Chinese To Release F430 Cell Phone

What better way to call your closest friends up than on your new Ferrari cell phone? That’s right! The Chinese are showing off their love of Ferraris by creating a Ferrari F430 cell phone - which is set to be released later this year. 

Like their vehicles – Ferrari has made sure that only the best will be offered to those who purchase one. The phone will be equipped with a 2.2” LCD display that is touch sensitive, dual band support, USB connectivity, video player, music player, a memory expansion slot, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and of course the usual pre-installed demo games.

2008 F430 Compact Coupe Concept

The 2008 Ferrari F430 Challenge Stradale is a high-performance F430 that came from Ferrari’s F430 Challenge series racecar. Compared to the standard F430 coupe, the Stradale features a more aggressive suspension, revised transmission, carbon-fiber interior trim and lightweight wheels, all of which are designed to give the Stradale a harder edge than the standard F430 coupe.

Ferrari F430

The Ferrari F430 is Ferrari’s latest mid-engine V8-powered sports car, available as both a coupe and an open-top Spider, replacing the 360 Modena. It continues the extensive use of aluminum for the chassis, body and suspension, which began with the 360 Modena.

For the F430, Ferrari placed the rear-mounted engine as low as possible in the chassis and increased its displacement to 4.3 liters from 4.2, in order to handle increased torque. The company also tuned it to rev higher than it does in the Maseratis, because delivering power at high engine speeds is a Ferrari trademark.
