Second-Hand Ferrari F430
Used Ferrari F430
Owning a Ferrari is a dream for many and a used Ferrari F430 has everything you would want from a latter-day Ferrari. It has a big, powerful engine designed to give the Lamborghini Gallardo a run for its money. There is also plenty of high-end racing tech built into the car to give it the edge on the track. With more bhp per tonne and that ineffable quality that comes with all cars from this manufacturer, it has been able to reassert dominance over the supercar market.
What You Get
Ferrari worked hard to make this car as light and nimble as possible. As such, you get plenty of aluminium used across the chassis and the body, while carbon ceramic brakes were a popular option for those looking for performance and durability. While this car is designed with racing prestige in mind, it does not suffer from a spartan interior like some of the cars in its class. Instead, you get a feature-crammed cabin that screams of its luxury heritage and also benefits from a few F1 inspired touches, such as the steering wheel mounted controls for the various driving modes on offer. Under the bonnet is a 4308cc engine which develops 483bhp at 8500rpm. In terms of exterior styling, the F430 showcases its Ferrari DNA in spades but manages to make older design cues seem contemporary.
How it Drives
While the range of used Ferrari F430s for sale at RAC Cars are going up against four-wheel-drive rivals, this is a resolutely rear wheel drive car that does benefit from many technical advancements in order to make sure that this is not a disadvantage. Traction control is handled admirably, and power will go to whichever wheel needs it most at a given time. You’ll hit 60mph in well under four seconds and go on to a 196mph top speed, so while there are more powerful cars out there, few can do as much as the F430.
