AV Engineering's 550BHP Ferrari F430 F1 Review - The Last "Classic" Ferrari?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- The F430 was a step change for Ferrari when it came out. The chassis may have been a development of the Alcoa built aluminium item used in the 360, but the engine was a brand new unit - putting out 490hp and 343lb ft of torque - massively up on the old Dino-based V8.
Today the F430 seems something of a bargain, and is also the last mid-engined V8 you can buy with a manual gearbox, but today I'm testing the much cheaper and more common F1 car to see just what it's like and whether for £70,000 it is the supercar bargain to buy.

My late brother had a F430 Spider he loved that car. Last car he ever bought. Happy memories.
I hope the two things were unrelated. Merry Christmas and best wishes.
Well at some point and somewhere this coming year he’ll watch over you as you reach 250,000 subs. Guaranteed it’ll happen.
@@Tigermoto Yes unrelated. We had a common love of Ferrari
@@textm2476 Yes hope so. We worked together every day of our working life with the cars and bike.
What happened with Your brother, if i may ask.
All of the Ferrari V8s in your mini-series have been reviewed many times before, but you bring something new with a lot more detail on the cars themselves, driving experience, and historical context. Well done! These stand a good chance of becoming the modern seminal reviews for these cars.
Well said
Loving the intro... very Michael Mann/Miami Vice...
Ah that's what it reminded me of, I could not place it.
Michael Mann 👍
Yes. The highway scene from Heat featuring Moby's cover of A New Dawn Fades by Joy Division was what came to my mind...
This is the best-looking Ferrari. In fact, it looks better now than it did when it came out. I said it.
This is not long ago when cars like F430 don't even have over-ly aggressive styling on them compare to design of now. Simpler styling don't go outdated, but i like 360 more. 360 just look so elegant.
Defo my favourite Ferrari.
You're giving me Miami Vice vibes, and I'm here for it.
Look for the 430 scene in Miami vice (2006)
I just came on here to say exactly the same! 🤣
@@jose7777777777777777 Literally watched it the other day maybe a week ago. LOL
This video should have started with phil collins singing "I can feel it coming in the air tonight..."
Had to go watch the film after watching this video... 😂
Loving that sinister, dark sounding electro/rock intro. Happy Christmas and may you and your channel enjoy a prosperous new year!
Look for synthwave or electrowave in you enjoy this sort of music. I most definitely do.
@@rickdeckard1984 I'll definitely check it out, thank you for the heads up.
I thought it was about music then a ferrari turned up
Saw an f430 yesterday funny enough, in that same colour. I think they're aging very well, still look sharp.
Props to the owners letting you drive these. Some very generous people around
Couldn't do it without them!
I never fail to be amazed by the generosity of people
60 hp just out of a sports exhaust, a racing intake and a remap? I'd like to see the dyno charts of that !
That’s a brilliant intro. Thanks for the entertainment this year. Have a good one.
My pleasure!
I'd get that steering looked at if I were you. My car is like a scalpel, I dont steer, I just think where I want to go and it goes there. I love it
Killing it, brother - been such a joy and honor to watch your channel grow, hope 2021 is great for you!
Happy Christmas James.
Greetings from The Caribbean Island of Trinidad.
Wishing you and All at Home Good Health
Welcome Carlyle,from juffing cold Derbyshire england 🖐️
Merry Christmas James
Awesome video. That intro was fantastic. Great car. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.
Michael Mann vibe in the intro! Merry Xmas James. Thanks for the excellent content this year. Best for 2021.
Have a wonderful Christmas and as always a wonderful review
Well done. That's a fantastic opening. Love the music, and the low driving shots - and the creativity. Great looking, sounding car too. Right, I'll watch the rest of the video now 😁👍👍
Wow, what an introduction, the hairs were standing up on end! Don't know how you achieved that introduction, but you hit the nail on the head! Please, please please, more of this!
Excellent intro James. I wonder how much more the bar can be raised for the videos between the basic quality of the film and the stellar cars. Long live JayEmm on Cars
Loved your ferrari mid engine v8 series Jayemm! Merry Christmas to you and your family😎.. Can’t wait to see the 458 review!
Happy new year! Congrats, another great review, love the technical details. And indeed, intro is awesome.
