Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M has been created with the goal of
bringing together superb performance and the pleasure of driving in the
open air. The result is the best-performing spider ever created by
Ferrari, a car which evokes the emotions of the barchetta models that
were the protagonists of the great multi-stage races of the 1950s. The
car's technological solutions, make the most of the latest innovations
in the 430 Scuderia, derived from Formula 1, to guarantee uncompromising
handling on the road. This is reflected in the name, which is also
connected to Formula 1: a celebration of the 16 World Constructors'
Titles Ferrari have won. The Scuderia Spider 16M is a marriage of
performance and driving pleasure produced in a special, limited edition
for only 499 passionate customers.
PERFORMANCE
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M offers technological solutions that have
already been tested on the 430 Scuderia. It's an ultra-high-performance
car (0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds) designed for fast, tight driving
conditions with a set-up that highlights sports driving and that offers
all the enjoyment of open-top driving in the F430 Spider. In tests at
the Fiorano circuit the car recorded lap times lower than any other
Ferrari spider model designed for the road.
WEIGHT/ POWER
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M weighs 80 kg less than the F430 Spider
(dry weight 1340 kg) and many details were revised and designed with
this specific goal in mind. The most significant changes were made on
the chassis and on the body, much use has been made of light materials
and carbon fiber. All this has made it possible to achieve a
first-in-class power-to-weight ratio of 5.8 lb/CV.
ENGINE
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M's engine, like the 430 Scuderia's, is an
evolution of the F430's 4.3-litre V8. It features a number of
modifications designed to boost performance and raise specific power to
118 CV/l, equal to a total power output of 510 CV, while complying with
the strict limits on exhaust emissions established in the Euro4 and LEV2
standards.
SOUND
Engine sound is a distinctive characteristic of all Ferraris and has
always been a fundamental element in creating a strong connection with
the driver through increased feedback and driving satisfaction. This is
achieved by paying special attention to the level and to the quality of
sound, in order to ensure perfect acoustic comfort under any conditions.
GEARBOX
The F1-SuperFast2 gearbox is the latest evolution derived from Formula
1: a totally innovative integrated engine and gearbox management
programme allows the combined disengaging/engaging of the gears to take
place in parallel with letting the clutch in and out. As a result,
gear-change time has been even further reduced to 60 milliseconds.
E-DIFF
In use in Formula 1 for a number of years, E-Diff has been integrated
with the car's stability control systems. Torque is intelligently
distributed to the wheels by the hydraulic actuation of two sets of
friction discs and their connected reaction discs. The amount of torque
delivered depends on driving conditions, modifying the effect of the
differential and bringing considerable advantages in terms of
performance, directional stability, active safety and driving pleasure.
E-Diff is integrated with the car's other systems and allows the driver
to change the set-up according to road-holding conditions from the
steering wheel-mounted manettino.
F1-TRAC
F1-Trac, like E-Diff, is the traction control system directly derived
from the experience of Formula 1 cars. The system guarantees maximum
traction on exiting corners, stability and ease of driving even in
extreme conditions, consistent performance, and drive comfort. The
advantage of the combination of E-Diff and F1-Trac compared to
conventional systems of stability and traction control is shown by a 40%
increase in acceleration out of corners.
RACING MANETTINO
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M uses the Racing version of the manettino,
which puts the emphasis on sporty driving and offers more options for
configuration of the parameters of the car's electronic controls. The
ICE setting used on the F430 has been replaced by the CT position. This
deactivates only traction control, leaving stability control in
operation.
CARBON CERAMIC BRAKES
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M's braking system with carbon ceramic
discs has resulted in an overall improvement in braking performance
compared to that of the F430's system, from which it is derived. The
front discs with their larger diameter allow an improved rolling radius
and hence greater braking efficiency. The front brake pads are specific
to the car and allow improved dissipation of the heat produced by higher
performance. They are also more hard-wearing. The brake pedal feel has
been optimized for all driving conditions and remains consistent even in
extreme situations on the racetrack.
STYLE AND AERODYNAMICS
Traditionally, the styling of a Ferrari has been created around the
forms dictated by the car's engineering, with the aim of obtaining
maximum aerodynamic efficiency. The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M's high
performance and dynamics required a reinterpretation of numerous
elements of both internal and external styling. The objective was to
style the car through those aerodynamic features necessary for a car
designed with the highest levels of performance in mind. Since the 16M
is a Spider, the design kept in mind the needs of driving with the top
down and of the pleasure this should provide. External styling has been
enhanced with numerous details in carbon (front fin, rear-view mirror,
headlight housing, diffuser, roll bar) as well as new colours in
metallic black body and dark grey wheel rims. A new livery emphasises
the lines of the car.
AUDIO EQUIPMENT
A new audio system of the latest-generation has been created for the
Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M. The hi-fidelity has an 8x50 watt amplifier
consisting of two woofers, two midrange speakers and two tweeters
integrated in the carbon door panel. The multimedia interface offers a
removable Ferrari-personalised 16GB iPodŽ Touch housed in the centre of
the instrument panel. Alternatively, a BeckerŽ Cascade radio with
Bluetooth and iPodŽ connection is available.23
PERSONALISATION
The Ferrari personalisation programme has been enhanced and matched to
the special features of the car. The programme has four separate areas:
Racing and Track, Exterior and Colours; Interior and Materials,
Equipment and Travel.In the Interior and Materials area it is possible
to select Poltrona FrauŽ leather as an alternative to technical fibre or
AlcantaraŽ. And for this limited edition car there is also a special set
of soft travel bags, a satellite anti-theft system and satellite
navigation. It is also possible to select a "tricolore" livery in the
colours of the italian flag.
