The Ferrari F430 Spider is powered by a 4,308cc V8 engine that is capable of developing 490 hp. This lightweight and highly compact unit provides a weight to power ratio of 2.9kg per horsepower. Not only does it propel the vehicle to an impressive top speed of over 310 km/h (over 193 mph) and 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 4.1 seconds, but it also includes a number of important technical features inspired by the Scuderia's F1 cars. The steering wheel-mounted manettino was first introduced on the Ferrari F430 Coupe, which allows for adjustments of the car's set-up without any fuss. The unique design of the Ferrari F430 Spider was fine-tuned using advanced computer aerodynamics simulation programmes that are usually exclusive to F1 teams. The distinctive elliptical air intakes on the car are based on those of the 1961 Ferrari 156 F1. Its spoilers and diffuser are highly efficient in increasing its aerodynamic performance, and when the fully electric hood is lowered, it takes up surprisingly little space.
