Title: Ferrari SuperAmerica
Post by: Monster Dave on May 15, 2009, 02:18:31 PM
Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?

It's pretty rare as I understand it, but this flip top looks amazing:

Ironically, I doubt any of them have actually made it to the US.

I remember the original Superamerica of the early '60s, but didn't realize they released a newer edition. Is this one a V-12 as well?

They're really cool in person.  I saw one at the Ferrari stand at the Detroit Auto Show when they were intro'd in '04 or '05.  Never seen one in public, though.  (but I live in MN, so...  [laugh])

It's a basically a 575M with a cool roof deal.  Yes, it's a V12.   [evil]   [thumbsup]

much like ducati, the US is ferrari's largest market. there aren't too many (if any) of their cars that don't make it here.

I have seen one up close.

My bro-in-laws neighbor is a collector.  He has about 9 Ferraris in his garage.  Last time I was there he had just picked up an AM Vanquish.   He's an ENT surgeon out of NYC and makes about 1-1.5 mil a year I was told.
