I saw an F430 in Guildford recently. Looks absolutely stunning in the flesh. No need to change it.

Those seats are Carrera GT buckets.

Didn't like the journalism in this article much

If you can resist the lure of twin superchargers and the promise of 636bhp with 638Nm of torque
That's it???There must be more to say about this option.

I rather like it - but then again I am only 19.

But nonetheless, the kit adds more visual 'Beef' to the F430 and it now, in my eyes at least, looks like a proper, aggressive supercar than merely the default choice for those with the money that the standard car is. That said, the surfacing around the front intakes could be sharpened up to make it look less aftermarket.

Hmm the seats or the journalism? On reflection the seats aren't CGT, they just looked like it until I clicked on the zoomed in picture They are similar.

WRT to the journalism I find it hard to put my finger on it and I'm regretting criticising the chap now, but it just seems very amateur. Perhaps a bit of journalism from a club magazine etc. A fragment like this just doesn't read well to me, and nor does it confer a convincing driving impression :

'When you are approaching a corner at full noise and the time comes to bottle out...'

Other parts seem like barely reworded sections of press release, dripping with unlikely superlatives and tech stats. In addition, the repeated use of 'we' seems atypical of this type of journalism.

I'm not a professional editor, so I'm just doing my best to try and work out what I didn't like. Is the author a pistonheader? As I feel like I've been pressed into burying the hatchet... into his back

What are you all moaning about? That is an amazing looking car.
When I win the Euro Lottery this weekend, I will be off to buy one. Spoilers included.

I think that suits the F430 well, doesn't ruin the lines but makes it a bit more agressive (i still prefer the 360's looks to a standard f430 at the mo)

If your gonna stand out from the crowd may aswell do it properly!

If it`s any consolation Dan , imo I think you did ok trying to highlight your criticism. The quoted sentence does look macho/i`m the man/ in a hairy chested way and a little out of place but I doubt if I could do better.

I didn't even look at the interior, I saw it now and it does look cheap, I would have either left the interior stock or I would have done leather racing buckets, I don't really like suede.

I like that a lot, including the wing. I don't think the diffusor should be body coloured, the seat insert colour is not to my taste and it should have harnesses, but overall a thumbs up.

Apart from the colour of the interior (I would prefer all black) and the rear wing - I think it looks good.

Looks damn good. I wonder how long the engine would last with 636 hp being pushed out of it.

Engine/suspension/brake mods sound fantastic.

But the bodykit/wheels/interior are awful IMHO

Roll on the F430 Challenge Stradale!


I concur!
