Ferrari F430: 490 horses in 8 cylinders

The differential of electronic control or E-Diff and the commandos type Formula 1 in the steering wheel, is two of the innovations that the new Ferrari F430 incorporates, that made debut in the Hall the Automobile of Paris.

With the characteristic red color in the body, with the F430 the new generation of the Ferrari motors of 8 cylinders makes debut, that benefits from the ample experience of the house of Maranello in the matter of aluminum technology, that began with its applications in the Ferrari 360 Modena, and that now has reached new levels with the originating innovations of the single-seaters with which Ferrari competes in Formula 1.
The new Ferrari presented/displayed in Paris is a sport one in which for the first time, in a production vehicle, all the electronic commandos developed to control of integral way all the management and performance of the vehicle, with practically all the commandos trims in the steering wheel or had ergonomic way get up themselves so that the conductor has all the controls by hand. The call system E-Diff or Marinetto allows that the conductive one fits the suspension according to the conditions of handling with no need for separating the hands of the steering wheel.
Compact and light, the impeller of the F430 is a V-8 motor mounted to 90º, that it contributes with his characteristic part of the name of this sport one. With a displacement of 4300 cm3, this motor releases 490 horsepowers, is to say that it has 114 horses by liter, which guarantees an excellent relation peso/potencia of 2,8 kilos by each HP. These characteristics demand of new "berlinetta" of Ferrari an efficient system of brakes, to which it has discs in carbon-ceramic material of optimal performance, which guarantees a great one eficaciaen the braking, one long duration and a prolonged use of the brakes without it undergoes greater wearing downs.

The transmission is derived from the same one that it mounts in Formula 1, its time of gear of the change is reduced to 150 the thousandth of second, allowing to the conductor maximum benefit of the benefits of the F430, that is able to accelerate of 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4 second and to develop a terminal velocity of 315 kilometers per hour. In the profit of this performance also its aerodynamic design plays a decisive role, in whose lines the recent experiences in the field of the competitions are adopted, with a flat body and a back diffusing length that the adhesion force increases.
The F430 indicates the arrival of a new generation of equipped Ferrari models with motors of 8 cylinders.

In the cockpit of the Ferrari F430 they reign, as he is traditional, finished in leather and the own details of the mark like the board with round measurers with bottom yellow, and single two positions: the one of the conductor and his copilot.

Left the design studies of Pininfarina, the new F430, that replaces the Modena 360, will leave on sale in this side of the world in the middle of the year that comes, to a price that is considered in 160 thousand dollars.
