Ferrari F430 F1


Another screamer from the Italian automaker Ferrari.
(What a surprise, Ferrari makes fast cars...LOL)
The Ferrari F430 F1 replaced the Ferrari 360 around 2004.
The engine is a Ferrari/Maserati designed 4.3 L V8 that puts out 483 hp and 343 pounds of torque.
This gives the F430 a top speed of 197 mph, and allows it to blast through the quarter mile at 122.8 mph in 11.7 seconds.
The F430 retails for anywhere from $186,925 to $257,456 in the US.
There have been a few special versions produced like the F430 Spider, the F430 Challenge, the F430 GT2, the F430 GT3, the 430 Scuderia and the Scuderia Spider 16M.
Fuel economy for the F430 is around 11 mpg city, and 16 mpg on the highway.
