No brand brings you closer to F1, than Ferrari
We have never driven a real Ferrari before It is our turn today with the F430 Spider!
F1 shifting paddles, there we go!
It is wet and slippery today. we must be careful!
490HP on the rear wheels, ejoy!
The history of the F430 starts in 2005
It was the first Ferrari with real F1 techniques
The F430 has an E-Diff, a computer-controlled limited slip active differential.
Which can be set with the manettino button on the steering wheel
With this button you can get the car in ''baby-mode'', but you can also turn off all helping systems
We keep it in the sport-mode today; strongly on the throttle, fast gear changes but still the ESP on
Above 4000rpm the car wants to go sideways. You are supposed to drive this car with good weather
The expectations of ''Ferrari'' are very high, at everyone
You see and hear them driving, they are an icon, it is the top of the supercar brands
But then I drive this car, and it's really not a lot of car
I have a steering wheel, I have a great V8 engine...
But don't expect too much of the interiour; it looks good but isn't very functional
The radio.. It comes from 2000 or 2001 but I am not complaining about that
Because I don't need a radio in this car
I have a great sound box behind me, which I can controll with my right foot
Nowadays there is the 458 with the great gearbox and the lovely sound
But that's not just as pure as this F430. The F430 is been produced till 2009.
But I think it is the last pure Ferrari, with that clear V8 sound
Gearchanges with a kick in your back
This is a car that I would highlight and show to you
It is a pity it is raining today, you notice it when going through corners
With this weather it doesn't give you much trust but we will enjoy the V8 roar!
His opponents; the 911 Turbo, Lamborghini Gallardo. I have them both already driven
And today the F430. The question is, which one is the best?
The F430 steers great, you do really noticed that it is pretty light on the front end
The nose comes up when giving a lot of throttle. But a 911 is much better for daily use
This is a real exotic car, which I more should compare with the Gallardo
I was expecting a lot of the Gallardo but was very disappointing
Today the F430, it feels good and I don't know why, maybe because my excitement
But I think you know why...
He is pretty dangerous today but also very fun to drive!
I am driving something that can be driven like a maniac today
We have also brought an Aston Martin DB9 today
Qua speed they are close togehter but they are both totally different cars. You take the F430 for a fun drive in the weekends
The sequentially gearbox, which I am not a fan of, does a pretty good job
In the Ferrari it is great, the Italians know what they are doing!
