Ferrari has made it official that it will launch its newest Spider model at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show in September. As a reminder, the recently introduced 488 Spider is Ferrari’s most powerful mid-engined V8 car to feature a retractable hard top.
The Italian brand’s modern retractable hard top technology ensures lower weight and better cockpit comfort compared to the classic fabric soft-top. Like previous Spider versions, Ferrari says this is a car that is aimed squarely at buyers seeking open-air driving pleasure in a high-performance sports car with an unmistakable Ferrari engine sound.
The 488 Spider houses a 3902cc turbocharged V8 that debuted on the 488 GTB. Thanks to 670bhp of power and 760Nm of torque, this new model can accelerate from zero to 100kmph in 3 seconds flat and from zero to 200kmph in just 8.7 seconds.
The 488 Spider will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and will compete against the convertible version of the McLaren 650S.
