Sports Car Ferrari 430 Scuderia - Michael Schumacher spent a lot of time testing the 430 Scuderia when it
was being developed, carefully applying the method that made him unique
on the racetrack for many years. All the ingredients were there: a light
and powerful car, comfortable and ergonomic, with an incredible
weight/power ratio; ground-effect aerodynamics, which makes the car more
effective, at higher speeds; powerful quick-response braking guaranteed
by callipers and carbo-ceramic discs, and in particular the manettino
mounted on the steering wheel that allows the driver to adjust the car
set-up according to the driver's requirements. During his racing career,
the seventimes World Champion's work on the manettino and steering
wheel-mounted controls, in close association with the engineers and
electricians, was one of the reasons for his extraordinary success on
the racing track. Schumacher's suggestions have also had a profound infl
uence in the development of Ferrari Formula 1 steering wheels in recent
years.
This is why, when you saw him at the wheel of the 430 Scuderia on the old Nürburgring, you instantly knew what he was looking for in his continuous, methodical adjustments of the controls that coordinate gear change timing, traction, suspension compliance and stability.

This model has therefore profited from the incomparable sensitivity of this driver throughout its development. And now this experience is available for everyone.
