The ultimate luxury car rental, the 2008 F430
Coupe is a Ferrari-enthusiasts dream. Featuring
the trademark Ferrari rear-engine, a comfortable
interior and attractive body, the F430 is
fast, stylish and capable - the perfect
sports car.
Powered
by a 4.3-liter V8 engine, the F430 Coupe produces
483 horsepower at 8,500 rpm and 343 pound-feet
of torque at 5,250 rpm. Placed behind the
cabin, rather than under the hood, the engine
sends power to the rear wheels through a six-speed
manual transmission. Though many enthusiasts
prefer the traditional transmission with a
gated shifter, drivers do have the option
of an automated-clutch manual, called the
F1, that’s controlled by paddle shifters
mounted to the steering wheel.
Like
a true Ferrari car rental, the F430 is fast.
Improving acceleration and vehicle balance,
an electronically controlled rear differential,
called E-diff, allows the car to accelerate
from zero to 60 mph in four seconds and top
out around 200 mph. For even more speed, the
race-oriented F430 Challenge Coupe is 500
pounds lighter.
Standard
features include 19-inch wheels with high-performance
tires, carbon-ceramic brakes, bi-xenon headlights,
auto-dimming mirrors, antilock brakes, traction
control and stability control - both which
can be conveniently adjusted through a control
mounted on the steering wheel.
What
really makes the F430 Coupe a stunning exotic
car rental is a surprisingly elegant interior.
Covered in rich leather upholstery, the two
standard power seats can be upgraded to carbon
fiber racing seats or Daytona seats, which
reflect the perforated upholstery design used
in the classic 363 Daytona of the early 1970’s.
Automatic climate control ensures drivers
never feel the heat or chill while an impressive
stereo system contributes sound to your ride.
Optional features include a fire extinguisher,
should you speed out of control, Bluetooth,
a navigation system and several personal interior
amenities that truly make the car yours.
