About this car
The 2009 Ferrari F430 Scuderia Spider 16M delivers open-top supercar performance with its 4.3L V8 engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. Finished in Red over Black Suede, this convertible pairs a fully-lined automatic soft top with a flexible polycarbonate rear window and a wind deflector behind the seats. The car rides on 19-inch silver alloy wheels wrapped in P235/35ZR19 front and P285/35ZR19 rear performance tires, while Scuderia-specific elements include a unique rear bumper with high exhaust tailpipes, distinctive front quarter-panel air vents, and a rear lip spoiler.
Power reaches the road through a 6-speed F1-SuperFast2 electro-hydraulic paddle-shift transmission paired with an adaptive, sport-tuned suspension featuring driver-controlled shock adjustment, front and rear stabilizer bars, and independent wishbone suspension with coil springs. Brembo vented disc brakes provide stopping power, supported by speed-sensing hydraulic power rack-and-pinion steering and an E-Diff2 electronic limited-slip differential with integrated F1-Trac traction and stability control. The bi-xenon headlamps with washers, auto-dimming power heated folding mirrors, and variable-intermittent wipers complete the exterior package.
Inside, racing seats with carbon-fiber shells and Alcantara technical fabric offer fixed head restraints and manual adjustment. Carbon-fiber trim appears on the central tunnel and door inserts, while aluminum flooring and instrument panel inserts add lightweight detail. The leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering wheel incorporates the starter button and manettino, and the cabin includes automatic climate control, power windows with one-touch down, remote keyless entry, and comprehensive instrumentation.
