There is one unit of the new Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M at the Naza Italia Ferrari showroom by the side of the Federal Highway. It’s hard to miss really, but if you need the address here it is: Lot 1, Jalan 51A/221, 46100 Petaling Jaya.
Head on there if you want to check it out. It’s one out of 499 limited units that exist in this world, assuming some Hollywood stars don’t destroy a few on their way to the next car showroom. The showroom is open for viewing from 11am to 5pm daily, and the Scuderia Spider 16M will be there until the 6th this month.
The 16M Spider is an odd monster. It’s a hardcore stripped down version of the 430 Scuderia, but the stripped down image feels abit out of place considering the fact that its a convertible and requires additional weight to strengthen the roof-less chassis. So that extra weight is still there.
But then again, the 16M name refers to Ferrari’s 16th F1 constructor title win, and F1 cars don’t have roofs… so maybe that’s the logic, I don’t know.
The car’s engine is a 4.3 litre V8 producing 510 horsepower at 8,500rpm and 470Nm of torque at 5,250rpm. The engine bounces off the redline at 8,640rpm. Its gearbox is a dual clutch dry transmission, but unlike the Ferrari California it only has 6 forward gears instead of the California’s 7. 0 to 100km/h takes only 3.7 seconds. If that’s not enough for you, Novitec Rosso sells a tuning kit for the 16M that bumps up its power to nearly 700 horses via twin turbochargers.
Naza Italia’s Lifestyle Centre isn’t just for potential Ferrari buyers and Ferrari Owners Club members. It houses a full range of Ferrari and Maserati merchandise as well, so perhaps instead of a normal red shirt for next year’s Chinese New Year open house visiting you could go in a Ferrari polo or something.
Look after the jump for a full gallery of the 16M.

Fantastic
yeah, i can sense the presence of that monster when i'm on the motorcycle lane near the showroom..
Maybe I can own one next year when Shell sell it in 1:38 scale.
superb engineering but I reckon save the money and go for the scuderia instead and pump it up with novitec kits.
i thought i saw the showroom still under construction? or is it placed in the naza world warehouse?
Show car only la?
ferrari… ferroro rocher… r they connected?…
i was there that night when they was launching…..Felipe Massa was there to unveil the Scuderia spider 16M….
I think it is twin supercharged instead of turbocharged upgrade..
Wow, fantastic! How many units available in Malaysia?
Ferrari.. the best car in the world. Unfortunately, they associate this great name with Naza %#@!!! The lousy name and have bad reputation in term of after sales service, just 'untung atas angin', thats what my neighbour experience with his Ria. Flip flop & no consistency in doing business, thats my experience with their APs lineup.
no thanks..
im no schumacher fanboy btw.
how much for this ???
paul, the F430 uses a sequential gearbox whereelse the California IINM uses a DSG
yes, the scuderia uses sequential, but the 16M in particular has a dry twin clutch. at first i was also confused. i thought only california had dual clutch.
