  First Drive: 2005 Ferrari F430   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Ferrari's F1 tranny has yet to offer this level of refinement, a fact made all the more unacceptable ever since Audi and BMW began offering superior electrohydraulic transmissions (on vehicles costing about one-fourth the price of the 360).
Ferrari did, and in the process improved shift times by 20 percent under full throttle while further refining shifts under part-throttle conditions, as well as when the transmission is set to full Auto mode.
Ferrari claims that much of the styling changes were driven by wind tunnel testing, with a resulting 50-percent increase in downforce over the 360, or 616 pounds at 186 mph.

 Ferrari 575M Maranello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Updates from the 550 include a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements inside, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, a different weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid-dynamics and an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimize pitch throughout the 200-milliseconds shift time).
The Ferrari Superamerica is an innovative convertible Berlinetta version of the 575M Maranello.
Designed to recall the 250GTZ and commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 250 range, the GTZ was officially endorsed by Ferrari and includes Zagato's trademark double-bubble roofline and two-tone paint.

 Ferrari 400 Superamerica SWB Series 1
Ferrari's exquisite 400 Superamerica's were manufactured between 1959 and ’64, the entire production run totalling just 47 vehicles.
The most exotic high performance cars of their time, Enzo Ferrari referred to the Superamerica series in his 1963 memoirs as "the chinchilla amongst automobiles", also going on to say that buyers were "nearly always accompanied by breathtaking women".
A number of Series I 400 Superamerica's were fitted with bespoke coachwork and four such examples would debut before the first Coupe Aerodinamico, but these unique early machines are covered seperately in Part 2.

 Ferrari 250 LM - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
The first mid-engined Ferrari road car did not arrive until the 1967 Dino, and it was 1971 before a Ferrari V12 was placed behind a road-going driver in the 365 GT4 BB.
It also used a an P3 (Type 593) transmission that was prone to failure and was replaced by a ZF transmission when the P3 were converted to 412P's, another Ferrari first that would only last one season when the ZF's were replaced by 603R P4 transmissions in the 412P's.

 Ferrari 400 2+2
Most discussions regarding the 400 have always revolved around the fact that this particular model was the first Ferrari to be offered for sale to the public with the option of an automatic gearbox.
Causing a furore upon its launch, some considered it almost sacrilegious that any Ferrari should come with what they believed to be the antitheses of all things the Maranello manufacturer stood for.
The GT4's chassis was fundamentally unaltered in its transition to the 400, most changes being focused on the engine, now a dual overhead camshaft 60° V12 of 4.8-litres.

 Ferrari 400 SuperAmerica
Apparently the first in a new 400 Superamerica series, it bore a plain, boxy body with a wrapped windshield and an almost square grille flanked by quad headlamps almost a parody of contemporary American styling.
On 9.8:1 compression, horse power was an alleged 400 at 6750 rpm, which seems optimistic in view of the fact that the last 410 engine, almost a litre larger, had the same rating.
Like it's contemporary linemates, the 400 received a single dry-plate clutch (replacing the old multi-disc unit) and standard Laycock de Normanville electric overdrive (from Britain) behind a 4-speed all-synchromesh gearbox.

 Beyond.ca - Car Forums - Ferrari 400 Modena
Ferrari’s “entry-level” 360 Modena is about to undergo a technical redesign, which is previewed for the very first time in this set of spy pictures.
Although still selling well (months-long waiting lists are proof of this), Ferrari is taking the initiative and updating the 360 Modena in 2004, in order to fight off increasing competition, which could be imposed by the new Lamborghini Gallardo, or the McLaren-Mercedes SLR, or just obsolescence over the course of time.
The major changes take place under the skin: Dubbed the Ferrari 400 Modena, the facelifted 360 uses a heavily modified engine with increased bore and stroke — bringing total displacement from 3.6 to 4.0 liters — and power presumably up to 400 or 420 hp (thus, matching the acclaimed 360 Challenge Stradale).

Ferrari took some time to come into the four-seat market although Aston Marin, de Tomaso, Lamborghini and Maserati had established that there was a niche for such a car.
Note the way the Ferrari badge is placed on the car: it is discreet, but placed in such a way as to announce its presence to other road users.
However, a properly tuned 400 or 400i may be the perfect car for long distance cruising in style and comfort while not breaking your budget.

In 1955 Ferrari took over the 2.5 litre F-1 Lancias; from 1961 onwards, Ferrari competition cars have been rear-engined.

 ...a car would set you back $400,000 - National - www.theage.com.au
According to Ray Michelsons, the general manager of local Ferrari distributor Maranello Imports, the demand for the F430 is more than any other model.
With Ferrari building fewer than 5000 cars a year across just four model lines, Australia's share of F430s is expected to amount to just 100 a year, which means some owners won't take delivery until 2008.
Such is the demand for a new Ferrari that two-thirds of buyers have a rolling deposit, which secures their place in the queue for the next model.