Great series of videos mate. Thanks. Happy new year!
Great video Jay. Love the mid engine v8 Ferraris. Have had my eye on a F430 manual spider in Australia for sometime. Great intro to this one. Really good production. Thanks for the quality content.
well done on the intro, it certainly makes for a video that stands out, as do the engine noise captures. nice work.
Great video. Incredible commentary, and the camera work and production values are something else!! Thank you!!!
Best intro you've had!! Do more like these! The synth music and the night drives was too rad
Loving your work this year James. Merry Christmas and a great new year
Watched your video twice already just to listen to that engine music. Great sound recording! Merry Christmas!
Best intro to a video you have ever done 👍
Love the intro synth and supercar👌 Merry Christmas James
HC..love your channel...hope to see more of it in the 2021..have a great NY.
A couple of GoPro’s , and a some trick editing, (it’s all in the editing) , and you’re Sonny Burnet?!?!
It’s cool, I am jealous 😻
Great intro JayEmm Gosling. Your sound game is on point
Thanks for the review, your channel is really great! I own a F430 F1 Spider and fully agree to the comments you gave. The steering is indeed not the best part of the car and the music it makes can be too loud once and a while. We use it a lot for road trips through Europe and in that case it can be exhausted. But...., the good stuff is indeed the visibility, the performances, the seat comfort, the ergonomics and those brakes. Overall a real good useable sportswear
The 360 and 430 are ageing better than me😁 loving the content.. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas... a video today was an unexpected gift. Cheers from Canada!!
Awesome review! Merry Xmas!
That’s F430 sounds amazing
Great intro concept! Always wanted to film something like that with my car
Thought they were boring when they came out. Now I think they’ve dated very well, especially ones in black or grey
Blu Tour de France with Crema interior is oh so desirable IMO. Seen a Grigio Silverstone one with 430 Scuderia wheels, much like this one, very understated in a really good way.
@@AntoniusTyas my dad had a 2006 F430 spider with cream interior and red exterior it was amazing
@@Thenormalguy_real_one Rosso Corsa on Crema is actually rather tasteful. A little bit flash but in a good way.
@@AntoniusTyas yeah I love cream interiors and so does my dad after the Ferrari caught fire he got a Sl63 2008 so with the N/A V8 and it also has a cream interior it’s lovely but gets dirty fast
Good honest review, Thank you!
Sweet synth wave opening music and night shoot? Love it
More stylised videos please! And Happy Christmas to you James...
Thumbs up just for that night drive opening!!! Merry Christmas!
Christmas present to myself away from the bedlam of family zoom calls. Thank you James! Merry Christmas! Loved the intro, that noise is pure filth....fantastic!
The marvelous engine sound that many super cars had prior to particulate filters.
Merry Christmas, James! You've outdone yourself again that intro :)
What an intro. What a car! Merry Christmas
Everytime I see a video of a 430 I think it is a dreamcar and the best looking of the 21 st century Ferraris. The way it drives, it feels, it sounds (especially with the Tubi exhaust) is just amazing. And then I go to my garage and look whether mine is still there!😊❤
Nice homage to Miami Vice - for those of us that were around then
It’s a Christmas miracle! I shall have to watch tomorrow as just off for my one day permitted visit to family.
Love the intro music, rather Driver-esque. Assume that was the intention. Do love some moody electronica.
Merry Christmas all.
Wow! Looks like James got a special effect producer for Christmas 🎄😁 The lighting effects in the intro were awesome as was the music! Well done...Ah and yes...I'm loving the Ferrari series 👍🏾
That intro was really cool and the music.
Um....badass intro!! I had a 430 Spider from ‘08 and loved the thing so much! Even when the 458 and 488 came, they did not move me to swap for them.
Tq for doing this review…was just looking into the car ads for this particular model…very informative!:)
As an F430 owner - having had mine for 7 years now - I will concur with other comments about the steering feel. There is nothing wrong with it at all, however it is greatly affected by tires, particularly age and condition.
When I first had mine I noticed it felt a little odd at the helm. While the tyres still had good tread they were still the originals that it came out of the factory with in 2008 (I took ownership in 2014). So at 6 years old they were way past there best.
I had new tires fitted and the difference was night and day !
