Is this the Ferrari 430 Scuderia Spider?

We only told you 2 short days a go that Ferrari are secretly working on an open-top variant of the super limited 430 Scuderia, and what happens? Up pops these few images of what appears to be a 100% production ready prototype. We have to admit there is a pretty slim chance that this is in fact real, this model is probably the work of an extensive tuning package. However you can't argue with the fact it still looks great and offers everyone the opportunity to get an unofficial sample of what the rumoured model may look like.

Should the model complete development and come out of Marenello, we can expect a very limited run of not more than 300 units. It will be fitted with a retractable hard-top roof adding an extra 70kg to its kerb weight. Ferrari will counter this performance dropping weight gain by incorporating its brand new 7-speed dual clutch transmission system which will debut in the brand new Ferrari California.

Rumours flying around the automotive circles state we will see the unveiling of the model at the Ferrari Challenge at Mugello on November 5^th.
