the-f430-scuderiaThe F430 Scuderia is absolutely a supercar to be preferred for but is it worth the extra 50k more than the standard f430?Ferrari also declare that it is as fast as an enzo round their track in Italy and that it is much easier to drive. The F430 scuderia dish up as the successor to the challenge stradale. The f430 scuderia was first exposed by Micheal Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. The F430 Scuderia is expected to compete with lightweight cars such as the Lamborghini Gallardo superrleggera and the Porsche RS models. It was also tested against this lamborghini by top gear.

The F430 Scuderia is lighter (by 100 kg/220 lb) and more powerful (515 PS (379 kW; 508 hp) at 8500 rpm) than the standard F430. Most of the power in the Scuderia arrives from a changed intake, scuderia exhaust and an ion-sensing knock-detection system that allows for a higher compression ratio. Therefore the weight-to-power ratio in the f430 scuderia is reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp.

As well to the weight saving measures, the f430 Scuderias semi-automatic transmission gains improved “Superfast”, known as “Superfast2″, software for faster 60 millisecond shift-times. A new traction control system combines the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia does 0-60 miles per hour in 3.1 s and 0-100 km/h in less than 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 198 miles per hour.
