Ferrari 575M Superamerica

Also known as the Ferrari 575M Super America

Unveiled at the LA and Detroit Auto Shows in 2003, the Superamerica is a targa version of then current 575M. It’s also the first Ferrari to feature a motorized and folding hard top. The name Superamerica extends back into the Ferrari’s history as a name that was given to most exclusive, and powerful luxury models.

Derived from the 575M Maranello, the Superamerica is available with either an F1-style or manual gearbox. Its big 12-cylinder engine has been boosted to deliver 540 hp too. The new car can also be fitted with the GTC Handling package which offers Ferrari’s very latest high-tech features including carbon ceramic brakes.
Designed by Fioravanti, the flip-top roof is made of translucent materials which adjust to vary the amount of light coming into the cockpit. Called Revocromico by Ferrari, the system has five tint levels available and the glass can go from dark to light in under a minute. As the frame for the glass is made from carbon fibre, the Super America can reach very high speeds with the top in the up, or reclined position.

Total production amounted to 559 units; this number followed Enzo Ferrari’s philosophy that there should always be one fewer car available than what the market demanded, only 43 of those had a manual gearbox.
