Ferrari's awesome achievement.

Forget the sensationalist headlines about a few examples burning to the ground, Ferrari was really on fire when Evo tested the 458 Italia on its reference track and Maranello's latest managed a lap 1.5 seconds faster than the already fantastic 430 Scuderia.

What makes this incredible is that the 458 is not meant to be a track focused special, it's very much conceived, let's say, as a 911 Turbo rather than a GT3. The 458 weight in on the EVO scales at 3370lbs (1529kg) and is not running the Scuderia's Pirelli Corsa tires but rather a more everyday Michelin Pilot, albeit a special version developed specifically for the car.

A note of caution though, at the Nürburgring, a slightly heavier 458 was only one second faster than a Scuderia (7:38) as tested by Sport Auto. whatever the numbers, the potential of a 458 Scuderia (or CS) makes our mouth water!

"..But what I really want to do is direct"

It may not top his awesome performance as a satellite antenna installer nor can it hope to get close to his award winning portrayal of a cardboard cutout of himself but Herr Schumacher does achieve unequalled levels of brow furrowing in this new video from Ferrari's freshly redesigned web site.

On the new site you can ride along with the seven time Formula 1 champion on the complete range of offerings from Maranello. The site is huge improvement, with slick graphics and plenty of merchandize links. My favorite part? The car configurator where you can explore endless paint scheme variations for your dream F430 Scuderia.

Three Blondes and a Scud.

Nice work if you can get it.  Jason Plato cannot but be smug, wouldn't you be?

Best part is really the first half of the clip when Plato slides the Ferrari F430 Scuderia around a wet track.  Of course it's wet,  it's Great Britain, it's always wet.

Ferrari to jump shark?: F430 Scuderia Spyder

Does Ferrari feel compelled to compete in the Shark Jumping World Championship on the heels of the, admittedly unbeatable ,Bugatti Veyron Roadster?

Rumors are bubbling that in the fall we will see a convertible, "collector edition", F430 Scuderia drop top.

The current f430 convertible weighs some 150lbs more than the coupe and the question will be if the Scuderia Spyder will be more of a lightweight barchetta (like fellow S.J.W.C. competitor McLaren SLR Speedster) or more of a Veyron Convertible with its extra pounds and "umbrella soft top usable up to 80mph".

The Scuderia Spyder will be limited to 300 units making the operation a guaranteed commercial success . It is expected to be unveiled at Mugello for the Ferrari Challenge finals.

Tiff drives the 430 Scuderia

yum...



Another fantastic Ferrari. On the other hand, this car is so hot it roasted a journalist!...

GT2 a touch too practical for you? Try something with stripes.

The only problem with the Ferrari 430 Scuderia is that you cannot buy one unless you either have bought a whole bunch of Ferraris before or are one of those who could and would pay $100,000 over MSRP for it....
