Ferrari 488 Pista Spider

The Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, unveiled to the world during the 2018 edition of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®, is the 50th open car model produced by the Maranello-based company. Like the coupé version, this car is not just a special series: indeed, the 488 Pista Spider is the highest performing eight-cylinder open-top model ever made by Ferrari.

Just like the 488 Pista, the 488 Pista Spider is closely derived from the racing model: its engine, aerodynamics and dynamics are the result of the skills developed by Ferrari over the years of activity on tracks around the world.

Developed from the 488 Challenge, in the Prancing Horse's single-make series, and the 488 GTE, which won the GT class of the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2017, the 488 Pista Spider is for any Ferrari driver looking for exceptional performance in open-top driving, cradled by the sound of the Ferrari V8 turbo, a real benchmark not only for engines with this architecture, but also for aspirated ones. It was also the winner of the "International Engine of the Year" award from 2016 to 2018 and named "Best of the Best" as the best engine among all the winners of the last 20 years.

Pure racing style interior

In a car so strongly derived from the racing world as the Ferrari 488 Pista Spider, the interior could only be a triumph of essentiality. Carbon and Alcantara dominate the cockpit, combining perfectly with the refinement typical of Prancing Horse cars, seen in details such as hand stitching in contrasting colours, tread plates and heel rests in triangular pattern aluminium and the sculpted door panels.
