Ferrari's upcoming 458 Italia Spider Will debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show at the beginning of next month.
Ferrar is also working on a sportier version known as the 458 Scuderia. No details on what type of performance upgrades we’ll see but expect the 458 Italia Scuderia to shed some pounds.
The 458 Italia Spider will still have Ferrari’s 570bhp V8 and stunning performance. Yes, the edge will come off that performance a little because the roof mechanism will be heavier and, we assume, Ferrari will have to stiffen up the 458 with an RSJ or two. But it will still be very quick.
The convertible 458 can be expected to benefit from chassis reinforcement to ensure the roof's absence does not rob the car of the track-ready handling Ferrari has engineered into the 458 Italia hardtop.
The V8 is rated at 570 horsepower at 9,000 rpm and 540Nm or 398.2 lb-ft of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. Power will be sent to the rear wheels through Ferrari's 7-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox.
