One of the problems with writing about cars is that words soon become degraded because they're often applied to cars that don't quite come up to scratch and customers ultimately want value for money.
Well, look no further: Our Ferrari F430 Spider is an unequivocal super car priced at a £79,995.
Value for money? Leonard Fraser-Scott finds out.
The F430 Spider is a really serious sports car and not just the poseur’s version of the Coupé.
The car bounds from corner to corner like a starved cheetah on the chase, giving you plenty to think about in the braking and steering departments.
The view other motorists are most likely to see — two aspects stand out immediately. First those round rear lights. With a laid-back nod to the Enzo, they break out of the tail's upper deck like four glowing red rocks pushed up by a sea of molten lava. Continuing the theme of a bubbling volcano is the evocative red crackle finish to the twin cam covers capping the V8 — displayed under a clear glass engine cover incorporated into the rear deck.
This Ferrari is a surprisingly effective motorway car, and not simply because it can bolt from one traffic cluster to the next in a nanosecond. It has terrific directional stability – so you aren’t endlessly steering it – impressively pliant suspension and a comfortable seat make it a smooth ride.
There are plenty of executive cars that would be more troubled smoothing away, but this supercar has no trouble at all. And it’s this rounded ability that marks the F430 out as such a complete car, a car capable not just on the streaking, sinuous roads that it was made for, but in the real world, too. That is some achievement – and this is some car.
The Ferrari F430 Spider is one very addictive piece of machinery. For such a finely-honed, performance-oriented driver's tool it manages to appeal on two fronts: firstly, it satisfies those who want to drive faster than everyone else; secondly, it flatters those who just want to be noticed by everyone else. Spending five days driving the Spider was a delightful eye-opener. A supercar it may be, but one that's utterly engaging and, even more significantly, one truly capable of living in the real world. Throw in that magnificent V8 backing-track and Ferrari's magnifico F430 Spider F1 fulfils every red-blooded driver's dream. — Leonard Fraser-Scott. Value for money? Certainly!
