Redline's website is confirming that the newer Ferraris (F430, etc) are using 5w40.
Seems even Ferrari has figured out that all that internal engine resistance with 5W-60 or 10W-60 is unnecessary i think.
Now what if Bugatti Veyron did the same.........................

Stupid question: short of something like a nitro motor, is ANYTHING harder on oil than a high-boost, high-output turbo engine?
As to question: I think Alcohol-fueled water-injected NHRA funny car is harder on oil than a GN.
That, and redlining an engine within a minute of turning a key on a cold morning. That would be harder on oil that what you describe. Also, routinely short-tripping and not burning off condensation, or overcooled engine a.k.a. sludge factory. Ouch! (I said redlining it not revving it up to 3000RPM for 10 or 15 seconds to help flow.)
