The standard E-Diff is an electronic limited-slip rear differential that varies the distribution of torque based on inputs such as steering angle and lateral acceleration. A switch on all F430 steering wheels, called a manettino, integrates suspension, traction control, stability control and shifter systems and allows the driver to choose the optimum setting for current conditions. Unique Scuderia standard features include carbon fiber interior trim, carbon ceramic brake system, re-styled front fascia, modified side-skirts, dual exhaust tips, a revised rear diffuser, 19-inch wheels, and carbon-fiber exterior mirrors.
