JAKARTA RM Sotheby's will auction off a rare 2008 Ferrari 430 Scuderia production with low distances. The auction itself will take place January 25, 2025 in Arizona Car Week, which is one of three of the top three classic car events, collectors, and exotics in the United States and is held every January.

This high-power sports car is an evolution of 430, developed together with legendary Formula 1 racer Michael Schumacher and first introduced to the public at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2007.

Following the philosophy of the lightweight 360 Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia offers a significant improvement aimed at providing a superior driving experience, both on track and on highways.

The V-8 4.3 liter Scuderia engine was upgraded to 503 hp and 470 Nm torque. Assisted by an empty weight which decreased to 2,758 pounds (1250 kg) was achieved with a lot of use of carbon fiber and light matter. This auctioned Scuderia is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/hour in 3.3 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 318 km/hour.

Meanwhile, further performance improvements come via F1-SuperFast2 transmission, which offers significant improvements in dental displacement time, as well as E-Diff2 with F1-Trac traffic control, which helps keep increasing power under control. The aesthetics of this car reflects its focus on the track, with prominent aerodynamic refinements, including revised carbon fiber back diffusers and front bumpers. The interior is upgraded with a redesigned chair coated with an Alcantara seat, carbon fiber-door panel, and an open interior body panel.

The distance from this car is also low because it is rarely driven by only 673 miles or 1083 km and has a Rosso Corsa color with an optional race line above the black interior.

Then for the auction price, RM Sotheby's provides a limit of between 350 thousand US dollars-450 thousand US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 5.4 billion-Rp. 7 billion.
