It is a story that the marketers have hardly taken advantage of. Everyone knows about Ayrton Senna’s influences on the Honda NSX, but few people know that F1 legend Michael Schumacher was more than happy to help develop the Ferrari 430 Scuderia – the hardcore version of the Ferrari F430. At Fiorano (Ferrari’s own test track at the Maranello factory), the Ferrari 430 Scuderia is just as fast as the Enzo. And exactly that car is for sale with the Dutch government.
“Michael has spent a lot of time on this car,” Michele Giaramita, the technical director of the Scuderia project, told TopGear nearly 15 years ago. “Obviously he had plenty of time after he retired from Formula 1. He enjoyed helping us, perhaps more fun than going to F1 races as an advisor.” Nowhere do you see Schumacher badges, in contrast to the bland Fiat Stilo Schumacher Edition, just to name a few. The ‘F1 World Champion’ badge in the 430 Scuderia even features Kimi Räikkönen.
The specifications
With a weight of 1,350 kilos, the Ferrari 430 Scuderia is 100 kilos lighter than the F430. It has hollow torsion bars front and rear and titanium springs and lug nuts. The shock absorbers, steering rack, front and rear bumpers, underbody and diffuser have all been made lighter. The windows are made of Lexan and inside there is almost no luxury – but a lot of carbon fiber. The 4.3-litre V8 without turbos delivers 510 hp – good for a 0-100 time of 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 317 km/h.
The story behind this Ferrari 430 Scuderia is a mystery
As is often the case, it is not known how this Ferrari 430 Scuderia ended up at Domeinen Roerende Zaken. It does not have a Dutch registration, so it must not have been seized on the public road during a wild chase, but rather was taken during a raid. The odometer reading is 11,077 kilometers and the prices on the second-hand websites are north of 300,000 euros. You look at him on Domains Movable Property† Prefer something less rare? Then a white Ferrari 458 from a previous auction is again in the offer.
