The Ferrari F430 is Ferrari’s latest mid-engine V8-powered sports car, available as both a coupe and an open-top Spider, replacing the 360 Modena. The Ferrari 308 GTB was the first mid-engine V8 Ferrari and is one of the most popular Ferraris of all time. The 308 was followed by the 348 for 1990 and the F355 for 1995 before being replaced by the 360 Modena for 2000. The 360 Spider was added during the 2001 model year. The F430 continues the extensive use of aluminum for the chassis, body and suspension, which began with the 360 Modena. An optional braking system with carbon-ceramic discs will be available. The overall design of the F430 is very aerodynamic and includes elements used in racing, such as a flat underbody and a large diffuser that dominates the rear view of the car. The diffuser creates downforce and eliminates the need for a large rear wing, although the body does include a small lip at the center of the short rear deck. The design is much more aggressive than the 360 Modena, with sharper, chiseled lines and a less organic shape.
