Custom 2005 Ferrari F430 Stuns with Simplicity
We know that newer Ferrari models look incredible. However, this F430 makes us think these cars deserve a little more attention!
With the popularity of what we would consider “new” Ferrari models such as the 488 GTB, we are a little disappointed by the amount of exposure that older model such as the F430 receive. These cars without a doubt share the same magic that make these Italian supercars so special and desirable. Why don’t we see these cars as often then on social media? We think this is due to the fact that they are in an interesting transitional period. They aren’t quite “classics” yet like the 348 GTB, but they definitely show their age when compared to their modern equivalents.
We really appreciate it when somebody goes out of their way to show how amazingly beautiful these cars can be. As you might assume, this isn’t a stock F430. It actually is far from stock, nearly every single aspect of this vehicle has been modified. However, somehow it still doesn’t look over the top or obnoxious. The aesthetic is simple, yet elegant. We love that. Thanks to an Instagram post by Super Street, we get to learn a little bit more about Terry Nguyen‘s 2005 Ferrari F430.
Nyugen like many other kids had the “childhood dream to own a Ferrari”. He went on to fulfill his ambition by falling in love with the design of the F430. He knew he wanted his to be a white exterior with a red interior and he waited for “over a year” to find the perfect example to buy. We aren’t sure if Nyugen daily drives this Ferrari, but we know he wanted to retain its driveability even though it looks like a show car. Thus, he spent a lot of time getting the air suspension setup perfect. Obviously, the whole setup is custom and Nyugen stated that “everyone is always shocked” knowing the car is on air.
However, this is only one of the features that make this car so special. The classic BBS LM wheels are custom made for this car. Just like the bespoke rear bumper with the center-exit exhaust, the Scuderia front bumper, and the carbon-fiber Ferrari Challenge door panels. These are just some of the details that make this car stand out to us. If you enjoyed this Ferrari and would like to learn more about it, feel free to check out the associated Super Street article.
