The Ferrari F430 Spyder will be unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show in March.
The F430 signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models. This new car takes Ferrari's extraordinary achievements with aluminium technology, begun with the 360 Modena, to a whole new level, and offers a series of extremely significant innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters.

Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted switch (better known to the Formula 1 Scuderia's drivers as 'manettino'), which manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics.

The other main characteristics of the new 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); a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use (optional); 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 non-spyder version of the Ferrari F430 was presented at the 2004 Paris Auto Show.

Ferrari has a long history of making exceptional sports cars. The F430 debuted at the 2004 Paris Auto Show and was introduced into the United States in 2005. The styling is noted for being curvaceous and aerodynamic and continuing to set the standards for Italian design.

The F430 is powered by a mid-engine 483 horsepower V-8 with a 4.3-liter displacement. Car & Driver magazine reports acceleration of 0-60 can be done in 3.5 seconds, making it the third quickest Ferrari ever manufactured.

The top speed on this car is quoted to be 197 miles per hour.
