Yellow Ferrari 430 Scuderia (w/ startups)

A yellow 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia arriving at and leaving Kobeissi Properties' Cars & Coffee.

Whichever executives are in charge of naming Ferrari models really need to make up their "F"-ing minds. Back in the '90s, the 348 was replaced by the F355 (with the "F" being a nod to Ferrari's Formula race cars.) The "F" was dropped for the 360 then added again for the F430. And when it came time to introduce the more hardcore, track-oriented variant of the F430, apparently Ferrari thought was time to give up the "F" once again...

Naming confusion aside, the F... I mean, 430 Scuderia was certainly an incredible car - a worthy successor to the successful 360 Challenge Stradale. On the outside, I think the front bumper is a big improvement over the regular F430's, though I prefer the base car's rear design. Still, there's no doubt from behind that this car is all about business with giant diffuser, huge exhaust exits, and of course, that mighty V8 engine displayed under a clear cover like a fine work of art. And just listen to that sound! Even at legal speeds, it sounds like a mighty beast eager to flex its full strength. Sure, it may not be quiet enough to keep neighbors happy or comfortable enough for long rides. But that's not the point of a Ferrari anyway...
