Love these New 5 Stars on the Scuderia Spider, but are they strong enough?

Simple answer: Yes. Otherwise they wouldn't be on a production car if someone on Ferrari hasn't f:ed up.

Reminds me of the 355, very classy yet simplistic sport.

If Enzo was still running the shop, someone would've been shot for even considering creating this abomination.

I get Mercedes vibes seeing a "hardcore" street car...that's a cab. Feels a bit half-assed and only done to sell more cars, even though it might damage the marque.

I love the wheels. With all the new age materials these days, I'm sure the wheels are small enough.

As for the topless iteration of the Scuderia, I think it's great. Some of Ferrari's earliest cars were barchettas. And with engineering design these days, I bet there's a whole lot of structural rigidity lost in a topless sports car. Now I think the 16-gig iPod Touch is a bit unnecessary. And if the car came with Starbucks-sponsored cup holders, I'd be up in arms. But as it stands now, I think the car is a fantastic idea. Pushing the marque's ability to covet your money, but a great addition to the limited edition V8 line nonetheless.

Yes. Very few cars. Spoke to my pusher on Friday and expressed some interest. No call back yet. Truth be told, I'd *prolly* get another cgt before this car.
