Ferrari South Bay is thrilled to bring to market this wonderful Classiche-Certified F430 coupe, finished in lustrous Nero Daytona with Nero Leather accented with Rosso Stitching. The gated 6-Speed manual transmission needs no introduction: it was very rarely optioned from the factory, with only ~5% of the total production run being built with a manual transmission. While Ferrari don't share production numbers, it is estimated there are only about 850 F430s equipped with the manual transmission. Indeed the manual transmission was selected so rarely that Ferrari opted not to offer a manual transmission in the F430's successor, the 458. And so with VERY rare exception, the F430 was the last Ferrari available with a manual transmission from the factory. While driving any Ferrari is a magical experience, driving a Ferrari with a manual transmission is a transformative, singular experience. It is a combination which allows you to immerse yourself in mechanical involvement, finding the relationship and car joy one can only find in a Ferrari with three pedals and a stick. A gated 6-Speed manual transmission mated to a rev-happy, hand-built Ferrari V8 rank very near the top of things enthusiast dreams are made of.
The exterior of this F430 is finished in Nero Daytona (metallic black), with 20 Ball-Polished wheels with Black Centers. The brake calipers are appropriately finished in Rosso Corsa, and Scuderia Ferrari shields are mounted on the front fenders. The engine is proudly displayed through the rear glass hatch, underscoring the importance of Ferrari engines to the Ferrari mystique.
The interior of this F430 is finished in Nero Leather, and red stitching is found throughout the cabin. Prominently situated in the center of the cockpit. the Gated 6-Speed Manual Shift Lever is topped with a polished solid machined aluminum knob, providing the proper heft and feel to properly guide the shifter through the machined, brushed-aluminum gate. The Vents and Radio Surround are finished in Carbon Fiber. The steering wheel is fitted with Ferrari's first-ever Manettino, allowing the driver to select among five different driving modes of the electronics governing car suspension settings, traction control, and electronic differential. The Manettino has been fitted to every Ferrari since. The steering wheel frames a tachometer finished in red. This F430 is equipped with Ferrari's High Power audio system featuring a subwoofer between the seats and Apple CarPlay interface.
This F430 is offered with two keys, original books and [extensive] tool kit. It also includes the complete Classiche Certification, including the Red Book.
