The open top 16M version assuredly followed the same methodology when it came to increasing the performance capabilities of the car.Beginning with the global enemy of speed—unnecessary weight—many of the frivolous luxury features, like the floormats, were thrown in the bin; all in the effort to gain an extra tenth of second on the racetrack. Furthermore, the Spider received front and rear bumpers that were made even lighter than those found on the Scuderia Coupe. Ferrari fitted the Spider with additional bracing to ensure that the track-oriented vehicle was as rigid as it could be. All in all, the 16M was 170lbs lighter than the standard car. Moreover, the 16M featured a set of 5-spoke forged wheels that helped to greatly reduce the unsprung mass. Beyond the diet, the engineers in Maranello worked over the engine to provide an additional 20 horsepower, bringing the grand total to an impressive 503bhp. Controlling this immense power was the latest generation of Ferrari's traction and stability control systems that allowed the pilot of the vehicle to dial in precisely the amount of slip they'd like attacking the corners of a race track. The result of this extensive performance regime allowed the 16M to achieve a lap time within striking distance of even the Enzo.THE MOTORCAR OFFEREDThe Scuderia Spider 16M presented here left the Maranello production line finished in Corsa Red over a Nero interior with a Black/Grey racing stripe befitting of a car with track use in mind. This U.S. specification car was originally delivered new to Dublin, Ohio. The vehicle was optioned with red brake calipers, gauges in red, handy fire extinguisher, Bluetooth radio/nav system, and all stitchings in color. The vehicle was delivered new to the Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley, New York, but for the past half-decade, the Ferrari has remained under the care of a Greenwich, CT, based collector. As shown in the invoices on file, the car has since been maintained by Miller Motorcars, and today, shows roughly 8,000 miles on the odometer. Please note, that while the Carfax includes a damage report, this in connection to a scratched rear bumper being repainted. The Scuderia Spider 16M represented the rawest driving experience offered by Ferrari at the time of release. It accomplished this by incorporating many of the technologies that help the famed Italian firm to countless Formula 1 victories in the 2000s. Additionally, the lack of roof provided an unobstructed sensory experience. Just 499 of these supercars were sold worldwide, making them endlessly desirable to Tifosi and collectors alike. Short of buying a full stop race car, the Scuderia is sure to provide just as many thrills, all while wearing a license plate.
