The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is the successor to the mighty Challenge Stradale and is therefore a fire-breathing V8-engined naturally-aspirated special edition that has been lightened, tuned, and track-prepared.
And thanks to fellow KZbinr, @JayEmm on Cars, TheCarGuys has one - for a month!
Which means you get a detailed episode of #DriveEveryFerrari on one of the most highly-regarded race cars for the road ever to come out of Maranello, including a full explanation of all the Scud’s special features, its history, the exterior, the interior, all the technology, a full driving road test and some magnificent straight-piped Beans!
Your spine will tingle as the revs rise to the redline, and together we will discover what makes the 430 Scuderia so special and so undervalued, because yes folks, this is a performance bargain the like of which we may never see again.
So welcome to #DriveEveryFerrari, and the screaming V8 insanity of the 430 Scud…

Magnificent episode. A veteran Ferrari technician once told me the Scuderia was in his opinion, the greatest Ferrari ever made. This is even against all the exceptional stuff coming out of Maranello today. Of which, he had worked on most personally. That really struck me.

[@iskillio]

Cool fake story bro.

[@johnforeman634]

I’ve heard many people say that. I’ve never driven one but I’ve got an 08 Spider which will have to be good enough for me. My dream would be a 16M.

[@beansnwheels]

Hi Damian, I really like your new more comprehensive style. Can’t get enough of all the visual (and intake noise) comparisons. It’s really nice to learn in great detail and emotionally where these cars slot in between their sisters. Your extensive experience between these cars is really showing. Cheers and thanks for sharing all this with us!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thank you very much

[@360trev]

I've re-calibrated a few Scuderia's now, the factory did some very good detailed work on that software, quite a bit different than the 430 including entirely new ABS software and Eldor Ion Sensing module as carried over into the 458. There are big improvements that can be made to drivability and torque too which make the car even more extraordinary to drive without compromising reliability. Great engine!

[@michaelblurry6559]

You do a lot of goof stuff mate, but never respond to any DMS sent your way.

Superb video as ever. The 430 Scuderia is right at the pointy end of my list for greatest cars. You did it justice so thank you!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Much appreciated

[@Ratarossa]

Superb review !! James has a very high spec Scud there. Very interesting to see how Ferrari changed the engine strut on the carbon upgrade lid to a simple lightweight stick and ditched the hydraulic rams on the standard option lid .... learnt something new with that one.

[@chriscooper3384]

It’s not even the lightweight full carbon option that was offered in period for the regular F430. The scud version is an aluminium/ carbon hybrid down graded to save costs.

[@timmietz]

Of my 3 Ferraris, this is my favorite one. So much character! I am extremely lucky to own one!!!

[@scuddryvr8784]

Scud owners group

[@JayEmmOnCars]

@7:45 the issue is with the carbon headlights, they give off some kind of gas or something and it is what clouds the headlight inners. To fix them you have to split the headlight in half, and at seven grand a pair not many people are willing to take it on! 9:10 if you have the non carbon engine cover it has gas struts 16:45 beep on key removal is because it wants to be left in gear (it has no "park" setting)

[@amarjit_singh_]

That F1 single clutch automated gearbox in the 430 Scuderia is arguably the best iteration of that gearbox. The driving experience is more raw than the 458 Speciale and much more improved than the 360 Challenge Stradale.

[@aaronburberry4656]

The 458 didn’t use the F1 transmission it used a duel clutch system

[@Macki1287]

@@aaronburberry4656 He never said it did! Still the Scuderia F1 box is more raw, as he said, and enjoyable as the DCT of the 458 (i have only driven the Speciale). Not sure why, but the DCT of the Speciale tries to be a more raw version of the F1 Gearbox of the Scuderia, by beeing more harsh on the upshifts, and not properly applying throttleblips while downshifting, resulting in almost locking up the rear tires while shifting down. in normale driving however, the DCT is way better and smoother. The Scuderia F1 Box on the fast shift mode is just perfect, right amount of rough and harsh upshifting, while perfectly timed blips on the downshifts just sound and feel amazing. driving slow result in headnodding of the driver and passenger

[@user-sk2pq2uq7t]

A guy who owned a Ferrari specialist garage once told me the Scuderia 16m was in his top three Ferraris ever, and he had seen them all. With that in mind, I manage to find one and would never get rid of it now …. It’s the best car I have ever driven. It is the perfect combination of raw and analogue (analogue dials, a handbrake) but modern enough tech, and with a brilliant n/a engine which sounds better than anything else I have heard, this car has the whole package. Add pinpoint handling, and superb steering and this I just about the most fun you can have with your pants on …. Or maybe even just the most fun regardless 😂….finally …. That F1 single clutch box …. It is brilliant …. It feels as quick as a 458 dual clutch, and gives you a feel like a manual, with that little ‘breather’ between changes …… to me the Scud is one of the finest modern day Ferrari driving cars …. If you ever get the chance … drive one or own one ….

