T he 430 Scuderia’s engine is an evolution of the F430’s 90° V8 which has been given a whole series of modifications to boost its specific power output from 114hp per liter to 118.
The inlet ducts and exhaust system have been optimized, most notably through the adoption of the exhaust geometries derived from the F430 Challenge and the use of carbon-fibre on the intake manifold and for the filter housing to aid weight reduction.
Thanks to Ferrari's Formula 1 experience, the 430 Scuderia’s ignition system boasts special coils and, for the first time on a market-targeted car, a dedicated CPU capable of monitoring the ionising currents generated inside the combustion chamber between the spark plug electrodes. This means that every single sparking phenomenon is detected for every cylinder and sparking is faster and more accurate across the board.
Cutting-edge calculation tools were employed to optimise the 430 Scuderia’s intake and exhaust systems and sound damping also with the result that the exhaust and engine sound inside the cabin is clear, powerful and particularly thrilling in full acceleration.
The 430 Scuderia is the first high performance road car after the F430 to sport an electronic differential. Torque is continuously distributed between the wheels via two sets of friction discs (one for each driveshaft) controlled by a hydraulic actuator.
The F1-Trac traction control system, which is also derived from Ferrari’s F1 experience, ensures that even less expert drivers will be able to take the car to the limit, thanks to the exceptional cornering, safety and stability it offers.
The integrated E-Diff and F1-Trac systems offers 40% more acceleration coming out of corners than a traditional traction and stability control system.

T he F1 SuperFast 2 is an evolution of the F1 gearbox used on all of Ferrari’s models and cuts gear-shifting times to just 60 ms, the fastest time of any of the models in the Prancing Horse range, the lowest overall of any automatic gearbox. In the case of the F1 SuperFast 2, absolutely innovative integrated engine and gearbox management programmes allow the combined disengaging/engaging of the gears partly in parallel with letting the clutch in and out.
E-DIFF 2: E-DIFF WITH F1-TRAC
The E-Diff (which is integrated with the gearbox) has to be the component that really copper-fastens the 430 Scuderia’s links to the track. In use for many years now in Formula 1, it is integrated with the car’s stability control system.

RACING MANETTINO
The manettino may have already made an appearance in Ferrari’s road cars but the 430 Scuderia features the special Racing version which puts the emphasis firmly on track-specific sporty driving, giving the driver even more choice in terms of the parameters involved.
With this in mind, in fact, the ICE setting available with the F430 has been replaced with a CT-Off setting which deactivates the car’s traction control without impinging on its stability control system.
Another novelty with the 430 Scuderia is a button on the tunnel which allows the suspension to be controlled separately from the predefined manettino strategy. In short this allows the driver to ensure that the car will be able to deal more efficiently with any asperities, something that is essential to guarantee maximum performance on irregular surfaces.
BRAKES
The 430 Scuderia boasts a specific braking system featuring CCM (carbon ceramic material) discs specifically dimensioned to cope with the car’s boosted performance.
The front discs are now 18 mm larger than those on the F430 and thus more efficient too. The front brake pads are also designed to dissipate the extra heat created by the higher performance and are even more hard-wearing too. These components, together with 6-pot callipers, guarantee blisteringly performance at all times and consistently efficient braking during prolonged track use.
AERODYNAMICS
The 430 Scuderia’s external styling has been honed to improve its aerodynamic efficiency still further over that of the F430, by increasing overall downforce whilst still retaining the same drag values.

7-time World Champion Michael Schumacher was also involved with this lightweight, simple and striking Ferrari with a distinctive engine and exhaust sound.
