Officially unveiled: Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider 16M

Well, finally they've officially unveiled it, after a FULL TWO MONTHS since we show you all the F430 Scuderia (or whatever namesake manufacturers nowadays likes adding up). What was different then and now, is that those are life pictures whereas these revealed by Ferrari were merely computer generated images (interchangeable color tones) of the exact thing in glorified hues and shadings. The F430 Scuderia Spider 16M was revealed as a celebration to Ferrari's 16th victory on the constructor's championship of F1 following their early celebration before knowing Hamilton took it away from the last corner. Ok back to the car, of course its fast, the name Ferrari itself already warrants that, and the namesake of Scuderia, and all that 430 16M crap just does so adding to the imaginative horizontal pulling effect when one gazes upon it. The 4.3 ltr engine produces 510hp (which doesn't sound like much now) is able to take this prancing horse faster around the Fiorano test track faster even than the F50, in fact its the fastest open top from Ferrari. All this, thanks to the 80kg weight reduction from the F430 Spider (yeah right). Of course, what makes performance editions so much more valuable despite the performance gain, is the sheer 'fulfillness' knowing you won't bump into Paris Hilton driving one next to you with her Chihuahua on the passenger seat, this Scuderia is limited to only 499 units, and of course, its clearly stated (like all 'subtle' performance cars nowadays). Coming to the looks, I'd say its one of the best looking modern Ferraris (as all are sinfully ugly) and if I were to be able to afford it, I would want floor mats for chris sake.
