The second new Ferrari for 2005 is the Pininfarina-designed Superamerica, a two-seat coupe based on the 575M Maranello that can covert to an open-top roadster. The Superamerica has a tint-adjustable, electrochromic one-piece glass roof that rotates rearward and nests into a shallow storage area behind the seats. The completely power-operated process takes just ten seconds.
