Like the coupe, the droptop version of the Italia is equipped with a 4.5-liter V8 rear-mounted engine rated at a whopping 570 horses. Its 7-speed dual-clutch automated manual transmission allows the Italia to launch to 60 in less than 3.4 seconds. The spider maxes out speed at 199 mph. As expected, the Ferrari 458 Italia Spider weighs about 110 pounds more than the coupe.
The upside to this car is that you can hear the roar of the engine much more clearly with the top off. However, the engine is no longer displayed under a transparent cover. Instead, there are aluminum covers that are meant to keep cool air flowing to the engine.
The base price of the 2012 458 Italia Spider is approximately $301,000.
