The elegant looks of 458 Spider have been kept intact in the convertible version. The attractive features will magnetically pull onlookers towards it. The coupe will come embedded with a direct injection 4.5 liter V8 engine under its hoods. The powerful engine will produce 570 horsepower at 9000 rpm. It will generate a torque of 540 Nm (398 lb-ft) at 6000 rpm. This will make the gas guzzling beast snarl like a monster when unleashed on the road. Give 458 Spider 3.4 seconds and see it jump from zero to 60 mph. The coupe will talk speed and can touch a top speed of 198 mph. The rear wheels fetch all the power from a dual clutch F1 paddle shift transmission. The beauty on wheels has a dry weight of 1,430 kgs (3,153 lbs). The engineering of 458 Spider has been given an overhaul to make the convertible a ride to remember.

The outline of this open air car will make hearts skip a beat. If you are a fan of open rides and like to soak yourself in the beauty of nature, then Ferrari 458 Spider is bound to leave you wanting for more. The all new Ferrari features a retractable folding hardtop that has been crafted from aluminum. It is a much better option as against the conventional soft top made from cloth, which ornaments its predecessor. This subtracts a lot of weight and lends a deployment time of just 14 seconds. The hardtop has been fixed in a clever manner and will not cause any hindrance in its performance or aerodynamics. The roof won’t consume much space when packed, which leaves plenty room to place a rear bench. This bench can be used to keep luggage and other stuff.

The sexy coupe makes sure that the passengers get sprinkled with all the comfort. It features a wind stop that can be adjusted electrically. The air in the cockpit slows and diffuses because of the modifiable wind stop. This will let occupants strike a healthy conversation even when the car is spinning at a speed of 125 mph. The curvy creation will make drives all the more fun and add an element of excitement. It will send thrill-chills amongst speed lovers and Ferrari loyalists. So, romance with the sky and let the air kiss your skin while you go out for a spin on Ferrari 458 Spider.
