"Ferrari’s lightweight specials rank among the most coveted modern performance cars ever built," they said. "Yet the identity of the very first example of each generation is often lost to history," continued AAtelier M.This car is believed to be the earliest F430 Scuderia chassis ever produced. In fact, it is thought this car precedes the cars Ferrari took to the Frankfurt Motor Show when Maranello officially unveiled the car to the public, when Michael Schumacher was on hand to do the honors. That adds to the cool factor of this supercar.The car is chassis number 155217, built just before the Frankfurt show cars were. It is finished in a stunning Blu Scozia color, over Grigio Alcantara. The manufacturer owned the car at first before it eventually passed into private hands. At the time of the auction, the F430 was listed as having 23,000km on the odometer, or 14,291 miles. So in essence, this is basically a brand new Ferrari F430 Scuderia.The Expected Value of This F430 ScuderiaAAtellier MAAtelier M has stated that the price for the F430 is 'available upon request,' so we can't give a proper value for this specific supercar. But we only have to look at the market, and what others have sold for to get an idea of what this one might sell for.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to Classic.com, the average sales price at the moment for an F430 stands at $250,076 at the time this article was written.

In fact, it would not be a surprise to see the car sell for over $1 million. While it has more miles than the Spider 16M we mentioned, the fact that it is the first F430 Scuderia will help to drive that price up.Why Is the Ferrari F430 So Desirable?AAtellier MThe F430 succeeded the Ferrari 360, which had already been widely praised, and was the precursor to the excellent 458 from 2009. The 4.3-liter F136 V8 engine was a standout, boasting up to 503hp in the Scuderia and Spider versions of the car. Even in 2026, the F430 is still wicked fast, in all its forms, and it's surprisingly comfortable for such a vehicle. Plus, the F430 is still a great-looking piece of kit from Maranello.
