What Car? says
For Logic-defying grip and amazing performance
Against Hard to come by, and incredibly pricey
Verdict
A bit of F1 experience brought to the road
Go for… F1 paddle shift
Avoid… None
- 1. The F430 will return an average fuel consumption of 15.4mpg - if you're gentle
- 2. The F1-inspired electronically controlled differential means the F430 has tremendous amounts of traction
- 3. The clutchless paddle-shift gearchange gives you more of that all-important Formula One feel - and better performance
- 4. Performance from the mid-mounted 483bhp 4.3-litre V8 is effortless
- 5. Stick to the maintenance schedule rigourously if you want the best shot at good reliability
