A day with the Ferrari 458 Spider
"The Ferrari 458 Spider is set to be the Italian supercar maker’s best-selling model, expected to account for a third of worldwide sales. With expectations that high it can’t afford to disappoint.
And first impressions are good - designed around a fully retractable aluminium hard top the Spider looks just as good as the 458 Italia coupe with the roof up. About the only negative is the roof mechanism robs it of the Coupe’s wonderful see-through engine cover. But with sharp buttresses and a delicately designed rear end, it’s a stunning thing.
But it’s the attractions of open-air motoring that really make this Ferrari such a tantalising prospect and the Spider doesn’t take long to transform. The roof flips backwards – just like the ultra-rare 575M Superamerica – in just 14 seconds, slotting underneath a panel that rises up ahead of the engine cover."
