The 2012 Ferrari 458 Spider
This is what your next most wanted will look like!
Thank you to members Wild-Speed and D55L
We have again officially confirmed information on the highly anticipated Ferrari 458 Italia Spider that was shown to a select group last week in Maranello. Our source tells us that the two cars shown were Rosso/Tan and Nero/Tan. The unveiling will be this fall, and the car will feature a unique, retractable hardtop, production beginning right after the New Year holidays.
First EU deliveries will be at the end of the first quarter, while UK deliveries will be at the beginning the third quarter. We do not have the exact date for the US market, but we expect it to follow the UK. Pricing has yet to be discussed, but we gather it's safe to tack on another $40k USD to the coupe's base price.
Power will be carried over from the coupe version but expect some technological improvements to keep the 458 Italia ahead of the competition. This is the first time, since the 355 Spider which ceased production in 1999, that we will not see a clear engine cover on the rear deck-lid of the two seater Ferrari spider variant.
Below are some remarkable renderings from teamspeed.com member Wild-Speed, as described in detail by our source who viewed the cars so, yes, it's accurate! Start calling your dealers now to make sure you have a spot!
