How good is a Ferrari F430?
The handling is incredible, and the ride is pretty good, too. The F430 performs just like you’d expect a Ferrari to. All versions use the same 4.3-litre V8 petrol engine, which gives 483bhp. Performance is effortless from 2000rpm, and upwards of 4000rpm it gives you a real kick in the pants.
What kind of gearbox does a Ferrari 430 have?
While we’re in that area, the 430’s gearbox is one of two things that mark it out as an ‘old’ car. Like the 360 before it, and indeed most proper paddleshift transmissions of the day, it’s a single-clutch automated manual, with a fully automatic mode should you for some reason wish to arrive at your destination needlessly frustrated.
What’s the difference between Ferrari 430 and 488 Pista?
The 430 has an actual key, unlike the 488, but once you’ve stuck it in the ignition and twisted, both start the same way, a button on the steering wheel.
What kind of engine does Top Gear use?
To blame is the 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, which uses all kinds of clever engineering trickery to, far as possible, mimic the character of a N/A motor. It makes 710bhp, but perhaps more impressively, 568lb ft of torque – with the full whack only available in seventh, top gear.
