The Ferrari F430 Scuderia is one car most people would have no problem in adding to my fantasy garage, the 510 horsepower supercar capable of doing 320km/h is more than sufficient to to satisfy most of our lusts. But should you wish for something a little extra why not enlist the help of specialist Ferrrari tuner Novitec Rosso who have just released their own tuning package boosting the engine up to a monstrous 717 horsepower bringing the top speed up to 348km/h and the 0-62mph time down to just 3.5 seconds.

The engine gets new belt driven twin-superchargers with a limited boost pressure of 0.48 bar, the heat insulated intake manifold have been redesigned to provide the engine with pre-compressed air and the it also gets two high performance air filters and eight larger injectors. The extra heat generated from the additional power is cooled with a higher capacity coolant system.

The subtle interior modifications include a new flat bottomed sports steering wheel featuring leather and carbon fibre materials as well as carbon-fibre shift paddles.

mmmm perhaps too much money for this "upgrade" of a really fabulous car, that will get you horrendous taillights and loose the flashing LED's in the steering wheel if you notice closely... that little "extra performance" is something that would be barely usable... and it would seem almost as a sin to touch that great V8 and add weight in the form of superchargers when the Scuderia is about loosing weight.

i think i m going to have to agree with dave especially because all the performance reviews I've seen are rating the Scuderia at 3.1 -3.2 0-60mph

So much horse power for little performance improvement? Nice but not worth it

You can't look at it from a 0-60 view point. I'm sure the 1/4 mile times and overall performance figures are much improved. This is definitely on my list of dream cars.

It's very hard to improve the 0-60 time for cars with street legal tires because they can only take so much power. As RobERob pointed out, the 200hp boost in power should improve the car's overall performance quite a bit!

I'm with bernardo on this one: no way. the F430 family are currently the sportiest "series" (if you can call it that) cars made by Ferrari. and since, in many aspects, they are the reference.. so, except the Enzo/FXX this is surely the Ferrari you have to want.
