Based on my knowledge, Ferrari have designed and produced the 'Scuderia' version to be placed alongside the berlinetta and barchetta (hard top coupe and convertible coupe respectively) range of F430's. But IIRC Ferrari does sell original Ferrari 'higher performance' products, such as cf intakes, engine department covers, etc.

I doubt that Ferrari would produce a 'Scuderia' with a convertible top, since it reduces chassis stiffness and adds about one hundred pounds, which leads to less overall performance, completely making the 'Scuderia' pointless.

But maybe the owner had/s too much money to spend and ordered a bespoke 'Scuderia Spyder', theres no shortage of people like that these days. Although I seriously hope for it to not be an original, and simply a barchetta with 'Scuderia' parts added on.


Yeah. It was my dad who told me it was in the car park and when he said it was a convertible I disagreed with him over what it was and that was my argument.

Maybe it was just bespoke.

lol well it was actually called that (never had that badge on the car) but that's how I would describe it. If it is a replica, it is a Failrrari :lol:

So while Ciro might be able to predict the future, it seems that Scotracer has him beat by being able to vacation there!

As presented at the Ferrari World Finals at Mugello today, the 'Scuderia Spider 16M'.

The open top will satisfy those who want a special Ferrari, but have no idea what the 16 constructor's titles really mean. Honestly, I think hacking the top takes away much of the performance aspect the original F430 Scuderia offered.

Surprisingly, for once the open top version looks better than the coupe. I found the original Scud looking sort of overhyped. As if it was a 430 WRX Sti. Especially with those 'golden' wheels and stripes over the bonnet. This one looks just right in red (rosso scuderia I reckon). It may be a few tenths a lap slower than the coupe but I bet it's just as fun to drive. West, you are so wrong! :) I'd still dump that stripe though.

Modbaraban, I believe the gold wheels weren't used for production, as I've never seen them on any road going model up. And I don't mind the stripes, similar ones were also on the 360 Challenge Stradale. Speaking of which, I saw a 360 CS on saturday morning, and photographs don't do it justice :shock: . Unfortunately I had to take a different route from it and we parted ways much sooner than I would have liked.

Here is one of my favorite videos of the F430 Scuderia, by CAR magazine. Enjoy.



I hope this video changes anyones opinion that the Spider looks better than the coupe. They [Spiders] look horrible with the top up IMO, I've seen one up close recently as well.

A few weeks ago I was at the Autobahn country club in Joilet,Illinois USA to get my SCCA liscense. Their was 2 Scuderia's lapping and I can tell you that they sound and look absolutely incredible! The shifts are so fast and the noise!!! As Tifosi stated, pictures do no justice! I did not like the stripes of the coupe in pictures but in person they look perfect!

I saw my first Scuderia yesterday, it was just like the one used for the models introduction, red with racing stripes and gold wheels. A bit tacky but it´s still a 430 Scuderia, and I bet the owner couldn´t care less because he´s one of the happiest people alive.

Heres a cool pic:

Just watched GT open highlights on MotorsTV and noticed this familiar face.

I think it looks way better than the old 430 GT3.

You call it the F430 or the Ferrari 430 - the F is short for Ferrari ;)

Not crazy about the striping on the Scuderia or the rims, but the rest of it looks pretty good to me.
