Along with a restyled body, the F430 features
a 4.3 L V8 petrol engine derived from a shared
Ferrari/Maserati design. This new powerplant is
a significant departure for the F430's line: The
engines of all previous V8 Ferraris were descendants
of the Dino racing program of the 1950s. This
fifty year development cycle comes to an end with
the entirely new 4.3 L, the architecture of which
will later replace the Dino-derived V12 in most
other Ferrari cars. The engine's output specifications
are: 360.4 kW (490 hp) at 8500 rpm and 465 N·m
(343 ft·lbf) of torque at 5250 rpm.
