The Ferrari Superamerica is the first production car to adopt the
Fioravanti-patented rotating roof concept that allows it to drop its top
in just 10 seconds flat, in combination with electrochromic technology
developed exclusively for glass surfaces of these dimensions, with Saint
Gobain.
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 532 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.
The Superamerica's unusual electric roof has been dubbed Revocromico to
highlight the unique combination of its rearward rotation movement and
electrochromic technology. It has a carbon-fibre structure and the boot
capacity remains unchanged whether the roof is open or closed too. 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 entering the cockpit. There are five tint
levels available and the glass can go from dark to light in under a
minute, at the touch of a button.
