The Story

Produced from 2015 to 2019, the Ferrari 488 set a surprising new standard for performance in the Maranello automaker’s lineage of V-8-powered midengine berlinettas. Successor to the superb normally aspirated 4.5L/562 HP 458, the 488 delivered a breathtaking increase in power with a 3.9L twin-turbocharged V-8 rated at 661 HP at 8,000 RPM and 561 lb-ft at just 3,000, figures that, in concert with Ferrari’s fabulous F1 dual-clutch automatic transmission, translated into a zero to 60 MPH time of less than 3 seconds flat and a top speed of 205 MPH. In keeping with tradition, Ferrari soon added a spider version to the lineup to broaden the 488’s appeal, employing advanced rigid hardtop architecture to enable open-air motoring while retaining the 488’s signature attraction: an effortless yet soulful driving experience even on the most challenging venues.

Offered at 7,987 miles, this distinctive 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider guarantees that sensational experience with a combination of immediate power, masterful airflow management and time-honored Ferrari style. Brilliant Bianco Avus paint and contrasting carbon fiber exterior aero trim, Scuderia fender shields, titanium exhaust outlets and 20-inch diamond-forged wheels over yellow brake calipers combine for a dazzling first impression, one elevated by the sporty Rosso Ferrari interior.

In keeping with Ferrari’s philosophy of ensuring a “seamless relationship between driver and car,” the Formula 1-inspired cockpit includes beautifully sculpted Daytona-style electrically adjustable seats with Bianco Cavallino headrest embroidery, leather lower dash and central tunnel upholstery with special stitching, a parking camera display with front and rear parking sensors, and a yellow rev counter placed front and center behind the multifunction steering wheel. Astounding handling, ballistic acceleration and Ferrari style and technology—this 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider has it all.
