Limited Edition 575M Superamerica

The Pininfarina-designed Ferrari Superamerica combines Ferrari 12-cylinder berlinetta power with a highly original, innovative, on the convertible bond concept.

The Super America is the first production car to employ an innovative rotating roof movement in combination with electrochromic technology developed exclusively for glass surfaces of these dimensions with Saint Gobain.

The Fioravanti patented electric rotating roof movement allows the Superamerica driver to the top in 10 seconds flat, making it the world's fastest convertible berlinetta (200 mph maximum speed).



From the 575M Maranello, Super America is either an F1-style or manual gearbox. Its big 12-cylinder engine has been enhanced to deliver 540 hp. 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.

The Superamerica's unusual electric roof has been dubbed Revocromico to the unique combination of his back rotation movement and electrochromic technology. It has a carbon fiber structure and the boot process capacity remains unchanged whether the roof is open or closed. The glass rear window also acts as a highly effective wind deflector when the roof is open.

The use of electrochromic glass means that the driver can completely control the level of light in the cockpit. There are five tint levels available and the glass can from dark to light in less than a minute at the push of a button.
