Default Ferrari F430 - media pics

Ferrari has released some pictures of the Ferrari F430.

(below you can see the pics)

The number refers to the cylinders of the V8: 4,3 litre. It produces 490 bhp which is 114 bhp/litre and it gives a power to weight ratio of 2,8 bhp/kg.
It has an electronic differential and a system with which you can adjust damper settings with buttons on the steering wheel. This system is called "marinetto". The gearbox will shift gears in 150 msec, accelerate from 0-100 in 4,0 sec to a top speed of 315 km/h.
In comparison the Lamborghini Gallardo will do it in 4,2 sec and to a top speed of 309 km/h and the Porsche 911 Turbo in 4,2 sec with a top speed of 305 km/h.

Looks like Ferrari has got another winner on their hands!
