Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M

The new Scuderia Spider 16M was unveiled at the World Finals in Mugello in celebration of its recent victory in the Formula 1 Constructor’s World Championship 2008.

This limited edition sportscar follows the F430 Scuderia unveiled at Frankfurt in 2007.

It will be produced in 499 units and is the faster Ferrari open-car ever in the Fiorano circuit.

The 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, enables the car to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds and to reach a top speed of 315 kph.

The Scuderia Spider 16M is available in a choice of two new 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.
