The heart of the Ferrari F430, the F136E ENGINE, is a 90-degree V8 with a block and cylinder heads made of aluminum alloy.
This unit, compared to its predecessor mounted on the Ferrari 360, offers significant improvements: a larger displacement of 4308 cc, a weight reduction of about 4 kg, and significantly improved performance.
The torque increases by 25% to 465 Nm at 5250 rpm, while power rises by 23% to 490 hp at 8500 rpm.
The distribution with 4 valves per cylinder and double overhead camshafts for each bank aligns with recent technical choices.
