Ferrari Scuderia Spider

Italian supercar maker, Ferrari, has celebrated winning the F1 Constructor's World Championship for 2008 (16th title in total) in style by unveiling a convertible version - 'Spider', in Ferrari-speak - of the race-bred F430 Scuderia.

Known officially as the Scuderia Spider 16M, the V8-powered convertible is the fastest open-top road car Ferrari has ever built. Power comes from the fantabulous 4.3-litre NA V8 engine developing 375.4 kW at a stratospheric 8,500 rpm and 470 Nm of torque. Performance is sensational, of course, with 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 315 km/h courtesy of the Scuderia Spider 16M's low kerb weight of just 1,340 kg and ultra-low power-to-weight ration of just 2.6 kg/hp.


Strictly limited to just 499 units, the Scuderia Spider 16M is available in a choice of two new signature colour schemes: standard black with grey trim or a special tricolour livery as part of the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme.
