The Ferrari 488 Spider is a high-performance convertible that perfectly balances Italian craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. As the open-top variant of the 488 GTB, this supercar offers exhilarating driving dynamics with the added thrill of a retractable hardtop, allowing drivers to experience the full roar of its twin-turbocharged engine in the open air. At its heart, the 488 Spider is powered by a 3.9 litre twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a massive 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. The engine, mounted mid-rear, propels the Spider from 0 to 60 mph in just three seconds, with a top speed of over 200 mph. The seven-speed dual-clutch transmission ensures lightning-fast gear changes, offering a smooth and responsive driving experience. Ferrari's engineers designed the retractable hardtop with a focus on lightweight efficiency. It can be deployed or retracted in just 14 seconds, even while the car is moving at low speeds. Unlike traditional soft tops, this system doesn't compromise the car's aerodynamics or performance. The design retains the aggressive stance of the coupe version, with sculpted lines and a muscular rear that enhance both its aesthetic and functional performance.

Originally registered on 26th April 2017 this Ferrari presents supremely well in the colour combination of special order Celeste Blue with a black roof. The interior is Sabbia leather and to be expected of such a low mileage example, is unmarked. The specification of this Ferrari 488 includes aluminium brake callipers, carbon fibre to the driver zone, dash inserts in carbon fibre, front and rear parking sensors, exterior sill kick plates in carbon fibre and 20” forged painted rims. The 488 is a superb car to drive, the multifunction steering wheel and strategically placed controls ensure that everything is within easy reach, promoting a seamless connection between driver and machine. Advanced aerodynamics play a significant role in the 488 Spider's capabilities. Active aero components, including a prominent rear diffuser and front air intakes, optimize downforce and stability, making it both nimble on winding roads and stable at high speeds. In essence, the Ferrari 488 Spider delivers an exhilarating combination of open-top freedom, breathtaking speed, and the iconic Ferrari driving experience. Consigned by Stewart Banks.
