Ferrari F430
The main characteristics of the new Ferrari F430 are its light, compact 4,300 cc 90° V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the new Ferrari berlinetta with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight) and a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use.
In addition, a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car (0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph); and an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.
The Ferrari F430 is not the fastest car on this website, it also isn't the most expensive or the most exclusive. However, it may very easily be the most beautiful. The combination of a sexy interior and exterior, world class handling and brakes and more than ample raw power make the F430 attractive on many levels.
