Ferrari F430 F1 Coupe road test
Despite the recent introduction of the California convertible, the mid-engined F430 coupe remains Ferrari’s entry-level model. While the new California is aimed at less committed enthusiasts, the lean, mean and raunchy 430 is for hard core petrolheads who crave noise, speed and visceral thrills by the lorry-load.

The 430’s current basic list price is £135,685 otr, although it wouldn’t be hard to find a previously cherished, low mileage example for substantially less. The combined mpg figure is 18.6 (manual or F1) with CO2 emissions at a lofty 345g/km (manual or F1). Unsurprisingly, insurance is group 20, but on the likely assumption that 430 owners can afford such things then such trivial expenditure shouldn’t affect an otherwise sublime ownership experience. The 430 is not exactly relaxing on a long distance trip, but for a high-speed blast it’s unbeatable.
