For those lucky car junkies who still have a hefty hunk of mad money left there is this new temptation. Ferrari has released an open top version of the F430 Scuderia at the World Finals in Mugello in celebration of its recent victory in the Formula 1 Constructor's World Championship 2008. Ferrari says the Scuderia Spider 16M is the fastest open top model they've ever tested around the Fiorano circuit. It does a 0-to-62 hop in a scant 3.7 seconds. There are 499 of these cars being made, a standard version that is black with gray trim or a tricolour livery is also available as part of the Carrozzeria Scaglietti Personalisation Programme. A special plaque on its rear grille commemorates Ferrari's 16th Constructor's World title. Other features include a roll-bar with carbon-fibre outer shell and an audio system that can be combined with the removable customised Ferrari iPod Touch 16 GB with central dock just in front of the dashboard. How much will it cost? The price hasn't been released yet but as Autoblog mentions, it will undoubtedly be higher than the $277,000 base price of the coupe.
