Ferrari F430
The Ferrari F430 is a real race car and comes in two versions: the F430 equipped with a 4.3-litre V8 engine producing 490 horsepower, and the F340 Scuderia, offering 20 more horsepower. And though it will soon make place for the 458 Italia, the F430 continues to seduce because of its exotic lines and the Italian automaker’s prestige, especially. But naturally, its price follows all its attributes…
