Ferrari F430

The accolades for the Ferrari F430 seem to keep coming at lightning speed, which also pretty much describes how fast this supercar can travel. Clocking a 0-to-60 time of 3.9 seconds and topping out at a maximum speed of 195 mph, the F430 has few competitors on this planet (unless you count the Space Shuttle). Lamborghini's new LP560-4 Gallardo coupe slightly bests the F430 off the mark, jumping out from 0 to 60 in just 3.7 seconds, but it doesn't match the F430's superb handling, especially in tight corners, according to reviewers.Outside, the F430 displays a distinctive and aerodynamic shape designed in collaboration with Pininfarina, the Italian automotive designer. The wedge-shaped body tapers from the hunky rear end, which houses the engine, to the curvy front end, with its bold fascia. Ferrari designed every exterior component of the largely hand-built body to ensure the height of functionality as well as aesthetics. The F430's flat underbelly and air-flow systems, for instance, not only cool the engine, but also help keep the car firmly planted to the road. Even the side mirrors have specially designed twin mounting arms that help channel airflow to the engine intakes along the lower sides of the car.
