Ferrari F430 vs 430 Scuderia - Here's ALL The Changes Ferrari Made (Including Some I Never Knew)

In today's video I am back at Dick Lovett Ferrari, Swindon. I am looking at my very recently acquired 430 Scuderia and comparing it with the garden variety F430, as well as a 360 Challenge Stradale. How do they compare, and what did Ferrari do to create the lighter, faster Scuderia?

Thanks Ian - I am the same, didn't realise how much went into it until I started doing research on it

[@ruk2023--]

Before considering an in-built stereo, I would be looking at a bluetooth speaker. With no sound deadening you're going to spend a fortune getting anything built in to sound passable.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Exactly... and why the car currently has a Bluetooth speaker in the door!

[@tobiasstaermose]

@@JayEmmOnCars you could get at set of bt speakers that can pair up to give you stereo. And you can still remove them if you want to play racing driver :)

Who needs music anyway when you have that engine in the back?

[@davidofford7002]

Well, Jay, I am intrigued. And very happy for you. The colour, the stance, the whole look of the car is absolutely perfect. It calls to be driven, in every way, as - I hope - a beloved workhorse.

Massive congrats Jay. Truly a once in a lifetime achievement. Colour combo with the wheels works really well. Thanks for this video, a lot of details I didn't know. Enjoy the new motor, look forward to the driving video 🙌🏻

[@NubletPie278]

That clip at the end, its a proper motorsport sound! Sounds exactly how I remember the GT2s. I think the really fast SCTs sound way cooler than DCTs.

Wow Jay! What a wonderful Ferrari you purchased. It's great to see what hard work can produce. Enjoy your new car.

Funny the 430 Scud was one of my absolute favorite cars mostly because of the racey interior, exhaust note, and weight savings, but now it's totally overshadowed by the F430 in manual.

[@DoWorkExotics]

F430 is such a good bargain. I love the body lines, just timeless.

[@christopherjones3614]

Congratulations Jay: Truly a beautiful choice and definitely mine as well. Love the mid engine view with all that lovely carbon fibre as well as the lower, aggressive stance to point out just a couple of features I love. The colour is gorgeous and it’s music to my ears knowing you’ll be using this car to its fullest and that she’s not just going to be sitting in a collection somewhere. These cars are very special and should be driven as I know we are in full agreement with this point… and on that note my friend… Stay safe, enjoy the view from behind the wheel, and I can’t wait to see you both out in the wild in your upcoming video. Thanks for the excellent content. Cheers from 🇨🇦😎

Jay, I went from 550 to F430. Curious to hear your long term review. Totally different cars but both brilliant! Enjoy

Congratulations Jay! What a beauty! Would’ve had the wheels in anthracite myself, but I wouldn’t pass up on the car for the gold!

[@neilgaydon5430]

You snagged a beauty…great colour and what you’ve done with the wheels is great. I just bought a manual silver F430 coupe with carbon buckets and love it and it’s so immersive without auto/paddles. Having been a Porsche man for 20+ years, including 993’s, 997’s, Turbo S etc I’m loving the whole Ferrari experience, it’s addictive. No wonder you bought two!

Thanks a lot for the video! Would it be possible to make a video on the exact difference between CT OFF and CST OFF on the Scud? Great purchase have fun!!

[@jameslloydcole8783]

One of my fav Ferrari’s! Not in grey, but personal preference. The 360 front ends looks so dopey next to it.

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Grey would not be my preference either, but I may have been waiting a long time for my ideal Scud!

[@Cillaron]

The detail explanation was enlightening, please continue this on other models… keep up the great videos….

[@scuddryvr8784]

From a fellow owner, congrats. The reasons you cited are exactly why I own a Scud. More raw and rare than a Speciale and faster and better looking than a CS. The Goldilocks special variant.

I drove the first customer sold 360 in the UK and couldn't fit 2 size 91/2 Timberland boots in the footwell! I wasn't keen on the F430 when it first came out as it looked a bit like a lazy update of the 360 but in grey and with the subtle changes yours has definitely has over timed morphed into a thing of beauty. 👍

[@iantownsend500]

I fell in love with Avio blue Scud that was in Topgear magazine. I also loved the review that Harry’s Garage did on the manual swapped F430

Thanks for sharing Jay, and let me wish you many many happy fun-filled miles of driving in your stunningly beautiful new toy. Everything about it, the colour, the car's stance, it's wheels,the sumptuous...if a little sparse...interior, and that rear end too, are simply gorgeous.

Congratulations. The scud is my halo car. I got a passenger ride in one years ago in my early teen round a circuit in France. Was a silver Rhd with strips Never been in anything close to that cornering speeds since. It blasted pass everything on the circuit f40s enzos the lot. It danced. Best of luck in your ownership.

Personally I wouldn’t fit a stereo I’d be perfectly happy with the engines soundtrack in a car like this

[@francisgaliegue6645]

5:02 (nerdy) Fluid dynamics. Oil is no featherweight and if you can minimize the resistance to the flow that is encountered by the oil, it will flow with less effort. That is all the less work for the pumps to do, hence they can vampire less energy out of the engine, plus it flows faster, allowing for faster engine rotation speed (revs).

[@Chewman30]

I love the car, colour and spec, nice choice!

[@SharpblueCreative]

Personally I think the Scud looks a darn sight better than the regular F430 and Challenge. The only Ferrari item I own actually is a pair of Ferrari Scuderia headphones 🎧 and they’re great.

[@gwyndavis8171]

When’s the first drive! That’s what we’re all waiting for ☺️

[@DMR777-p5o]

Excellent informative video thks, speaking as someone who has owned all 3 cars for many years, the only one I have left is the F430 Spider, with carbon brakes and carbon seats. You will unfortunately never make a SCUD sound great due to the shorter exhaust system and the CS whilst the best looking is definitely is in need of bigger capacity engine with some torque

[@honguenloh4612]

Thank you for wearing something that matches your rims…at least now i wont get distracted by your shirt and can focus on your video…unfortunately over here the scuderia cost 3 times more than a normal 430…hence i will only dream of getting the normal version….nonetheless very informative content…:)

[@Gibbo205]

430 was always my dream Ferrari, I came from the F-Type SVR but unfortunately for me the 430 was a sidestep, to be honest I wished I had looked at Scuderia as when I got my 458 they were around 130k, but saying that I have no regrets because the 458 is the best of both worlds for me, it is easy to daily should one wish, but incredible hardcore and focused when one wishes, for me 430 Scud, 458 Italia, 458 Speciale and 812 are the best modern Ferrari's by miles, I know 488/F8 are miles superior but I found them boring to drive on the road at legal speeds. Very good decision! If I ever change my 458 Italia it will either be for a Speciale or an 812.

[@julianadams2206]

Interesting and very informative especially on the technical stuff.

How does shortening gear ratios 3 to 6 reduce the 0-60 time vs the f430? I would have assumed 0-60 is just gears 1 and 2 only which have the same ratios. Am I missing something?

Just like all of their ‘lightweight’ specials the number one thing they do is pressure their suppliers to lose weight for their components. You can / could easily get to scud weight and below just by specifying most of the lightweight options for the standard car.

[@russellsmith5278]

At least in the US, the carbon in the engine bay was only standard on the 2009 versions - earlier cars much of it was optional.
