left breathless: Maranello’s engineers had created a truly invincible machine. Not content with what it had, though, for 2007 the storied Maranello marque improved the car even further.

Drawing from the F430 Challenge racer, the road-going Scuderia was lighter, sharper, and faster than the regular F430. Developed with input from seven-time F1 World Drivers’ Champion Michael Schumacher, it shed almost 100 kilograms, sat 15 millimetres lower, and had more sophisticated aerodynamics than the earlier car. The 4,308-cc V-8 was uprated to 503 horsepower while Ferrari engineers added Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and redesigned wheels. The F430’s cutting-edge drivetrain, meanwhile, was tweaked to include a SuperFast2 gearbox, E-Diff2 differential, and reconfigured steering-wheel manettino dial. Put simply, the Scuderia was an F430 for the most demanding drivers—and it could even outpace the mighty Enzo around Fiorano.

Finished in Nero with silver racing stripes, this Scuderia was built in left-hand drive to European specification. The carbon fibre and aluminium cockpit is complemented by lightweight seats trimmed in “technical” fabric; the 19-inch anthracite wheels evoke a unique motor-racing pedigree. A cherished example, this car had covered 56,979 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. The 430 Scuderia was serviced by an official Ferrari workshop in Bavaria just 1,500 kilometres ago (in May 2023), while the car is offered with its Ferrari service book with other manuals, and tools.
