Ferrari F430
The F430 features a new cast-aluminum 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 6-speed gearbox incorporates multicone synchronizers, while both the 6th gear and the final drive have been lengthened to make the most of the greater power and torque of the new engine.
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. Changing gear takes just 150 milliseconds, as measured by the ‘hole’ in acceleration during the change (intended as the overall time from declutching, changing gear to releasing the clutch).

Ferrari Novitec F430
Don’t read this right away. Stare at the photos for a while first, and absorb the beauty. Whatever I write cannot possibly stack up to such pure visual lust anyway, so hold off reading my drivel.
Novitec Rosso of Stetten in Bavaria, Germany, jumps to a rarefied tune these days. It entered the tender trap of Ferrari upgrades, when the company started discussing the possibilities back in 2000. Then, Novitec went for it and bought outright three 360 Modenas in 2001. The company’s supercharged 360 launched at the 2003 Frankfurt Auto Show, and things just took off from there.
