Accurately, this is the real predecessor to the 458 Italia. It is the "lightened and race tuned" variant of the F430, which also happens to be the last trim level of its generation.
Unlike the base F430, the Spartan and brutal performance of the Scuderia variant allows it to hold a candle over its successor... at least for a while...

Serving as the successor onto the 360 Challenge Stradale, the 430 Scuderia was unveiled by Michael Schumacher at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show. Aimed to compete with cars like the Porsche RS-models and Gallardo Superleggera, it is 100 kg (220 lb) lighter than the standard F430 and increases engine output to 375.4 kW (503 hp) at 8500 rpm. Thus the weight-to-power ratio is reduced from 2.96 kg/hp to 2.5 kg/hp. In addition to the weight saving measures, the Scuderia sequential manual transmission gains improved 'Superfast' software for faster 60 millisecond shift-times. A new traction control system combines the F1-Trac traction and stability control with the E-Diff electronic differential. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia does 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.6 s, with a top speed of 198 miles per hour (319 km/h)
