2008 | Ferrari F430 Spider
Seller's Introduction
Overview
Unveiled in 2005, Ferrari’s F430, was a marvel of engineering and design informed by the manufacturer’s Formula One heritage. At its heart, compression raised to 11.3:1, a flat-plane crankshaft, and formidable output of 490hp defined enthusiast-grade performance. Additionally, the company’s first use of its 'Manettino' steering wheel-mounted control knob offered drivers on-the-fly suspension adjustments while in motion.
.
This 2008 Ferrari F430 Spider is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 paired with a six-speed F1 sequential gearbox and is finished in Silverstone Gray over Red leather. Beneath a new retractable soft top, the cabin features manually-adjustable seats upholstered in red leather w/matching door panels and roll hoops plus black carpets. Amenities include automatic climate control, a Ferrari-branded CD stereo, a high-power Hi-Fi audio system with a subwoofer, and a glass wind deflector.
.
The car’s Manettino steering wheel frames an optional yellow 10k-rpm center tachometer tracking high-rev thrills against a resplendent exhaust note. Factory 19″ alloy wheels wear 225/35 front and 285/35 rear Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires, while braking is provided by red Ferrari-branded calipers and cross-drilled carbon-ceramic rotors. Showing 29k miles, this F430 Spider is sold with manufacturer’s literature, factory accessories, and service records dating back to 2011.
