The All New Ferrari Scuderia Spider
|
|
|
|
 Ferrari has chosen the Bologna Motor Show for the world unveiling of the new Scuderia Spider 16M, a special limited edition series of only 499 unique cars, launched to celebrate the 16th World Constructors' title won by the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro in the 2008 F1 season.
This new high performance Spider encompasses all of Maranello's cutting-edge mid-rear 8-cylinder technology. In fact, the Scuderia Spider 16M clocked a blistering 1'26''5 lap time at the Fiorano circuit, making it the fastest Prancing Horse drop-top ever. This new car was created for our most passionate clients, clients who demand the kind of exclusivity, blistering performance and enjoyment behind the wheel that only a Spider as truly evocative as this one can offer.
Another of the star attractions at the Ferrari stand is the Ferrari California, the Prancing Horse's first ever front-mid-engined V8 and its first retractable hard-top convertible. The 8-cylinder range, traditionally located in the high performance area, now has a new GT addition with plenty of sporty blood in its veins. This is a hugely innovative car that will satisfy the demands of even our most discerning clients when it comes to driving pleasure, flexibility of use and in-car comfort. The current Ferrari 8-cylinder range is completed by the F430, which, of all the mid-rear-engined berlinettas, embodies Ferrari's leadership in motor racing.
The 12-cylinders are represented by the 599 GTB Fiorano, exhibited in a traditional Rosso Corsa livery, and the Prancing Horse's current flagship model, the 612 Scaglietti with Nero Daytona paintwork and with a particularly sumptuous array of additional features and accessories from the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation programme.
The Prancing Horse will also be one of the leading brands on display in the Motorsport Stadium where various competitions and exhibitions are planned throughout the Show. On Saturday, December 6th, test-driver Luca Badoer will be at the wheel of a Ferrari single-seater for the now-traditional Formula 1 exhibition complete with pit stop simulations. The FXX programme and the Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli and Coppa Shell will taking centre stage on Saturday, for what has once again become a regular extra date on the sporting calendar.
Scuderia Spider 16M
The Scuderia Spider 16M is instantly recognisable because of its special livery, of which two versions are available: the basic configuration of black with grey edging or an optional tricolour livery from the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme. The car also sports a special plaque celebrating Ferrari's 16th Constructors' World title on its rear grille. The Scuderia Spider 16M boasts a highly exclusive cabin too. Luxury touches include a silver "serie limitata" plaque just over the air conditioning vents on the dash, for instance. Other exclusive features include a roll-bar with a carbon-fibre outer shell, a specific new generation audio system which can be combined with the removable personalised Ferrari iPod Touch 16 GB which is docked in the dash. From a technical point of view, the Scuderia Spider 16M has a dry weight of 1340kg (80kg lighter than the F430 Spider), which, thanks to the 510 hp punched out by its V8 engine and a power-to-weight ratio of 2.6 kg\hp, guarantees stunning performance figures that include 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.7 second and a top speed of 315 km/h.
