Manual (2004 to 2009)

The Ferrari F430 Manual is one of the rarest modern Ferrari V8 variants, built between 2004 and 2009 and fitted with the iconic 6-speed gated manual transmission. Powered by a 4.3-litre naturally aspirated V8 producing 483 hp, the manual F430 delivers a uniquely engaging driving experience, combining modern chassis and electronics with old-school mechanical involvement. Only around 5–10% of total F430 production was equipped with the manual gearbox, making it significantly rarer than F1 cars. In the Australian market, manual F430s are considered blue-chip collector cars, commanding a substantial premium due to their rarity, long-term desirability, and status as one of the last gated-manual Ferrari V8s, with originality, colour, and service history playing a major role in value.
