The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M completed the Goodwood Hillclimb in just 59 seconds
This weekend saw the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK – a petrol-head’s delight – with some of the finest cars – new and old- attending the event.
One of the major attractions is the Goodwood Hillclimb, where cars tackle a 1.16 mile uphill course through the Parklands of Goodwood House. Cars race along an avenue of trees, past the front of Goodwood House and up a steep estate road – lined with flint walls and woodland – to arrive at the finish on Goodwood’s Equine Racecourse, overlooking the South Downs.
Practice takes place throughout the weekend, with up to 200 cars competing. And this year one of those was the convertible version of the Ferrari Scuderia – The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, which set a blistering time of just 59 seconds.
The Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M has a twin-turbocharged V8 putting out 696bhp at 8400rpm. It will hit 60mph in just 3.5 seconds and up to a top speed somewhere just north of 200mph (not that it hit those sorts of speed up the Goodwood Hillclimb!). No wonder it set such a cracking time.
But with a relatively rare beast such as the Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M – and the fact that Ferrari sent us a bunch of videos of Ferraris at Goodwood this morning – we thought you’d like to see the Hillclimb on Video. Enjoy.
