Introduced in 2011, the 458 Spider brought open-air motoring to Ferrari's acclaimed 458 platform while retaining the same naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 and 7-speed dual-clutch transmission found in the 458 Italia. Its retractable aluminum hardtop, the first of its kind on a mid-engine Ferrari road car, could be raised or lowered in just fourteen seconds at speeds up to 30 mph. Production continued through the 2015 model year before Ferrari transitioned to the turbocharged 488 generation. As a result, the 458 family represents Ferrari's final naturally aspirated mid-engine V8 road car.
The high-revving F136F V8 produces 562 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, delivered exclusively to the rear wheels through Ferrari's dual-clutch F1 transmission. With a 9,000-rpm redline, a 0-60 mph time of approximately 3.0 seconds, and a top speed approaching 199 mph, the 458 Spider combined supercar performance with the immediacy, razor-sharp handling, and character that defined Ferrari's naturally aspirated era. Against contemporaries such as the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder and McLaren MP4-12C Spider, it remained unique in pairing a naturally aspirated V8 with rear-wheel drive and a retractable aluminum hardtop.
Finished in the timeless Ferrari combination of Rosso Corsa over Beige leather, this particular example features Daytona-style seats with red contrast stitching, embroidered Cavallinos on the headrests, carbon fiber interior trim, and Ferrari's signature yellow tachometer. The retractable hardtop preserves the coupe's elegant profile when raised while allowing open-air driving at the touch of a button. Full-body paint protection film has been applied and remains in place.
Delivered new in Hawaii in 2014, the car has since benefited from documented maintenance through authorized Ferrari dealers, including Ferrari Maserati of Fort Lauderdale. Service records indicate regular inspections, brake system maintenance, cooling system servicing, battery replacement, and recall completion. No open recalls, accidents, damage reports, or title brands appear on either CARFAX or AutoCheck.
With just 10,242 miles, documented Ferrari dealer servicing, clean CARFAX and AutoCheck reports, desirable factory options, and one of Ferrari's most enduring color combinations and stunning Pininfarina design, this 458 Spider represents an increasingly sought-after example of the Italian marque's final naturally aspirated mid-engine V8 in convertible form.
