Ferrari Scuderia Helmet

trev0006 · 08-01-2008

If you have the money, good taste, and connections to score the 510 hp F430 Scuderia, you likely know what the lightweight supercar from Maranello is capable of. When Ferrari decides to produce an exotic with 60 millisecond shifts and a 5.4 pound-per-pony ratio, you just know that it's track worthy. That means you're going to need something to protect your noggin when you head out to the road course. German helmet maker Schuberth Helme was commissioned to create head gear that exudes Ferrari coolness while also providing comfortable, lightweight protection for the driver. A quick glance at the photo above proves the mission was accomplished.

The helmet sports the dual racing strip of the Scuderia, and the exposed carbon fiber is good looking enough to negate the need for any manner of paint decoration. Four slotted air vents keep the head cool, and since the helmet is made of carbon fiber, its total weight is a little over two pounds. The helmet also sports a UV-protected visor to keep the sun out of your eyes, too. If you've got the money to spring for a Scuderia, you may as well go the extra mile and get one of the coolest-looking helmets on earth, regardless of the cost.

blah. i dont like the way that looks at all. the only reason people like that is because of the ferrari badge on the front. its not even a full face helmet. this one is much cooler/better and safer.

...looksl ike if you tint the front visor, you will be a member of COBRA (the enemy that G.I. Joe was always fighting!)

definitely have to agree with Rennen open face helmets are dumb and the Ferrari one has no imagination to it it wouldn't have killed them to hit it with an air brush and make it a full face.

Maybe Ferrari had Fiat design it and they couldn't afford to make the whole thing lol

most people who can afford ferraris dont buy them for their actual performance and almost never apreciate then for what they truly are....

....those people buy them because they got too much $$$ and want a status car.

.....anyways, bout the helmet, that is not a true racing helmet......because if you ask any biker, tracker...etc... those stupid lense will eventually fogg up.

I've always felt that helmets are supposed to express whom is on the inside. I don't think i'd opt for one of those helmets. cool though...

It looks nice but a full face helmet is way better not mention that the helmet looks like the one the the factory ferrari f1 pit crew uses but its not red. and plus im a mcclearen fan and their pit crew helmets rock

mcclearen fan??? lol...sorry, but if you're a fan of a car company, shouldn't you know how to spell it? IT'S McLaren

but yeah, the helmet looks more like one for the pit crew, or for a moped.... guess they're trying something with 'italian design' (fashion and all)
