The new Ferrari F430
The latest vehicle developed by Ferrari, F430 costs $228,850 and there are only 140 produced. It has a 4.3 liter, 490 hp at 8500 rpm, V8, 19 inch Pirelli slicks mounted on center locking rims, a Lexan windscreen, six-point racing harness and FIA-compliant roll cage, gearbox tuning that reduces fifth and sixth gear final-drive ratios and quickens overall shifts, a carbon fiber intake manifold. The weight-saving efforts shave roughly 225 pounds off the 3196-pound street car.
