is this 490 hp confirmed?



Assuming that the answer is yes, I took the figures disclosed today (495HP, 340ft/lbs torque, 3,200lbs wet, 4.2L V8, .32 Cd, 19-inch tires) and did some software simulation modeling.

The results for the 430 were as follows:

3.95 : 0-60MPH
9.20 : 0-100MPH
21.4 : 0-150MPH
12.18 @ 118MPH 1/4 Mile

These figures match almost to the 10th of a second in some cases, those of real world Gallardos (identical 0-150MPH times in fact) that have been tested with optical gear, and of course both sets of numbers are dramatically faster compared to a base 360.

Looks like Ferrari has just barely achieved their performance goal for the 430, to at least equal the Gallardo's level of performance without infringing on the performance of models higher up the food chain (575M, 612, 600 Imola, etc).

And if the software figures above pan out, along with some help from the exotic diff in the car that we don't know much about yet, the 430 should also be dramatically faster than the 360CS on the track.



It's a 4.3 liter V8. And Ferrari is saying 0-62 in 4.0 sec, so 0-60 should be 3.8/9 sec according to Ferrari who are always conserative, I'm thinking 3.7 sec or so easy....the CS does it in 4.2 sec as it is.

And I have never seen a Gallardo test better then 4.1/and mid 12's.......so the F430 will easily beat it....
Not to mention it has RWD, not that damed AWD.... :-)
