Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spyder

[Danny]

For 2009 Ferrari unveiled the Scuderia Spider 16m In celebration of its victory in the Formula 1 Constructor's World Championship for 2008. This new high performance sports car features the very best of Ferrari's latest mid-rear-engined 8-cylinder technology. In fact, the Scuderia Spider 16M is faster round the Fiorano circuit than any other Prancing Horse open-top road car yet built. This truly evocative special series model, of which just 499 unique examples will be produced, is aimed at the most passionate clients, drivers who demand both exclusivity and superb driving pleasure.

The Scuderia Spider 16M is available in a choice of two new signature colour schemes: the standard version is black with grey trim, while a tricolour livery is also available as part of the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme. The new car also sports a special plaque on its rear grille commemorating Ferrari's 16th Constructor's World title. The exclusivity of the interior is underscored by the silver "limited series" plaque just above the air vents at the centre of the dashboard. Other exclusive features include a roll-bar with carbon-fibre outer shell and a specific new generation audio system that can be combined with the removable customised Ferrari iPod Touch 16 GB with central dock just in front of the dashboard.

From a technical point of view, this car has a dry weight of 1340 Kg (80 kg lighter than the F430 Spider). This, combined with the 510 hp provided by its V8 engine and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.6 kg/hp, means that it delivers blistering 0-100 kph acceleration in just 3.7 seconds and a superb top speed of 315 kph.

Dear god. that is sexy.

I wouldn't be too terribly upset having to look at that every morning in the garage...

 

[Tornado]

Boo!

 

[YSSMAN]

Hmmm. Interesting. I've never really fancied the drop-top versions of the hyped-up Ferraris. Not sure why. Obviously this is one for the hardcore fans...

The rear 3/4 view has the look of a door-stop.

Kind of eliminates the point of the 430 Scuderia, then....

 

[DaddyVDUB]

Very Nice cant believe the size of those brake rotors.

 

[Robin]

Looks excellent... very angry!

Exactly my thoughts, a stripped out racer with all the extra weight of the bracing??

F430 verts own 430 coupes in the looks department IMO but this is just

Exactly my thoughts, a stripped out racer with all the extra weight of the bracing??

Both the scuderia coupe and spyder are still in the 2900-3000 pound range from what I've seen on google. I wouldn't be surprised if the soft top doesn't come with a motor.

sweet, beautiful..

Very Nice cant believe the size of those brake rotors.

Yeah... they look odd next to those rims.

I prefer the coupe, one of my favourite Ferraris.

-> I saw it in person at the LA Auto Show, the car was overshadowed by the new California roadster and the 599 Fiorano. And the one I saw is the red with gold wheels like those BBS on those Subies. It just needs a royal blue treatment to look like a very swoopy STI.

-> With the California, the 430 Scuderia made look like a regular F430 Spyder.
