Ferrari F430 Road Test

From Channel 4:



Assets
Excitingly focused mini-Enzo looks, fabulously energetic engine, ultra-sharp but easy-to-drive handling, an F1 shift which works as it should, huge stopping power with optional carbon-ceramic brakes, every drive is a special occasion. Servicing is cheaper than for 360, too.

Drawbacks
Thirsty on fuel, low nose easy to scrape, infuriating switching-off bleep, you can't open the glovebox with the ignition off

Verdict
All the thrills of a 360 Modena but with tougher looks and the oversteer reined in. The smallest Ferrari is more desirable than ever.

Price
£117,500 approx, with F1 shift. On sale early 2005.

I see a smoothed Enzo in the headlights and the scoops on the rear quarters.

definitely borrows que's from the enzo.

I think its a good move on ferrari's part --- an enzo is, in my opinion, the pinnacle of car-making

Make sure to use plenty of lube on the muffler. Lest you want to get stuck in that thing and end up in the general section with everyone laughing at you as we read your news article.

Yeah, I don’t know why people keep saying it’s a mini Enzo... the ass is Enzo, but the front screams 360.

looks to me like an enzo back and a 360 front

1/2 Enzo + 1/2 360 Modena = F430
