Which Ferrari model does Luigi admire in Pixar's Cars?

The story behind the answer

Luigi admires the Ferrari F430 in Pixar's Cars. Luigi is the Italian owner of Luigi's Casa Della Tires in Radiator Springs and is an enthusiastic Ferrari fan despite operating a tire shop for small cars.

When a real Ferrari arrives in town near the end of the film, Luigi and Guido become extremely excited. The car is voiced by Michael Schumacher, the seven-time Formula One World Drivers' Champion, who appears as himself in the Italian version and several other language versions.

The Ferrari F430 was produced by Ferrari from 2004 to 2009. Its appearance in Cars reflects the film's interest in real automotive brands and racing culture. Luigi's admiration is a character detail, while the Ferrari's visit also helps show how Radiator Springs becomes connected to the wider motoring world.
