2005 FERRARI F430

Manufactured between 2004 and 2009, the Ferrari F430 succeeded the hugely successful 360 Modena and, according to Ferrari, was over 70% new compared with its predecessor, itself a ground-breaking model. Its aluminium chassis was stiffer and more rigid than that of the 360, while a new engine, F1 transmission, electronic differential and extensively revised chassis combined to deliver a significantly more focussed driving experience. Although its styling is clearly related to that of the 360 Modena, the F430 was, in reality, an almost entirely new design.

Penned largely by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari's design chief, Frank Stephenson, the F430 remains a striking and contemporary-looking supercar today. Sharper and more purposeful than the 360, its styling incorporates subtle cues from the Enzo, particularly around the rear light treatment and aerodynamic detailing.

Offered here is a UK-supplied Ferrari F430 equipped with the desirable F1 gearbox. Finished in the classic combination of Rosso Corsa over Crema leather, it was first registered on 8th November 2005 and, at the time of cataloguing, the odometer displayed just 25,880 miles from new.

The car was specified with over £6,500 of factory options, including Daytona-style seats with Nuovo Rosso carpets, Rosso contrast stitching, a Crema leather headlining, 19-inch Challenge alloy wheels in silver with Rosso brake calipers, electrically adjustable seats, Scuderia Ferrari wing shields, climate control and more.

This F430 benefits from an impressive Ferrari main dealer service history as detailed below:
