F1 Gearbox, carbon/ceramic brakes, carbon fiber interior trim, Racing Red with tan Daytona leather seats and black canvas top. Is the Ferrari F430 the world’s most perfect sports car? It’s hard to argue against it, especially in Spider configuration, where all the coupe’s virtues are magnified without losing any performance. It is a car that can make an average driver look like a hero, and a skilled driver can dance with it all day long and never grow tired of its moves. Showing just 13,641 original miles, this Racing Red F430 has been properly serviced, and has always been a fair-weather toy. The spectacular Ferrari paint and aluminum bodywork are in nearly new condition, with on a few signs of use that are perfectly appropriate to a car designed to be driven as this one is. Never in an accident or damaged, the body panels and paint are 100% factory original and show signs of careful maintenance since new. The power convertible top folds effortlessly and shows no signs of wear or damage. The tan leather interior carries optional Daytona leather seats, which are designed to mimic the seats in the legendary 365 Daytona of the early 1970s. Showing almost zero wear and no damage, the interior of the F430 Spider is extremely well preserved. You’ll also note that this car is equipped with the F1 clutchless gearbox, whose shift speed and firmness can be adjusted using the Manettino switch on the steering wheel, which also controls the level of electronic intervention of things like the traction control, stability control, Skyhook suspension, and the E-Diff electronic differential. Powered by a mid-mounted 4.3-liter 32-valve DOHC V8 engine, the F430 makes 483 sonorous horsepower at a dizzying 8500 RPM. The thrust it generates is like a narcotic, and the effortless ease with which it dispatches slower traffic will make you grin like an escaped convict. Handling is about as good as it gets for street-legal cars, with perfect fore-and-aft balance and precise steering that all but speaks to you in real-time Italian about what's going on below. The carbon/ceramic brakes are powerful, and their high-temperature performance is superior in every way to conventional steel or iron rotors—you will never, ever run out of brakes in this car. Those gorgeous 19-inch alloys wear relatively recent Bridgestone Potenza performance radials. With up-to-date service records, this F430 Spider is ready to drive and enjoy this summer. Of course, describing a car like this is like preaching to the choir—it’s likely that anyone interested in such a car already knows as much about it as I do, if not more, so the highest praise I can give it is that it has lived a gentle life and has been properly serviced by an authorized Ferrari service facility. Loaded with options and with performance that still sparkles despite the arrival of the only incrementally faster 456 Italia, the F430 Spider is a very special car indeed. This is a fine example that delivers on the thrills that its shape promises. For more information and photos, please visit
