FERRARI 430 SCUDERIA - Better Than a Stradale or a Speciale? #DriveEveryFerrari | TheCarGuys.tv

#ferrari #430scuderia #driveeveryferrari

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 YouTuber, @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…

Thank you for watching

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.

I have never driven one of these... but i have seen and heard them in person, both challenge stradale and the Scuderia.. I could here the Scuderia from distance upshifting and then passes by with anormous speed and littary the ground was shaking from the noise... i said to my self... ou my God Ferrari is no joke....! Great video!

[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!

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 ….

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!

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!

[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)

[marklewis]

Better than Speciale? No. More fun and exciting to drive? Yes. Last of the analog, old school Ferrari’s. This car represents the “pure” Ferrari experience.

[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.

[itsjoel]

Such a well produced episode! Have always loved the Scud...

[Fzr]

Love the back to back sound comparisons Damian. Please do more direct comparisons!

[timmietz]

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

[MR_BJH]

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

[Antonis]

What a presentation this has been!! Marvelous!

[simonwyss]

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!

Epic car, great video. Particularly enjoyed the addition of the POV camera behind your shoulder pointing forwards, that was cool!

[Richspjones]

Awesome video; you can't beat The Beans!

[anthonycatanzariti]

Amazing video as always! Loved every minute of this series so far and I really appreciate the little bit of Ferrari history in there at the end. Well done and keep up the great work.

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.
