[edit] Advertising Alert

"A car with such performance needs to be equipped with the best tires on the market," said Jean Jacques Wiroth, European director of Original Equipment Sales and Marketing for Goodyear tires, adding "we are proud that Ferrari chose the Goodyear Eagle F1 with run-flat technology."

This sound like an advertisemenmt to me. Consider deletion?--Anxietydescending (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Launch Control

Does the manual transmission have the "launch control" (euro model)?

[edit] Supercar or Sports Car?

I think the F430 should be considered a supercar due to the fact that it has great performance and is quite rare and exotic. It can't be considered a supercar, as it is like a Chevrolet Corvette in the USA: a very powerful car, but not a supercar.


Now hold on the new Corvette Zr1 should be considered a supercar in price and performance!

[edit] Challenge Stradale Edition

It states that the Challenge Stradale (CS) edition will have weight savings of 100kg, then it says the reduction of items such as AC and carpets means it looses 250kg from standard. Is this wrong?

[edit] US release

um why would the US release date be any more significent than anyone elses, wikipedia wasn't US centric last time I checked.

[edit] Renaming of the "F430 Scuderia" to "430 Scuderia"

The actual name is not going to have the "F". In all the press releases and pictures its is shown and named as the "430 Scuderia".

Thanks :)


  • I second the above comment - at present, the article's name can effectively be read as "Ferrari Ferrari 430", which is clearly something of a tortology and hence a bit silly!
