This is the watermarked, low-res size, but it's still pretty snazzy. It took a long damn time getting the red stripe to blend with the color of the car. I finally went with #FF0000 and made it semi-transparent. Enjoy.

(from Ferrari Press Release) The F430 signals the arrival of a brand new generation of Ferrari 8-cylinder models. This new car takes Ferrari’s extraordinary achievements with aluminium technology, begun with the 360 Modena, to a whole new level, and offers a series of extremely significant innovations directly derived from the Ferrari Formula 1 single-seaters.

Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted switch (better known to the Formula 1 Scuderia’s drivers as "manettino"), which manages the integrated systems governing vehicle dynamics.

The other main characteristics of the new F430 are its light, compact 4,300 cc 90° V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the new Ferrari berlinetta with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight); a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use (optional); a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car (0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph) and an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.

The car will be officially presented during the Paris Motor show in September 2004.

Nice job man...wish i could figure out how to use PSP8 so I could make some badass wallpapers!

Awesome wallpaper...the red stripe looks great
Hopefully one day before I die I can drive a Ferrari with a steering wheel mounted shifter.

ok, a nice and sexy car, even though it looks almost exactly like a 360. and why did they put only a V-8 in it. Ferrari usually puts a V-10 in most of their cars. but still a sexy car nonetheless.

BoCo · 08-26-2004, 09:56 AM

Ferrari never uses V10s, at least not in the least, perhaps, two decades. They always use V8s or V12s. I don't know where you get your info.

I was thinking the same thing, but it was more like why didn't they put a V12 in that thing! But I bet that V8 has some damn nice pick up!

...yes, what with the 490bhp and F1-derived components, I suspect it should have pretty decent pickup...
