Ferrari to make Scuderia Spyder?
September 4, 2008 by Karl Peskett
Rumours are coming out of Italy today, about Ferrari’s plans to lop the top off the 430 Scuderia, to create a Scuderia Spyder.
The biggest impediment would surely be the weight increase, which is what (apart from extra power) sets the Scuderia apart from the standard F430. The goss is around a 70kg increase in its dry weight, which is a phenomenal figure given the extra bracing required for a convertible conversion.
Also said to be used is the seven-speed dual clutch transmission as seen in the forthcoming California. The report says that the acceleration times from the coupe version shouldn’t decrease. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen.
Ferrari’s Challenge at Mugello is being held on November 5th. This is said to be the date that this car will be unveiled.
So will it work? Or should a Scuderia be strictly hard-top only?
Print it: 
It can’t be a Scuderia if you take the top off it.
Thats just sacrilige!
Hard top only if Ferrari are serious about making proper cars and not some fancy-pants convertible for airheads.
No car should ever be convertible. Name one convertible car that is better looking than its hardtop counterpart.
i dont see reason why world is crazy after cars without roof. cars witout roof look hideous. and here ferrari is going to ruin another one.
Hard top only, a convertible by itself is a compromise. People do it for… whatever reason they do it for. I don’t like convertibles so i can’t really say.
And the scuderia itself is meant to be a no compromise vehicle, i don’t see how a compromised-no compromise vehicle can make sense to ferrari.
