Sounds like the writer is trying to sound smart, as he lists the torque numbers in imperial in brackets, but no the CV. MPG were listed to.
Now I have to go learn what a CV is.
In Italian ("Cavalli"), Spanish ("Caballos"), and Portuguese ("Cavalos"), 'CV' is the equivalent to the German 'PS'. It is also used as the French term for the Pferdestärke, but in French, this should be written in lowercase letters as 'cv'.
In addition, the capital form 'CV' is a French unit for tax horsepower, short for chevaux vapeur ("steam horses") or cheval-vapeur. CV is a non-linear rating of a motor vehicle for tax purposes.[8] The CV rating, or fiscal power, is , where P is the maximum power in kilowatts and U is the amount of CO2 emitted in grams per kilometre. Caution: "CV" has been around for a long time in France. CO2 measurements have not. Modern quotes for CV might include a CO2 factor, but older ones will not. The fiscal power has found its way into naming of automobile models, such as the popular Citroën deux-chevaux. The cheval-vapeur (ch) unit should not be confused with the French cheval fiscal (CV).
In the 19th century the French had their own unit, which they used instead of the CV or horsepower. It was called the poncelet and was abbreviated 'p'.
I wish they would just list the HP. The above paragraph isn't confusing at all. ;p

Somethin´ is wrong with the front I can swalow the rest with ease but not that front end...
Anyway if you´re lucky enough to own one you won´t be bothered by it but those 510 horses screaming behind you...
The F430 became the first Ferrari road car to benefit from the F1 steering wheel-mounted manettino. Just as in Formula 1, drivers can change the set-up of their car and quickly and simply control the electronics governing suspension settings, the Control of Stability (CST) and traction control, E-Diff and the change speed of the F1 transmission, as well as the integration between each of these individual functions. The manettino enables car settings to be changed to suit the personal preferences of the driver, road surface conditions and available grip.
