What is it?

Ferrari says the Scuderia Spider 16M is the highest performance Spider that it’s ever made. Like the fixed-head F430 Scuderia, this car also incorporates what Ferrari calls ‘F1-derived’ technology. This is also a limited edition (499 units) production run. The ‘16M moniker’ refers to Ferrari’s 16 F1 Constructors World Championships, the latest of which was achieved in 2008.

Although the 16M is derived from its fixed-head predecessor, Ferrari has taken the Scuderia concept even further. Despite the additional body strengthening, the 16M is 80kg lighter, tipping the scales at an admirable (for a car of this size and sophistication) 1340kg. Much of this has been achieved by a major overhaul of the double wishbone suspension as well as new dampers and a new steering box. It even gets titanium springs and wheel bolts, a measure of the 16M’s extreme engineering brief. Further weight was shaved back by using new materials for the bumpers, diffuser and aerodynamic undertray.

I saw a red one on the roads the other day. And it did ooze of exclusivity becaus enot only is it an F430 but it's a spider and a Scuderia in-one.
