Ferrari Unveils F430 Scuderia Spider 16M with 510HP V8 and iPod Touch - 26 High-Res Photos

Talking about speed, Ferrari claims that the limited production Scuderia Spider 16M is faster around the Fiorano circuit than any other Prancing Horse open-top road car built to date. Just like the F430 Scuderia Coupe, the Spider features a tweaked version of the firm's 4.3-liter V8 which now produces 510HP while Ferrari's extensive diet has resulted to a weight saving of 80 kg or 176 lbs for a total of 1340 Kg or 2,954 lbs (versus the F430 Scuderia Coupe's 2,756 lbs).

The result is a power-to-weight ratio of 2.6 kg/hp with a 0-100 km/h (62mph) acceleration in just 3.7 seconds and a maximum top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph).

From a styling point of view the Scuderia Spider 16M is available in a choice of two new signature colour schemes: the standard version is black with grey trim and a tricolor livery which is available as part of Ferrari's "Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme".

The track-ready / capable Spider also sports special plaques on its rear grille and 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 customized Ferrari iPod Touch 16 GB with central dock just in front of the dashboard.
