The Appeal
Until the 458 Spider the challenge of how to incorporate modern folding hardtop technology into a Ferrari supercar always eluded the firm. Any solution added weight.
With the 458 they solved the problem. The world’s first mid-rear engine car with a folding hard top, it somehow managed to incorporate this technology in a mechanism that was 25kg lighter than the Spider soft top it replaced.
That innovation meant the Spider retained all the lightweight, agile and brutally quick qualities of its coupe counterpart.
Combining classic Rosso Scuderia paintwork with a Rosso Ferrari leather interior, this well maintained 458 Spider is in superb condition. It demonstrates every inch of why these cars are so revered by collectors and looks ready to reward the buyer.

The 458 was a particular triumph for Ferrari’s designers, evoking the earlier cars but bringing the styling firmly up to date. Inside the enduring challenge of balancing form and function is achieved with aplomb, delivering a beautifully detailed yet purposeful layout for the driver.
Ferrari’s heavy emphasi on bespoking cars for buyers means each one is subtly different. This particular car was cleverly specified at the factory, blending contrasting tones with complementary ones across its classic Rosso Scuderia paintwork and beguiling Rosso Ferrari interior.
It is all in superb condition, exhibiting few if any signs of wear that reflects the care and attention of its owners.
The Mechanics
- 4,497cc F136 V8 engine delivering 560bhp
- 7spd dual clutch automatic gearbox with sequential shift options
- Full Ferrari service history with less than 1,000kms since last attention
The F136 naturally aspirated V8 under the rear of the 458 is a peach of an engine, offering up smooth, sinuous performance to the tune of 560bhp. Normally a convertible would blunt that performance by adding weight but Ferrari’s engineers cleverly avoided that pitfall. Consequently the Spider retains the lightweight ethos of the car and matches the coupe for performance.
This car comes to us with full Ferrari service history which is helpfully documented in the photographs. It was last serviced less than 1,000 kms ago and shows regular servicing at approximately 10,000 mile intervals as required by Ferrari.
