Ferrari 430 Scuderia

The Italian Sports car manufacturer Ferrari has come up with it's 2008 release Ferrari 430 Scuderia with it's two official drivers Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa testing on track for 451 laps with fastest lap time being 1.19.708 by Raikkonen. The further tests have been conducted at Jerez de la Frontiera, held by Scuderia Ferrari Malboro from Jan 14-16th. After securing both the championships in 2007, Ferrari is being more careful of it's competitor McLaren and has improved itself on reliability due to the faulty cases occured previously.


The car has now been modified with several changes from the previous releases and is marked as the best of the manufaturer's creation. The car has been incorporated with many changes like the electronic control module that eliminates driving aids including traction control. It has now been incorporated with changes to integrate the SECU and the monocoque changes in the aerodynamics of the body. The carbon fiber of the body and the shorter nose reflecting the aerodynamic function giving a new look to the car and the rear part being fully transperant and the central part incorporated with a single shell windscreen as well as the two butterfly doors makes it look magnificient. The power of the car is maintained at V12 Enzo's 660bhp with the 6-speed F1 style gearbox as it was previously and a lot of changes in the electronics of the car are the highlights.
The technical specifications car would be highlighted by engine being v8 cylinder configuration, 6-speed shiftable auto transmission with a 4-wheel ABS. The car reaches 0-62mph(0-100kmph) in less than 3.6seconds and 0-124mph(0-200kmph) and has a top speed of 196mph(320kmph). The fuel consumption for this giant would be 15.7 l/100kms
