FERRARI F430 SPIDER – Walkaround in Monaco 2013 HQ

Here another video from my special week-end spent in Monaco last Summer. Monaco is for sure the Carspotting Heaven, because you can see over one hundred supercars and hypercars in a single day without losing the opportuniy to visit this wonderful city located on the beautiful French Riviera.

One of the most exclusive place of the city is for sure the MONTE CARLO BEACH HOTEL, a wonderful place at the end of Monaco at the border with Roquebrune Cap-Martin which offers umbrellas and sunbeds at the seaside. A night in this luxury Hotel costs 500-2.000 €, so only rich people attends it and used to park his amazing supercars in front of Hotel entrace.

In this video a stunning yellow Ferrari F430 Spider with british driving licence plate takes part at the event giving me the possibility to film it in each detail like rims, engine, interior, cavallino logo.

The Ferrari F430 was produced since 2004 by the italian Prancing Horse to replace the beloved Ferrari 360 Modena. Presented at the 2004 Paris Motor Show was sold originaly in the coupe version only at a price of 175.000 € and it was a real success with over 10.000 units sold.
At the 2005 Geneva Motor Show Ferrari launches a convertible version also, the 21th of its history, based on the coupe and with the same design by Pininfarina.
