While Ferrari's U.S. sales are down Ferrari North America says its cars have a waiting list, especially newer models like the Ferrari 430 Scuderia. The Scuderia was launched in the U.S. in early 2008. The name means "stable," in Italian, like where the horses are kept (the Ferrari logo is a prancing horse), but it's also the informal name for the Ferrari racing team. The car gets 503 hp from a 4.3-liter V-8. That produces a 0-to-62-mph time (100 kph) of only 3.6 seconds, one of the world's few production cars under four seconds.
