Ferrari lifted the covers off the new 458 Spider featuring an aluminum retractable roof that opens and closes in 14 seconeds.
Also, the roof and the mechanism weighs almost 25 kg less than the conventional fabric soft top. The compact design has also allowed Ferrari engineers to incorporate the car with a luggage storage compartment behind the seats. The convertible is fitted with Ferrari’s award winning 4.5 liter V8 engine. Other than the roof, the Ferrari 458 Spider is almost identical to its hardtop sibling: the 458 Italia. The convertible is expected to carry a base price tag higher than the hardtop 458 Italia, which starts at $227,325.
Thanks to its innovative design, the 458 Spider only weighs around 111 pounds more than the berlinetta.