[@scuddryvr8784]

Call me crazy. I tracked my Scud. Chris Harris agrees that it’s the best of both worlds, still raw but properly quick, and the one he would chose. It will not remain in the reasonably priced column forever.

[@MR_BJH]

Finally, hopefully this will be worth the few hour wait!!! One of the best sounding Ferraris of all time in my opinion

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lukec4ge]

The sound comparison was brilliant. Challenge Stradale > Scuderia imo. Just…

[@simonwyss7084]

superb review! As a proud owner of the magnificent 430 Scuderia I can only share your driving experience and your appreciation for this car! Each time it gives me goosebumps! Compared to the 458 Spider (my first Ferrari) the 430 Scuderia is raw, noisy, brutal. It's another dimension: the 430 Scuderia is like a F1 track car, you can feel Michael Schumacher's legacy. In comparison the 458 Spider is more every day use, sleek, although also a superb driving experience. I love both cars. But if I had to choose one, it would be the Scuderia. Not least in honour of Michael Schumacher. Keep on fighting Michael!

[@joaolameiras6170]

The scuderia and 997 gt3rs are the best cars made hal time.. sensation of drive, and sound. The brutal change gear, single clucht is top raw experiencie

[@CharlieBeveridge]

Great video. Special Schumi era Ferrari's will only go up hugely in value.. Cars like these give an experience that no other cars deliver.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Agreed

[@neilgaydon5430]

Brilliant. Your Ferrari series is going to be reference for anyone wanting to learn about the cars and brand for years to come. I love the old school meets modern f430, preferring it to the brilliant 458, contentious I know, in looks, sound, feel and drive. Mechanics at my Ferrari dealer (one of which just won Ferrari mechanic of the year) believe the f430 to be the best Ferrari. I have a manual coupe with carbon buckets, like a Scud, where you “wear the car”, and near perfect for UK roads. No doubt the Scud is the peak 430 but I love a manual, shame they never did one.

[@MrGB1999]

The 430 is extremely pretty in the flesh and is a wonderful bridge between the graceful models before it and the more angular, "modern" (ie date very quickly) models from 458 onwards. I love the Scud too, but the standard 430 with darker wheels, and in darker colours preferably, is another Ferrari car styling masterclass. Wide looking (and actually wide), elegant, subtly aggressive, timeless. PS black cars in midday sunlight never look great. Try dusk lighting for darker cars = 😍 (PPS leave the car in 1st and it will beep no longer)

I think in terms of "bang for your buck" the Scuderia has to be up there when talking about the greatest Ferrari's !!!

[@FerrariCollector87]

Simply perfect spec, Avio Mettalic with yellow calipers is the only spec that looks better. The valvles opening sounds great. i still prefer the exhaust pops on 458. one thing i didn´t know about the pop sounds on 458 is that they only came on 2011+ models, the 2009 and 2010 ones dont have it, some owners updated their ECU SW versions on 2009 and 2010 models to start poping.

Great video, thanks for chugging on with your mission of driving every Ferrari. A masterful car but I think this was the very start of the era where cars were designed to be all things to all people. Gradually they have progressed to today where they are amazing & perfect but very dull and soul-less. Now we have screaming track car that is also a shopping car, has artificial noise, is more comfortable and far from beautiful. In my opinion, less connected and missing the point. I would rather have an off the shelf raw F40, F50, or 360CS to name a few- designed soley for one purpose.

Really enjoyed this episode, very well put together with thought and the presentation style treads a great line between spod and joker. You should be on the Beeb. Have to say I prefer the 430 looks over the 360. The headlights on those are so kit car. This car does demonstrate how Ferrari honed their NA V8s up to the pinnacle or the 458. Speciale In a parallel universe Ferrari did a 4.8 V10 engine that rev'd to 10 000 of course . Imagine a road going Ferrari V10 ... weeps silently. They were obsessed with V12 though, kept using them in F1 even when others went to V10. Then Lambo did one and so Ferrari could not see to be following them.
