The MSRP for a Ferrari F430 was
$186,925 to $217,318 in the United States, £119,500 in the United Kingdom, approximately Ferrari F430 €175,000 in the European Union, and $379,000
for the base model to $450,000 for the Spider F1 in Australia and New Zealand.
The body styling of the Ferrari F430 was revised from its predecessor,
the Ferrari 360, to
improve its
aerodynamic efficiency. Although the Ferrari F430 drag coefficient remained the same, downforce was greatly enhanced. Ferrari F430 despite sharing the same basic Alcoa Aluminium chassis, roof line, doors and glass, the car looked significantly different than the 360. A great deal of Ferrari
F430 heritage was included in the exterior design. At the rear, the Enzo's tail lights and interior vents were added. The
car's name was etched into the Testarossa-styled
driver's side mirror. The Ferrari F430 large oval openings in the front bumper are
reminiscent of Ferrari racing models from the 60s, specifically the 156 "sharknose" Formula One car and 250 TR61 LeMans cars of Phil Hill.

The Ferrari F430 features a 4.3L V8 gas engine derived from a shared Ferrari/Maserati design. This new power plant was a significant departure for
Ferrari, as all previous Ferrari F430 V8's were descendants of the Dino racing program of the 1950s. This fifty-year
development cycle came to an end with the entirely new 4.3L, the Ferrari F430 architecture
of which is expected to replace the Dino-
derived V12 in most other Ferrari cars. The Ferrari F430 engine's
output specifications are: 490 PS (360 kW; 483 hp) at 8500 rpm
and 465 N·m (343 lb·ft) of torque at 5250 rpm, 80% of which is
available below 3500rpm. Despite a 20% increase in displacement, engine weight
grew by only 4 kg and engine dimensions were decreased, for easier
packaging. The connecting rods, pistons and crankshaft were all entirely new,
while the four-valve cylinder head, valves and intake trumpets were copied
directly from Formula 1 engines, for ideal volumetric efficiency. The Ferrari F430 has
a top speed of 196 mph (315 km/h) and can accelerate from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds, 0.3 seconds quicker than the old
model.The brakes on the Ferrari F430 were designed in close cooperation with Brembo (who did the calipers and discs) and Bosch (who did the electronics package), resulting in a new cast-iron alloy for the
discs. The new alloy includes molybdenum which has better heat dissipation performance.
The F430 was also available with the optional Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite brake package. Ferrari F430 claims the
carbon ceramic brakes will not fade even after 300-360 laps at their test track.

The Ferrari F430 featured the E-Diff, a
computer-controlled limited slip active
differential which can vary the
distribution of torque based on inputs.Ferrari F430 such as steering angle and lateral
acceleration.Other notable features of Ferrari F430 include the first application of Ferrari's manettino steering wheel-mounted control knob. Ferrari F430 drivers can select from five different
settings which modify the vehicle's ESC system,Ferrari F430 "Skyhook" electronic suspension, transmission behavior, throttle
response, and E-Diff. The Ferrari F430 feature is similar to Land
Rover's "Terrain Response" system.The Ferrari F430 was also released with exclusive Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 EMT tires, which have a V-shaped tread design,
run-flat capability, and OneTRED technology.In the US, the company requested an exemption from the airbag
design requirements, which was eventually granted, allowing the car to continue
to be sold in the US.
