Thank you for bidding on the 2008 Ferrari F430 Scuderia. The F430 Scuderia not only bears the name of the company's Formula 1 outfit, it also reflects many details found only in the company's single-seater racing cars. Michael Schumacher was actively involved in the development of the Scuderia, so it was fitting the car was first unveiled to the public by the seven-time F1 champion at the IAA Motor Show in Frankfurt. The Scuderia is 220 lbs lighter than the regular F430 thanks to the use of lighter materials, including carbon fiber, carbon fiber Super Racing seats, and the removal of sound insulation and carpets. The engine, in the meantime, has been tuned to produce 510 horsepower at 8,500 rpm, a 27 hp improvement. The Scuderia also sports the exclusive car maker's F1 Superfast electronic transmission with the latest programming that reduces shift times to just 60 milliseconds, according to Ferrari. The Scuderia represents the first use of a combined E-Diff electronic differential with F1-Trac stability control, settings for which are controlled by the steering wheel-mounted manettino dial.
