First shown to the public at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show and unveiled by Ferrari’s legendary Formula 1 driver Michael Schumacher, the 430 Scuderia succeeded the outgoing Challenge Stradale as the road-going variant of the F430 Challenge race car. Improvements over the standard F430 coupe were instantly apparent both upon first inspection and behind the wheel. These included a faster-shifting gearbox, an increase in overall downforce due to slightly different bodywork and revised aerodynamics, and the addition of carbon-ceramic brakes as standard.

Delivered new through Ferrari of Long Island, this 430 Scuderia is beautifully presented in Nero with the signature racing stripe in silver. The car’s interior trim perfectly mimics its exterior in Nero Alcantara with stitching and 3D seat inserts in Grigio Chiaro. Further options include contrasting yellow brake calipers and rev counter, carbon-fiber steering wheel with LEDs, stereo with navigation and Bluetooth, and a fire extinguisher. According to the accompanying Carfax report, its first owner took delivery of the new 430 Scuderia in June 2008, residing in Long Island, New York. Years later in the Summer of 2019, the car moved to California where it has remained since. Included with the car is the original owner’s manual, books, spare key, air compressor, Ferrari seat covers, and Ferrari car cover.

Over a decade after its initial introduction, the 430 Scuderia has aged exceptionally well, and its performance is still thrilling, even compared to Ferrari’s more recent offerings. With just over 6,608 miles from new at the time of cataloguing at the exact time of cataloguing, the car is ready to enter the custodianship of its next owner and would be an excellent addition to any collection.
