When rumours of a model as mouthwatering as an open-top version of the Ferrari 430 Scuderia surface, one thing you can guarantee is that the first renderings are not far round the corner. We can now tell you that this corner is now sitting firmly in our rear view mirrors after expert renderer and photoshopper Jon Sibal has put together this small of group of renderings for the world to peer over.
If the rumours are true and the spider variant of the 430 Scuderia does actually make it to production, we could well see it as early November 5th at the Ferrari Challenge at Mugello. A retractable hardtop roof will feature instead of a lighter convertible fabric which means the super light Scuderia Spider will see 70kg added to its dry 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.
No more than 300 units are expected to be produced come production time.

If I were Ferrari, instead of making a retractable hardtop or fabric roof, I'd do without the convertible altogether and make a carbon fiber hard top separate from the car. It's probably not the most practical way to deal with installation and might require two people, but most owners who buy this version aren't making performance/aero dynamics priority #1 anyway; especially considering that it's not going to be an everyday driver.
btw, red should be the mandatory color for all Ferrari's. This spider, if the pics indicate an accurate depiction of the production version, is a stunner!
