2008 Ferrari F430 Spider 6-Speed

Sold

Two-Owner Gated 6-Speed Manual F430 Spider. Extremely Clean and Complete Example in Great Colors.

Introduced in 2004 at the Paris Motor Show, the Ferrari F430 was among the most advanced Ferrari road cars ever at the time. Gaining more than half a liter of displacement and 83hp over its predecessor, the engine is an 8,500 RPM naturally-aspirated screamer that produces more than 110hp per liter. Also noteworthy was the transition from timing belt to timing chain, which dramatically reduced the complexity and cost of major services. The car was sharpened, both dynamically and aesthetically over its 360 forebear. The Pininfarina design, led by Frank Stephenson, enhanced downforce through the use of advanced aerodynamic testing while twin front ovoid air intakes recalled the legendary 1961 156 Formula 1 car’s “shark nose.” The platform was an evolution of the 360’s groundbreaking aluminum chassis, while additional mechanical innovations included an electronic limited slip active differential (E-Diff), Manettino steering wheel controls for the first time on a Ferrari road car, and Skyhook electronically adjustable suspension.

This particular example is from the last model year of the F430 and is a gated 6-speed manual transmission car which was sold new by Ferrari of Silicon Valley on the 20th of December 2008 and has had just two Northern California owners from new. It is in exceptionally good condition and is complete with original books set, tools, compressor, and car cover.
