Ferrari 296 Speciale A

Maranello continues near-twenty-year-old tradition of peeling back the roof on its mid-engined trackday hero The greatest supercars very often don’t make the most perfect sense. Logic would have allowed no need, nearly twenty years ago, for Ferrari to have built a limited-run of 499 open-topped versions of the untamed 430 Scuderia to celebrate the 16th constructor’s championship of its Formula 1 team. Who would want a Scuderia Spider ‘16M’ anyway, when they could just have a lighter, quicker and even more focussed 430 Scuderia coupe instead?As it turned out, the car was admired and demanded enough to spawn several successors, the latest of which - the Ferrari 296 Speciale A (for Aperta) - has gone on sale in parallel with the equivalent Speciale berlinetta (which we drove in Italy last October).
