Rendered Speculation: Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider
Click for more 430 Scuderia Spider renderings in hi res
Lies. Damn lies and speculation. Rumor would be another way to put it, as word of a potential convertible version of the 430 Scuderia spreads across cyberspace. Tentatively referred to as the 430 Scuderia Spider, the roadster would naturally be based on the lightweight, Enzo-rivaling 430 Scuderia supercar, but with the roof chopped off.
Various reports have given conflicting information about what kind of roof mechanism would be fitted to the Spideria, including a retractable hard-top similar to that found on the new California, a manual cloth roof to keep weight down, or the same automatic fabric top from the conventional F430 Spider. Or maybe no roof at all, who knows. The wide range of speculation leads us to chalk this up to pure rumor. The removal of structural rigidity and the addition of weight would seem antithetical to the Scuderia's entire raison d'etre. However the prevailing reports suggest that the Spider will also get the California's new seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, be produced in a limited series of 300 and be unveiled on November 5 at the Ferrari Challenge weekend in Mugello... the same event where Ferrari unveiled the FXX Evoluzione last year. Jon Sibal, the skilled supercar illustrator we've come to know and trust, has presented a few renderings of what the 430 Scuderia Spider could look like, which in our eye looks right on the money and you can see for yourself in the gallery below.

I don't think I'd even have the monopoly money to buy one :P

With a weakening dollar monopoly money might actually be worth more some day.

Well, I'm sure there's someone out there that will like to set hot laps with the top down.

It reminds me of the people with f430 Spiders, who also have F1 paddle shifters because the P/S "Makes the car faster".

I think ferrari should put a similar body kit on all new f430's
i think it looks so much better
expecially with the spider, it makes it look way more tough

I don't really care for most Ferraris, but that looks just so right in red.

F430 is the best looking Ferrari, and this just adds to the beauty.

The Scud was about where Ferrari lost me...designs and designations (the alpha-numeric names made more sense to me, anyway)
This is more of the same weird proportions and over-done detailing...and it screams out that yer tool is small, too.

actually, I can see the point of a convertible Scud...
while the coupe is the fastest car Ferrari is currently producing, the spider would become a VERY competitive convertible on the market, because it would still be very light compared to other sports convertibles.
