The F430 Spider was designed by Pininfarina with aerodynamic simulation programs used for their Formula 1 cars. Despite sharing the same basic aluminium chassis, roofline, doors, and glass, the F430 looked significantly different from the 360 Modena it replaced. Being the haloed brand they are, however, a great extent of Ferrari’s iconic design heritage was still included in the exterior design, as evidenced by the Ferrari Enzo-inspired tail lights and engine cover vents at the rear.

Where the F430 differed significantly from the 360 Modena was the way it drove. Thanks to Ferrari’s experience in Formula 1, the F430 was bestowed with the honour of introducing the “Manettino”. This steering wheel-mounted dial controlled the E-Diff, ESC, Skyhook suspension and throttle response to offer a level of handling never before experienced in a road-going Ferrari.

This spotless F430 Spider is in excellent condition both aesthetically and mechanically. It is religiously serviced by a Ferrari specialist and has been recently repainted in its original Rosso Scuderia colour.
