  Ferrari F430 - RSportsCars.com
The F430 features a new cast-aluminium transmission casing that houses the gearbox in unit with the electronic differential and bevel type final drive, as well as the engine oil tank.
The F430 is available with either the classic Ferrari open-gate manual gearbox or with the F1 paddle shift that Ferrari has continuously developed and refined over recent years for its road-going berlinettas.
Thanks to that ongoing development, Ferrari’s F1 gearbox for the F430 is state of the art, introducing a number of important modifications: thanks to inputs from the engineers on the Gestione Sportiva racing side, the F1 gearbox management incorporates a new control strategy which further perfects gearchange speed and smoothness under hard use.

The average Formula 1 gear change time is between 60 and 80 milliseconds, but the F430 has the same gearshift time as the Enzo and the 360 Challenge Stradale, both of which are street-legal race cars.
The F430 also features a world-class suspension, whose dampers are continually adjusted to suit the road, and world-class steering, which is well hefted, smooth and precise.

 2006 Ferrari F430 Review | AutoSite Car Previews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Ferrari says the new F430 is 70-percent new, and aside from the general profile and proportions of its two-seat, mid-engined configuration, it’s hard to detect the portion of the 360 Modena that remains.
The wheelbase is identical to the 360 and the F430 is a smidge longer, but width and height have been reduced to keep Ferrari’s entry-level model from growing larger than it is today.
To keep the Ferrari F430 under control while powering out of turns, a new E-Diff electronic rear differential, originally developed for Ferrari’s F1 racing program, regulates the distribution of engine torque to the wheels to increase traction and limit oversteer.

The Ferrari F430 has shaded the biggest selling point of the Lamborghini Gallardo - its four-wheel drive - by offering the steering feel and innate balance of a rear-driver and yet with the feeling of the grip of four, without the degradation of steering feel and general heaviness that you get from the Bull.

 2005 Ferrari F430 Review - ForbesAutos.com
The current Ferrari F430 coupe and its soon-to-be-released convertible version, the Spider, are thoroughly modern and well-built sports cars that dispense with such "charms," despite still being largely assembled by humans and not robots.
Peer into the similarly configured engine compartment of a Porsche Carrera GT, which like the F430 has a mid-engine motor just ahead of the rear axle, and you'll find nothing but the most precise crafting and advanced materials.
The F430 coupe and Spider are more nimble with the best power-to-weight and horsepower-per-liter ratios of the bunch.

 Ferrari Previews F430
As predicted by AutoReport in April, the new successor to the 360 Modena will be simply the Ferrari F430, in reference to the new 4.3 L V8 engine, not the 400 or Maserati-engined 420 bravely predicted by others.
A major revision rather than an all-new car most key dimensions remain unchanged, but Ferrari has managed to reduce vehicle weight by roughly 20 kg despite a slight increase in length with the new body.
Two of these innovations are world firsts for production cars: the electronic differential (E-Diff) and the steering wheel-mounted dial (better known to Scuderia Ferrari's Formula 1 drivers as "manettino"), which manages the integrated vehicle dynamics systems.

The F430 is powered by a new V8 that does not share any components with the 360 Modena's engine.
A rotating drum, actuated pneumatically by the engine control unit, compensates for variations in the effective volume inside the two plenums to optimise the intake resonance characteristics and maximise the torque throughout the rev range.
The F430 also introduces new-generation adaptive suspension for the first time on a V8-engined Ferrari to provide a balance between handling and comfort.

 ROADandTRACK.com -- Road Tests - Ferrari F430 (1/2005)
So the F430, whose first-year worldwide production of 2000 cars is already spoken for, has some big Italian loafers to fill.
Indeed, the F430 is based on the 360, yet 70 percent of its parts are new.
That's obvious from the outside, where the profile is familiar but nearly everything else is different, the result of a collaboration between Pininfarina and Ferrari's Head of Design, Frank Stephenson.
