Dry. This is the Euro model weight. The US versions are bound to be ~50kg heavier.

By comparison
- Euro spec CS: 1180 kg with 420 bhp - 6.18 lb/hp
- Euro spec 430: 1350 kg with 480 bhp - 6.19 lb/hp
- Euro spec 430 Scuderia: 1250 kg with 510 bhp - 5.39 lb/hp
- US spec Ford GT: 1538 kg with 550+ bhp - <6.15 lb/hp
- US spec C6 Z06: 1423 kg with 505 bhp - 6.2 lb/hp

Hmmm.. so lets allow 65kg for fuel - say 20kg for water, 5 kg for all the hydraulic fluids and another 20kg for engine, diff and transmisison oil .

You are back at 1360kg or 3000lbs or so wet weight

The Z06 (and I am sure the GT) are wet weights.

So this is the "430 CS"?

Not liking the paint/wheel scheme at all. I thought these ginny wops were supposed to have style.

I think that 1.250kg is wet... with full tank. In Australia. all the cars get weight wet, well in Melbourne only as far as i know.

Looks awful, I think. Those stripes look cheap (I'm sure they cost like $4,000) and those wheels... couldn't look less Ferrari. The back-end seems mutated through some sort of (very effective, i'm sure) aerodynamic tinkering. And bare carbon fiber everywhere. It's too much. I can imagine Lamborghini being this flashy, not Ferrari. I much prefer the 360 Modena to 360 CS conversion to this one. And why Scuderia?

I'm sure it sounds great and goes like stink, though. 510bhp + 1250kg dry weight and all.

Ferrari has never quoted wet weight for models.. in fact, they TELL magazines what to print for weight for certain models

Great way to divert attention from the 997 GT2!
The F430 Scuderia looks very aggressive indeed! The rims look great (a little reminiscent of the GT3 though) but I hope that it being gold won't be standard.

200kilos lighter? That sounds nice.

I think it looks quite hot.

Don't like the stripes very much, but the rest of the car looks reaally good!

Congrats Ferrari!!

This is promising in a purely engineering sense, but this car is not really a good-looking car. What's with the rear-end? Not a good look.
