About this car
The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, introduced in 2018 at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, is the convertible variant of the 488 Pista and represents Ferrari’s most powerful V8 convertible at the time of its launch. Production spanned from 2018 to 2020, with an estimated 500-600 units produced, though exact numbers are not officially disclosed by Ferrari. This limited production enhances its appeal among exotic car collectors, as scarcity often drives value appreciation in the secondary market, where well-maintained examples frequently command premiums over the original MSRP of approximately $350,000.
Powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, the 488 Pista Spider delivers 710 horsepower and 568 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. It achieves 0-60 mph in 2.85 seconds and a top speed of over 211 mph, showcasing track-inspired performance derived from Ferrari’s racing heritage. Unique features include extensive use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber, reducing weight by about 200 pounds compared to the standard 488 Spider. As Ferrari’s 50th drop-top model, it holds historical significance, making it a sought-after piece for collectors valuing both performance and milestone status.
