Ferrari said. upon release. that the Scuderia Spider 16M is the
highest performance Spider that it had ever made. Like the
fixedhead F430 Scuderia. this car also incorporates what Ferrari
calls 'F1-derived' technology. With a limited edition 499-unit
production run. the '16M moniker' refers to Ferrari's 16 F1
Constructors World Championships- the latest of which was achieved
in 2008.
Although the 16M is derived from its enclosed predecessor. Ferrari
had taken the Scuderia concept even further. Despite the additional
body strengthening. the 16M is 80kg lighter. tipping the scales at
an admirable 1340kg. Much of this has been achieved by a major
overhaul of the double-wishbone suspension as well as new dampers
and a new steering box. even gaining titanium springs and wheel
bolts. a measure of the 16M's extreme engineering brief.
the same 503bhp version of Ferrari's 4. 3 litre. V8 found in the
coupé. the 16M had undergone an extra tweak in the form of
redesigned pistons which also allow for a higher compression ratio
offering 80% of the engine's torque on tap from 3. 00rpm. The
engine drives the F1-SuperFast2 six-speed transmission. which can
execute shifts in a claimed 60 milliseconds via the steering wheel
paddles.
Helping keep the 16M on the road is the F1-Trac traction control
system which allows the driver to select five basic 'characters'
for the 16M from wet conditions. through good-road holding and
track-driving. The car's electronic safety net can. though. be
progressively disabled with the CT setting allowing oversteer at
maximum power and CST taking away everything but the E-Diff's
efforts.

Capable of being pleasantly civilised and surprisingly aggressive. br/>this 16M Scuderia. presented in Ferrari White with deep red Suede
trim. was purchased. or rather. was allowed to be purchased by a
wealthy eastern European business man in 2009 from Karner &
Grossegger Automobile Ferrari in Austria. Initially cared for by
Warm UP KFT Ferrari in Budapest. the initial owner transferred
ownership to his son in 2011 before selling the vehicle on to a
prominent business contact of the family in Spain where Guarnieri
Marbella and C. DE Salamanca S. A Ferrari have since serviced and
cared for the car. Offered with UK registration. this lefthand
drive example is offered complete with all handbooks and relevant
documents and. by our estimations. is a genuine example of a fast
appreciating limited-edition Ferrari. a motorcar that Ferrari were
rightly very proud of and. with only 499 ever produced many of
which will never come to market. this is a rare opportunity to own
a slice of Maranello's finest.
