The 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit will be very lucky as it will be graced with the presence of two Ferrari models – the 430 Scuderia and the 599 GTB Foriano. Aside from these two Ferrari models, the automaker will also use this event to showcase its biofuel-powered technological demonstration prototype which ahs the F430 Spider as its base. The year 2007 served as a great year for Ferrari as it marked its 60th year in the automotive industry and it had been coupled by high-performing sales. Ferrari was able to record a 14 percent increase in sales compared to its sales in 2006. Detroit served as the perfect avenue for Ferrari to showcase its biofuel-powered prototype vehicle because of the increasing awareness and interest of North America in alternative sources of fuel for their vehicles. this vehicle is actually the result of the research and development program that Ferrari said it would be doing as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations. There have been certain modifications made to the F430 Spider Biofuel’s fuel feed system and to the engine’s CPU just so the model can be powered by E85 fuel. By developing the technological demonstration prototype, Ferrari was able to prove that it can offer technological solutions that are being demanded by the market but still maintain the sporty and high-performance character of its vehicles. On the other hand, the 430 Scuderia is the new and impressive sporty berlinetta of Ferrari. This particular Ferrari model boasts of an Avio Met livery with Grey Alacantara interiors. Meanwhile, the 599GTB Foriano has a Rosso Corsa livery and Charcoal interiors. Both of these Ferrari models feature Brembo carbon-ceramic material ir CCM brakes. These brakes are now offered as standard on the models in the Prancing Horse range. Also, these brakes would offer a lot of benefits to these Ferrari models and so have been considered as must-haves for the Prancing Horse vehicles.
