The F430 features a 4.3 liter V8 gasoline engine that produces 483 horsepower at 8500 rpm and 343 lb-ft of torque at 5250 rpm vs. the outgoing 360's 400 horsepower and 275 ft-lb of torque at 8500 rpm and 4250 rpm respectively. That means the F430 has a 21% and 25% horsepower and torque increase respectively over the 360. Despite the low torque figures 80% of that power is available below 3500 rpm. Engine displacement is 4,300cc for the F430 up 20% over the outgoing 360 model's 3586cc but weight has only grown by 4kg. This is mainly due to the fact that the outgoing 360 featured the last of Ferrari's Dino-derived architecture, while the F430 featured an entirely new design. With the new design, greater displacement and light weight, the Ferrari F430 is capable of hitting a top speed of 200 mph and going from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds flat, 0.5 seconds faster than the 360. The Formula One (F1) transmission was also vastly improved from the 360, allowing the F430 to make shifts as fast as 150 milliseconds, 4 times faster than a human can blink.
