2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia

The 430 Scuderia is Ferrari's most focused road-going F430, developed with input from Michael Schumacher and built around a 4.3-litre naturally aspirated flat-plane-crank V8 producing 503 bhp. Weight is cut by 100 kg over the standard car to a claimed 1,250 kg dry, and the six-speed F1-SuperFast2 gearbox swaps ratios in around 60 milliseconds. Ferrari quotes 0-60 mph in 3.1 seconds and a top speed of 198 mph, with E-Diff2, F1-Trac and the manettino tying the driveline and stability systems together.

This 2008 example has covered 28,800 miles and is finished in Rosso Scuderia over a Nero 3D Technical Cloth and Alcantara interior. The options list leans toward the track-day end of the spectrum: a carbon-fibre steering wheel with upper crown LEDs, carbon door sills, four-point Rosso harnesses, a fire extinguisher, switchable sports exhaust and Grigio racing stripes. Rosso Scuderia brake calipers, Rosso stitching and an Argento dedication plate complete the specification, along with integrated satnav and iPod installation.

The car is supported by a full Ferrari and Ferrari specialist service history. With its carbon-ceramic brakes, titanium springs, carbon seats and exposed aluminium floor, the Scuderia remains one of the most collectible of the V8 Ferraris, and mileage under 30,000 with a well-documented history and desirable factory extras is a combination that is increasingly hard to find.
