And here we have it, a slightly mixed up creation by Ferrari – a hardcore stripped down rear engined, rear wheel drive racing car… with a convertible roof! This is the drop top version of the 430 Scuderia and its been christened the Ferrari 430 16M Scuderia Spider, limited to only 499 units. It’s apparently to celebrate their F1 team’s 2008 constructor championship title.
The 16M Scuderia Spider shaves 80kg (as a comparison, the 430 Scuderia shaved 100kg off the regular F430 coupe) off the regular spider through the omission of a few stuff like floormats and other weight reduction measures such as increased use of carbon fiber. Playing around with product tie-ins a little, there is also a Ferrari-customised Apple iPod Touch integrated into the center dock in front of the dashboard.
Unlike the 430 Scuderia which featured the single clutch F1-Superfast2 transmission, the 430 16M Scuderia Spider gets an even faster shifting 6-speed twin clutch transmission for uninterrupted power transfer. Interestingly this is one cog down from the 7 speeds in the Ferrari California, I wonder why.
0 to 100km/h only takes a blistering 3.7 seconds, thanks to the power unit which is the highly tuned direct injection 4.3 litre unit from the Ferrari California putting out 510 horsepower at 8,500rpm and 470Nm of torque at 5,250rpm. It revs up to a limiter of 8,640rpm.
Look after the jump for a whole photo gallery of the new Scuderia Spider.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
maybe it doesnt want to compete with the california, else its pretty much a california with a f430 look
Hey !!!!! Itz my baby !!!!!
Finally my F430 is out in da forum…….!!!!! First to comment too !!!!
The front spoiler seems different from mine…. mine kinda oval, i mean the vent on the spoiler … and the interior seems all-black… think i should go back to singapore showroom to check-out this rim is available or not !!!! It lukz hotter than my current rim !!!!!!!
Or maybe the 7-speed is not ready for rear engine installation yet.
maybe so. that applies to the same idea that the dsg gearbox was not made for the tiguan for offroading too. but i still think, practically, its still a california based engine, but would churn out different handling. some ppl like it to be FR, much like what BMWs and mercs are nowadays
Paul, i would like to order 1.
Sometimes I wonder if Ferrari is really worth that much money? You can definitely score a better deal with lambo, or even cheaper still with Porsche. the Exciting factor (x-factor) belongs to Ferrari and Porsche. Speed, belongs to Porsche. Lambo, holds title for exotic looks, comfort and ease of driving.
One thing is for sure, you can really feel the presence of the Ferrari. The screaming exhaust note is loud and addictive. I think that is why it is worth so much more.
i hope i have this car in my house. huhu…. =D
If i’m filthy rich… i will own this car for my collectioon.
;-}
the f430 spider is the ugliest ferrari i’ve ever seen
check out the front disc brakes…is it seriously that huge???
Why it comes with 2 different RIM??? Is this 16M lower than the usual Scuderia Spider ??

yeah, u r exactly true…. this model have created a negative impresssion for me for a luxurious super car like ferrari…. actually f430 spider do look like a super car but it looks very bad…. I’ll rather go for Lamborghini Gallardo LP560 than this one…. Gallardo LP560 is already on sale in Singapore and i saw a white colour one in the showroon… but my convoy buddies just have the normal gallardo and two superleggera… and got one more buddy havin’ silver 360 modena…. Normally we used to hang around in jb and orchard in singapore on public holzZ…..

even if u own a ferrari here in singapore, it doesnt mean a lot here coz we have a large number of million dollar exotic cars here…. Only when i bring my ferrari to malaysia, all the local people would be lookin at my F430 in a weird way…. In singapore, ppl dont care even if u park Ferrari or lamborghini anywhere… three months ago when i had convoy to Genting, we had a yellow Paganni Zonda joinin’ our convoy !!!! and guyz, u know what, we have a white Audi R8 in our convoy recently, if u guyz dun believe, the car no. plate [ SGZ 7389M ] , so those stayin’ in JB watch out for this R8 on weekends…. I dont think R8 is in Malaysian shores yet !!!!

blame the brokers, they buy huge amounts of ferraris and sell it to people who desperately need one in a week for double or triple the price
Hi all, I am not Singaporean, but I have been there for many times (more than 100 times, but strangely I still don't remember the road well). I am saving for two Ferrari. I wonder how much F430 coupe and F430 Scuderia will be in Singapore? Can anyone help me? At Sydney it cost AUD 500,000 for F430 and AUD 600,000+ for Scuderia F430. Any idea? And what make R8 more special then Ferrari (well, I think R8 interior is more luxury then F430).
PS: On my last trip to Singapore last week, I saw 2 F430 Spyder and 3 GT-Rs (white, red and yellow).
hi there..
i have question..
1.What is the road tax & insurance of Ferrari F430 in Malaysia?
2.What is the fuel usage per km of Ferrari F430?
Thank you