Moving on a few years to 2016 I then carried out a few mods. When it was in for service I had the dealership install Scuderia Springs & Spring Pads. Then set the whole suspension up as per Scud - ride height, tracking, camber etc. This totally transformed the steering feel again, with the nose being even more eager to obey the helm. This was even more noticeable on a track !
Lastly, with mine being a late 2008 model, the F1 gearshift & behaviour is superb. I took to it like a duck to water from day one, and have no complaints about it's operation either up or down the the gears. And at 22,000 miles it's still on its original clutch !
I know the difference between 'its' and 'it's' but I can't afford to run an F430. I must have made some wrong life decisions.
Merry Christmas James great series
Aldous top bloke helped me with my manifold change out from stock to AP F1 Box is superb when going for it and the price on the 430 now will not drop like a stone as did the 458 & 488 highly recommend. Great & fair review, no steering issues with mine Sept 2008 car
Merry Xmas James! Nice video mate!
What an intro. Hats off to you James!
You are one of the best doing what you do man. Enjoy all your reviews. Its almost like old top gear but with modern AND old cars. Keep up the great work. Happy Christmas
Thanks! That is the aim
I reckon if you keep doing what you're doing you will have a tv show sometime
One of the best soundtracks for ages . . . glorious noise :)
Nice video James have a nice christmas!!
Had the Spider
Absolutely love the F430
It’s truly a car that I want to own again. I’d take the 458 thou
Christmas day and a video of my favourite Ferrari 😊
Merry Christmas one an all, and a happy holiday to the rest 🥳
My favourite things about the f430, brake feel, front end bite, control on limit, and NOISE!!! An amazing machine, the last of a kind.
This video didn't need any talking over it.. That intro could have gone on for the full 18minutes,pure 80s vibes 👌👌. Brilliant
Noice...and the music straight outta stranger things lol...awesome Xmas vid James!!!
Fantastic review! I love the second bump of power at 5K+ rpms. F430s are a bargain right now
Merry Christmas James...hope you get to add another hero car to your collection this coming year...
Loving that intro.......
Reminded me of a futuristic type of Blade Runner/Terminator with a road movie thrown in just for good measure.
Happy Christmas everyone 👍
Merry Christmas James!
Great video, AWESOME music. 🤘😆
When I bought my 430 some eight years ago, everyone told me I should get F1 gearbox, but I insisted I wanted a proper manual. Seems like I made a good choice. Although the extra value is a bonus nowadays, it's not that important to me, it's just a fantastic car to drive.
Ah yes, I was your 1,000th Like - that was weirdly satisfying! Great review and car too, damn that thing sounds AMAZING!
what an exhaust note! truly spine tingling.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
My Maserati GranTurismo had the F1 gearbox and once I got to know it I loved it but as you say you have to drive it hard to really appreciate it. I have driven an F430 and I would love to own one someday.
We need more night clips, they're extremely cool
The music alone is worth the like!
Nice review. Lovely sound and my 2004 Celica used to do that odd reverse interior beeping not sure why manufacturers think it helps.
Great review. 430's are just so awesome!!
Nice video James. I do know what you mean about having those 2 cars on the driveway (550 and 430) that’s what I have, and it’s the perfect combination to me !!
Have a lovely Xmas James...🎅🤶🌲🙂🚗💨
love the review
Epic intro!
That intro... epic!
Jay, what is this nightrider stuff? LOL good video as always, chap.
That intro!!! 👀🙌🏻
Great video. Reminds me of the 2006 Miami Vice movie and the Top Gear 430 video.
Great content . Would love you to do a video on a basic gen 1 996 Carrera 2 like mine. I love how free from technology it is and fun to drive
Omg that noise !!! Wow 😳just added the f430 to my list of best sounding cars in the world and it’s near the damn top !!
Great stuff
Wow, one of your old school shirts showing on Christmas day. 430 seemed an improvement on the 360 but the 458 was in another world on performance and styling. As you say, the 430 stepped up technology. This once sounds good.
Loving the intro music and the night time driving scenes.
Reminds me a bit of Terminator 2 Judgement Day for some reason.
I like watching your videos. Keep it up old chap.
Cheers matey
F430 was my poster car 😍
amazing sound. music to ears :)
Thanks for the awesome review as always! Do you think that a Scuderia could have better steering than the standard F430?
