Formula 1 champion Michael Schumacher helped unveil a new Ferrari competition-bred car at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, called the 430 Scuderia. It was intended as a road-legal version of the race car competing in Ferrari's single-make Challenge series. It began with the F430 and took it a step farther, utilizing lightweight components, faster-shifting transmission programming, and a new traction control system.

This particular example was assembled in March of 2009. It was distributed to Ferrari of Central New Jersey, in Edison, New Jersey. It was finished in rosso corsa with racing stripes on the hood, and optioned with red brake calipers, grey Alcantara upholstery with contrasting red stitching, complementary red seatbelts, and a fire extinguisher. It came standard with carbon ceramic disc brakes, an electronically governed differential, alloy wheels, automatic climate control, power windows, and extensive carbon fiber interior trim.

Later in life, the car was relocated to Southern California. It was purchased by its current caretaker in early 2016. Since that time, it was treated to a service which included a new serpentine belt, dual fuel pumps, re-charged the air conditioner, and aligned the wheels, which were mounted with new Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires.
