Rumors suggest that the new 458 Italia Spyder will make good use of the same folding hardtop found on the Ferrari California. If this is true then we can expect a hard top made from aluminum panels with a cast aluminum weight-bearing structure. This structure has reduced its overall weight and the moving masses involved. The entire opening/closing cycle is completed in just 14 seconds.

It’ safe to say that we’ll find the same 4,499 cc V8 engine mated to an F1 dual-clutch gearbox under the hood of the Spyder version with the same 570 HP at 9,000 rpm and 540 Nm of torque at 6000 rpm as the coupe. The engine delivers an outstanding power output of 127 HP/liter and 120 Nm/liter and only 307 g/km of CO2 with a fuel consumption of just 13.3 l/100 km. As with any other convertible model, the Ferrari 458 Italia Spyder will gain some weight due to the hardtop which will make performance suffer just a bit. The sprint from 0-60 mph will take a tad longer than 3.4 seconds while top speed will sit below 201 mph.
