FRANKFURT, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Seven-times Formula One world champion Michael Schumacher helped launch Ferrari's new 430 Scuderia car at the Frankfurt autoshow on Tuesday, saying he had been involved with development and intensive road testing. Schumacher, who has retired from racing, gave advice on traction control, steering and gearbox transmission to developers of the commercial vehicle.
"Part of my new role within Ferrari, is road car testing. I've had to go to several race tracks to test the new car," the German told a news conference.
Ferrari has launched the 430 Scuderia as a special series model using technology derived from its Formula One team. The name Scuderia refers to the company's racing division.

The new Ferrari 430 Scuderia will join the road-going V8 line-up alongside the F430 coupe and the F430 Spider. The 430 Scuderia is a truly high-performance 2-seater berlinetta which demonstrates how Ferrari's Formula 1 know-how is carried across to its production cars.
The new model is a special series based on the F430 and is aimed specifically at Ferrari's most passionate and sports-driving oriented clients. Development focused on light weight, minimum trimmings and innovative technology. All this to exalt the car's extremely high-performance and ability to thrill the driver.

The new car can count on an extremely low weight-to-power ratio of just 2.45 kg per hp thanks to a low dry weight of just 1250 kg - 100 kg less than the standard F430, and to the naturally-aspirated 4308cc V8's 510 hp at 8500 rpm.
Superb performance both on and off the track is assured by a series of cutting-edge solutions. There is the latest F1 software - Superfast - which reduces gearchange times to just 60 milliseconds, and new traction control which, for the first time, combines the E-Diff electronic differential and the F1-Trac traction and stability control in a single integrated system.
Vehicle dynamics, control and performance thus represent the zenith of Ferrari's achievements in terms of developing road-certified sports cars.
