About this car
The 2017 Ferrari 488 Spider delivers extreme performance wrapped in an open-top design. Powered by a 3.9L turbocharged V8 engine paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, this convertible produces 660 horsepower while offering a refined driving experience. With just 6,250 miles, it combines track-focused engineering with everyday usability through its adaptive suspension, electro-hydraulic power steering, and advanced aerodynamics that generate substantial downforce.
Every element of the 488 Spider emphasizes precision and driver engagement. The powertrain features Variable Torque Management for seamless acceleration, while systems like Slide Slip Control, an electronic limited-slip differential, and magnetic fluid-filled shock absorbers maintain composure at high speeds. The retractable hardtop includes a glass rear window, power wind blocker, and fixed roll-over protection, allowing seamless transitions between open-air and closed-cabin driving without sacrificing structural integrity.
Inside, the handcrafted cabin centers around a driver-focused layout with leather upholstery, aluminum accents, and integrated controls on the sport steering wheel. Standard equipment includes Apple CarPlay, navigation, a harman/kardon audio system with Dolby 5.1, dual-zone automatic climate control, and keyless entry. The exterior carries 20-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with washers, rain-sensing wipers, heated power-folding mirrors, and ceramic brakes for superior stopping power.

The Ferrari 488 GTB, introduced in 2015 as a successor to the 458 Italia, was produced until 2019. Approximately 13,000 units were manufactured, making it relatively common among modern Ferraris, though specific variants and configurations enhance rarity for collectors. This mid-engine sports car marked Ferrari's return to turbocharging for its V8 lineup, featuring a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that delivers 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. It achieves 0-60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and a top speed of over 205 mph, showcasing impressive performance for its era.
For exotic car collectors, the 488 GTB holds appeal due to limited-run variants like the 488 Pista, introduced in 2018 with enhanced performance and track-focused design, producing 710 horsepower. While not as rare as some classic Ferraris, the 488 GTB has seen steady value retention, with low-mileage examples and special editions commanding premiums. Its historical significance lies in blending turbocharged efficiency with Ferrari’s signature driving dynamics, bridging the gap between the naturally aspirated past and modern engineering. Well-documented maintenance and original condition are critical for investment potential in this model.
