A 6-speed manual comes standard, but the F1-derived paddle-shift automatic gearbox is also available. Those who prefer open-air motoring can select the F430 Spider, which features a folding soft-top and rollover protection system. All models include a steering wheel mounted manettino switch to adjust suspension settings, traction control, and the dynamics of the gearbox and electronic differential. For the ultimate track day weapon, Ferrari offers the F430 Scuderia which utilizes 20 additional hp, carbon-ceramic brakes, aerodynamic improvements and a 220 pound weight reduction to match the vaunted Ferrari Enzo around the Fiorano test track.

Original Warranty  Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
