Welcome Back: 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia

Scud Rocking good times...


This is Ferrari's answer to the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It's called the Ferrari 430 Scuderia.

Ferrari's 430 Scuderia is a hardcore lightweight version of the Ferrari F430. It was revealed by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and it was made to compete against lightweight versions such, even the Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. It lost 100kg of weight and the V8 engine now produces 515PS of power. The Scuderia comes with a semi-automatic transmission called Superfast2 that has faster shift time of 60 milliseconds. 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and it has a top speed of 198mph.

Jeremy Clarkson reviewed this in one episode of Top Gear and thanks to The Stig, the Scuderia set a lap time of 1:19.7, faster than the SLR McLaren.

In Clarkson's DVD, Thriller, the Scuderia is faster than the Gallardo Superleggera round the Snetterton Track courtesy of The Stig, who was very angry when Jeremy Clarkson blew him up in a dynamite powered Mercedes.

This car is listed as a unicorn car. How do you get it? I'm afraid you have to find out to yourself....
