2019 FERRARI 488

The Ferrari 488 Spider represents the perfect fusion of breathtaking performance and open-top exhilaration, combining Ferrari’s celebrated mid-engined V8 architecture with the drama and usability of a retractable hardtop convertible. Widely regarded as one of the defining modern-era Ferrari Spiders, the 488 Spider delivers supercar performance alongside everyday usability and unmistakable Italian style.

Powered by a 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 661 bhp, the 488 Spider is capable of accelerating from 0–60 mph in just 3.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 203 mph. Paired with Ferrari’s lightning-fast 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, it offers immense performance, razor-sharp throttle response, exceptional agility, and a soundtrack that remains true to Ferrari’s iconic heritage.

As the first turbocharged mid-engined Ferrari Spider since the legendary F40, the 488 marked a significant chapter in Ferrari’s history, successfully blending modern turbocharged performance with the emotion and character expected of an open-top Ferrari supercar. The retractable hardtop folds seamlessly in just 14 seconds, allowing occupants to enjoy the full theatre of the twin-turbocharged V8 while retaining the elegance and refinement of a coupé when closed.
