Motors TV - Channel 413 on Sky Digital and 545 on Virgin Media

With Ferrari having just clinched another Formula One constructors’ title, Motors TV is offering an exciting trip to the very heart of the legendary Italian marque, in Maranello.

Only a few weeks after its unveiling during the Frankfurt Motorshow, Motors TV will devote a full half-hour show to the brand new Ferrari 430 Scuderia!

100 kilos lighter than the standard 430 and 20 HP more powerful, this is THE new thoroughbred from the Scuderia! It boasts a 510 HP 4.3 litre V8 engine, top-speed of 320 km/h, automatic gearbox that changes gears in less than 60ms and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in only 3.5 seconds. And to top that, the design is simply stunning!

From development to manufacturing, you’ll get to know everything about the genesis of this legendary new car, and of course we will seek the limits of its V8 engine on the roads around Maranello, and on Ferrari’s own private test track, Fiorano!

For such a special test, Motors TV brings a special crew, as alongside the channel’s regular test-driver Jessica Paupinat, Tim Harvey will bring his huge experience. The ex-BTCC champion is understandably looking forward that Italian trip, "This car promises to be the performance coupe of 2007 and quite possibly for a few years to come. The success Ferrari have enjoyed racing the 430 in ALMS and FIA GT races will now be enjoyed by a select few road drivers looking for the ultimate 430. With 100 kilos less weight than the standard coupe and 510 hp on tap, this car's performance should be nothing less than spectacular! Personally, the opportunity to drive this car at no lesser historic location than Fiorano promises to be a highlight of the year, I shall not be late for my outbound flight!"

430 SCUDERIA, dream test, first showing on October 20th, 6.30 PM.

Motors TV can be found on Sky channel 413 and Virgin Media channel 545
