2009 Ferrari 430 Scuderia Review
The overall performance of the Scuderia is so impressive it has achieved a time of one minute, 25 seconds on the Fiorano test track the exact same time as the legendary Ferrari Enzo. Behind the wheel its obvious that its faster, brakes harder, corners with more finesse and control and yes, even changes gears quicker than an F430. Oh, the gear changes! Equipped with an updated version of Ferraris F1-Superfast gearbox the Superfast2 the Scuderia changes gears in just 60 milliseconds compared to 100 ms for the 599 and 150 ms for the F430. Ripping through the gears, the Scuderia screams past 6000 rpm, alerting you that a shift is imminent. There may be 2500 rpm left to go, but in the blink of an eye youre at 8500 and the steering wheel mounted shift lights have all lit up signaling its time to make your move. Second gear and third gear fly by almost as quickly and already Id be looking at a massive speeding ticket were the local law enforcement to see me... and catch me. While braking for a corner and flicking the left paddle to drop gears I am surprised. The rev match on the downshift seems much more refined than on the stock 430. Perhaps Ferrari engineered a little extra throttle on the 430 for show purposes, or perhaps the new Superfast2 gearbox is just that much more efficient. Either way, it was a little disappointing.
Features and Options
Sweeping out of a nicely banked corner it is really starting to sink in that the Scuderia vastly outpaces its standard sibling. While we can partly thank the gearbox, it doesnt hurt that the Scuderia is powered by a massaged version of the same 4.3-liter engine that puts out an additional 20 hp and four ft-lbs of torque thanks to reworked intake and exhaust systems, as well as a boost in compression from 11.3:1 to 11.88:1. The new total of 510 hp comes on at 8500 rpm and 347 ft-lbs of torque are available at 5250. The added horsepower is, however, a somewhat trivial reason for the Scuderias added gusto. The real difference in performance comes as a result of weight reduction. In total 220 lbs have been shaved off for a new curb weight of just under 3,000 lbs. The result is not only in acceleration, with a vastly improved 0-62 mph time of 3.6 seconds versus 4.0 in the standard F430, but in the braking and especially the handling.
Summary
In many ways, the Scuderia is barely a road car, with no floor mats and a Plexiglas engine cover. And yet, with a stereo, power windows, a surprisingly smooth suspension and an engine that can operate with incredibly civility, it could certainly do commuter-duty in a pinch.
