F430 with factory Roll cage

Love that red interior!

 

Steering wheel on wrong side for UK?

 

I have factory padded roll cage in my 2008 coupe.

 

They were optional in Europe, but not in the US.

 

I've seen a few in Hong Kong locally before. Rare option! But, I love it. Definitely adds much more flair to the interior! I retrofitted a Roll Bar to my 360, and wrapped it in Alcantara.

 

Yes i have it including all the carbon seen on the photo plus factory engine bay carbon.

 

Looks really interesting. And cool

Anyone knows how these can be sourced and wether heavy structural changes are required to install the cage or if it "bolts in" ?

 

Why do you guys keep referring to this as a roll cage? It's a roll bar, plain and simple, not a cage.

 

I'd actually like to see what it looks like. Is this a 3 point bar only, a semi cage, or an actual 6+ point roll cage ?

 

It's a 3 Point, Half Cage, and only goes behind the seats.

This isn't an OEM, but it's essentially identical to the OEM barring that extra roll hoop. It's by Ferran Automotive. Can see that it only sits behind the seats.

 

Thank you. In europe we used to call this a "harness bar" which allows to secure 5 point harnesses with racing seats for club sport applications.
Can be interesting for a casual but serious track day car
The alcantara makes it clean.

 

The factory roll bar is available with optional leather or alcantara cover:

(check part 23)

Therefore we could assume that a 430 could be ordered with such option.

 

It was available on the 360 and 430 (but not in the US), but as noted above, it's a simple roll bar- not a cage or even half cage.

 

Yes, the roll bar was an option for the coupe. I've seen a few. This is the first car that I've seen with factory fitted Scuderia seats.

I also note Bose, F&R parking sensors, Bluetooth, and in addition to the MY08 carbon driving zone a carbon console, and the inner sill trims.
