About this car
The 2008 Ferrari F430 Spider presents a striking example of Italian engineering in convertible form, finished in Rosso Corsa exterior paint over a Beige interior. This two-seat convertible measures 177.6 inches in length, 75.7 inches in width, and 48.6 inches in height, delivering an unmistakably low and aggressive profile.
Power comes from a 4.3L V8 engine driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. The powertrain runs on premium unleaded fuel and returns 11 mpg in the city and 16 mpg on the highway, while the overall design emphasizes open-air performance with a rear-wheel-drive layout.
With only 5,951 miles recorded, this F430 Spider remains a low-mileage example ready for enthusiasts seeking a blend of Ferrari heritage and everyday usability in a convertible package.

The Ferrari F430 Spider, introduced in 2005, is the convertible variant of the F430, produced between 2005 and 2009. As a successor to the Ferrari 360 Spider, approximately 6,000 units of the F430 Spider were manufactured, making it relatively rare among Ferrari models and appealing to exotic car collectors. It features a mid-mounted 4.3-liter V8 engine, delivering 483 horsepower and 343 lb-ft of torque, with a top speed of 193 mph and a 0-60 mph time of around 4.1 seconds. The car was offered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an F1-style automated manual gearbox, with the latter being more common.
A notable feature is its electronically operated soft-top roof, which folds away in just 20 seconds, combining open-air driving with Ferrari’s signature performance. The F430 Spider also introduced advanced technologies for its time, such as the E-Diff electronic differential and a steering wheel-mounted “manettino” dial for adjusting driving modes. Its historical significance lies in bridging Ferrari’s analog and modern eras, and today, well-maintained examples are seeing appreciating values, especially manual transmission variants. Special editions, like the 16M Scuderia Spider (limited to 499 units), are particularly sought after by collectors for their enhanced performance and exclusivity.
