The 16M Scuderia Spider is the open-top track-focused version of the Ferrari F430. It was produced from 2009 to 2010 as the last model of the F430 range before being replaced by the 458 Italia. Named in honor of Ferrari's 16 Formula 1 constructor's championships, the 16M Scuderia Spider is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 with 503 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque paired to a six-speed F1-Superfast2 automated manual transmission. It launches from zero to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 196 mph. The 16M Scuderia Spider has the same body kit, aerodynamics, suspension, interior package, and electronics as its hardcore fixed-roof 430 Scuderia counterpart. These aspects consist of a mostly carbon fiber and aluminum-trimmed interior, a stiffer racing-tuned suspension, more aggressive styling cues, and other weight-saving measures over the standard F430.
Only 499 units were ever built of the 16M Scuderia Spider, with values currently ranging in the $300,000s up to around $400,000. I remember seeing three 16M Scuderia Spiders in person thus far, including the example featured in this post. This one was on display at my local Cars and Coffee meet last month and marked the first time in several years that I saw one up close in a real-world scenario. Overall, the Ferrari 16M Scuderia Spider is an amazing and impressive rare supercar that looks stunning and provides an unbelievable driving experience.
