    The truth about the F430...

    ...is that it looks fantastic! Today i saw two F430 at our local dealer. It was one in a dark blue metallic and a yellow one. The sound is incredible good. Well... let me say it with a british journalist: ferrari is sex on wheels!

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    I love that color. Is it blue tour de france?

    No it is a new color Blu Mirabu.It looks even better in the outside light. That is the color I am going with.

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Farina, which wheel looked better on the 430 in real life? did either of them have the ceramic brakes?

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Hi Farina,
    I think yellow looks drop-dead gorgeous at the F430. Which rims did you like better? Standard or BBS CH?

    BTW, do you think these cars have the same blue?

    Biege all leather interior with dark blue trim. Scuderia shields, yellow calipers and the Enzo wheels(Standard). Power Daytona seats with dark blue inserts. Not certain regarding the CC brakes(The car will not be tracked). The aluminum interior trim instead of the carbon fiber. Tire pressure monitor.CD changer.

    Pretty basic but certainly functional.

    Hi Nick,
    good choice overall . Make sure you have seen them in real, before ordering the Daytona seats. IMO they looked better in the 360 then they do in the 430. Absolutely right about the aluminium interior . CCM to be or not to be? Good question...

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Excellent choice Nick,
    Just my opinion, but I think that Dark blue and beige interior is more classy than sporty and hence suits better the 575 and 612 but it'll look good on the 430 for sure.
    Don't know why but I always thought you would go for a 575 Superamerica GTC, guess I was wrong.

    Nice choices, Nick. I would only make one change - I'd rather have Silver than Yellow calipers to go with the Blue exterior (and it will better match the aluminum interior)

    Fanch, excellent point regarding the color and sportiness. I felt this new color would be very much different than the typical Ferrari colors and should really look very good on this car.That is also why I did not want the Stradale wheels or sport seats. When I order my Spider I will go back to more of the traditional color scheme.

    Grant, you also make a good point especially if the caliper for the standard brakes appear small in relation to the size of the wheel. The yellow will tend to enhance the smallnesss of the caliper. I thought the yellow would match very nicely with the yellow wheel insert and the yellow scuderia shield.

    Rossi do you know if there is a difference between the Barchetta sport seats and the sport seats in the Stradale/360?

    Some sport seat look more comfortable almost in between Daytona's and the race sport seatts on the Stradale.

    Well... i like both rims. At the blue car the BBS wheels looked great although i prefer the classic wheels. It's a very hard decision!
    I can't say if these cars have the same blue... but the blue car had a colour i've never seen before. This might be the new ferrari blue.

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Hmm, thinking about:


    Exterior:
    Black metallic
    Yellow calipers
    Shields
    Carbon ceramic brakes
    Standard Enzo style wheels
    Pirelli tires (stickiest tires?)

    Interior:
    Leather headliner
    Leather rear shelf and door sill moldings
    Standard seats in leather w/black piping
    Leather & carpet color: dark tan
    Yellow tach
    Carbon interior trim inserts
    Top of dash black
    Battery charger
    Spare wheel

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Hmmmm... sounds good! I'm also a black-colour fan... in germany it's sometimes called "the colour of design")
    But the new blue is great too...

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    The blue car has the standard steel brake, right? Hmm, somehow I think that the Challenge wheels fit better to the (quite small) standard brake discs...

    I'm not sure. Always thought they are the same but they are available in different sizes. For the F430 you can order leather sport seats in M or L, S will only be offered on special request, but you surely did know that.

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Those Stradale wheels look hot! Maybe it's just me or the lighting in the room but that blue doesn't look too good.

    Have you seen the Stradale brochure? Ferrari chose two colors for the layout, Rosso Scuderia and Tour de France blue.

    Wow, looks very close to TdF blue to me, but there are several dark metallic blues at Ferrari that are very similar - Tour de France, LeMans, NART, and now Mirabu. And I thought the only new color for the 430 was to be Silverstone.

    Gary

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Yes I know, and it looks great in TDF Blue, it's just that I think it would look even better on a 575. Just personal opinions, but I agree with you, it looks great in any color anyway.

    Re: The truth about the F430...

    Take a look at the pics and tell me if it's the same color as the F430.

    Wow! That blue Ferrari looks amazing. What would be the closest color Porsche offers to that blue?

    The light is so different since it's outdoors instead of inside it's almost impossible to compare. Then you have the differences among digital cameras.

    It will be sooner. Early spring. Some US dealers are getting Jan/Feb production slots.

    Thanks for the pics, farina...
