Need for Speed SHIFT CAR OF THE DAY Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M

Unveiled to commemorate Ferrari’s 16th Formula One Constructors’ Championship in 2008, the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M is a very limited production vehicle, with only 499 examples to be built and owners taking deliveries starting in 2009.

As a convertible version of the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, the 16M borrows most of its styling cues from its attractive and shapely sister but the comparisons end there.

Under the hood, the 16M has slightly less power than the Scuderia, with its 510-horse 4.3-liter Ferrari V8 doing the heavy lifting. It tears up the track, running from 0-60 in only 3.7 seconds with a top speed nearing 200 mph.

Despite its extra curb weight, 16M has more power than the Scuderia coupe. At around 3,200 pounds due to the peripherals involved with having a convertible top, this car is no delicate flower, but it’s very, very fast.

With its swooping yet modern lines, the 16M is a car that will be beautiful long past the end of its production cycle.

Despite its hefty weight, 16M is still more than 150 pounds lighter than the standard F430 Spider, which helps it considerably in the twisties.

As a special edition car, you’ll be hard-pressed to ever find a 16M on public roads, but if you get the Ferrari Racing Series for Need for Speed SHIFT, you can have one all to yourself.
