The new model is a special edition based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented customers. Development focused on light weight, minimum trim and innovative technology to produce a car that is intensively focussed on high performance and maximum driver participation.

The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1,250 kg - 100 kg less than the F430 - and to the naturally-aspirated 4,308 cc V8's engine, which is boosted to 510 hp at 8,500 rpm.

High performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest F1 gearchange software - Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.

Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.
