Description
Look, as a provider of exclusive cars, you are not too fond of admitting;’the first owner let his sons drive his car.’ However, there are exceptions, as is the case with this F430. The first owner of this perfectly configured F430 Spider is none other than Rolf Schumacher, father to Michael and Ralf.
This beautifully configured Ferrari F430 Spider was delivered new to the Schumacher family through Maranello Motors GmbH in Cologne. Delivered in 2005 in the most beloved color combination: red with Cuoio leather. With only 29, 301 kilometers of experience, we probably don’t need to explain the condition of the F430: practically new!
The F430 followed the 360 in 2004 and was in production for the next five years. This F430 is equipped with a 4. 3-liter V8, the F136 engine. With about 490 horsepower, it’s still an incredibly fast car. At the time, you could choose between a six-speed manual gearbox or a robotically operated manual gearbox. Which is exactly the version we are talking about here; shifting is done by operating the large ‘flippers’ behind the steering wheel. If you operate the gearbox optimally, it’s possible to sprint to 100 km/ h in 3. 6 seconds, and the top speed is 315 km/ h.
The red Spider is in perfect condition; that’s how succinctly we can describe the overall condition of this Italian beauty. The body is magnificent, with beautiful paintwork without damage, the correct wheels, clean lighting elements, and fresh details like rubbers and windows. The interior of the F430 is almost as perfect; only the driver’s seat shows that the car is not new but has been very carefully used.
The rest of the interior, such as the carpets, the door panels, and, of course, the dashboard, are in fantastic condition. On top of the air vent unit, you can find a plaque with the signature of Michael Schumacher. In the middle in front of you is a Ferrari-red tachometer, one of the optional features that could be chosen. The electrically operated convertible top of the F430 is, of course, in fantastic condition.
The Spider has recently had its 30, 000-service, so even mechanically speaking, the Ferrari is ready for new adventures. The red convertible comes with the original and stamped booklets in the original leather case. A unique opportunity to own a practically new Ferrari F430 Spider with a beautifully splendid provenance.
