Video Source: Google Videos

Top Gear's Clarkson test drives Ferrari's F430. This car has a 3.2 litre V8 engine, which punches out 490 hp to achieve a specific output of 114 hp/litre, also providing the F430 with a weight-to-power ratio of 2.8 kg/hp (dry weight); a braking system with carbon-ceramic discs for optimal efficiency under extreme use; a Formula 1-derived gearbox that cuts gear shifting times down to 150 milliseconds allowing the driver to make the very most of this truly high performance car (0-62 mph acceleration in 4 seconds flat, a top speed in excess of 196 mph) and an aerodynamic design that embodies the very latest competition technologies, specifically the flat underbody and large rear diffuser to increase downforce.
