It measures 4512 mm long and 1923 wide and 1214 high, is somewhat longer, and almost equal to the width and height 360. The battle (2,600 mm) and tracks (1669 and 1616 mm) coincided almost exactly with those of 360.

As the 360 (and 355, which preceded both) has a flat bottom, is distinguished by the two rear diffuser apparatus (image). This element, which also had the 360 but smaller, serves to accelerate the passage of air under the car when moving at high speed.

The compression ratio of this new engine is even higher than the previous (11.3 to 1 instead of 11, 0). In part because it reaches a maximum torque of 465 Nm, which is an extremely high figure for a naturally aspirated engine of cubic capacity (108 Nm / l, before 104). Gives the maximum torque at 5250 rpm.

It also increases the specific power in relation to the 360 engine: 114 hp / l to 112. The regime of maximum power is 8,500 rpm, the same as before, and the red of cuentavueltas starts right in that regime.

The Ferrari 430 is therefore slightly faster top speed and acceleration than a Lamborghini Gallardo (309 km / h 4.2 s 0 to 100 km / h).

Like the 430, the Gallardo is made of aluminum, but has a ten-cylinder engine instead of eight, and instead of total traction rear a Gallardo weighs 1605 kg in conditions of approval.

. The gearbox of the 430 six-speed automatic (F1), and can be operated manually with controls on the steering wheel. It has a rear differential with an electronically controlled locking system (called "E DIFF).

Since the wheel can change the response of various elements of the car to suit various driving situations (manettino).
