Time For Tea? Ferrari 458 Spider Microsite

While away 10 minutes (or the rest of the day) perusing the finer details of the new drop-top Ferrari courtesy of a most distracting microsite...

---

E' arrivata la nuova 8 cilindri Ferrari. That's Italian for 'look at the new Ferrari 458 Spider: ain't it lovely?'*

This you can now do in depth via Ferrari's very own microsite for the 458 Spider. So make yourself a cuppa (because you've done enough work today already) and explore. And try not to dribble too much...

*We know that it's not

It looks so much nicer than the coupe.

Unfortunately, it still has the 'Dame Edna' headlights!

I need a strong coffee after drooling over this

My thoughts exactly, looks beautiful apart from those awful awful headlights. Ferrari's do not need that chintsy tat, really what were they thinking?

Best ever looking Ferrari convertible? I think so!!!

I have never seen a car so damn good looking roof on / roof off. That alone is an achievement. That it goes even better than it looks is quite incredible!

very nice/clever roofsystem that also looks good top up or down.

That noise can ps off alot of people very quickly.
I want one!

must work harder... must work harder...

Is it too late to put my order in? guess I need that lotto win first. Car looks sweet and that roof gives it best of both worlds.

Best ever looking Ferrari Convertible? That will be the 250 California Spyder SWB

Looks like quite a neat integration without compromising the proportions of the coupe. Shame the coupe was so ugly to start with, really.

[BMWill]

Not really a fan of convertibles, as they screw up the design, compared to the coupe. But this is bang on! If I were in the market for one, I'd take the Spider.

That said, I still don't particularly like this. In fact, after the 360, Ferrari does very little for me.

I think the modern Ferraris have lost something of the classic Ferrari look, especially the interior. I know we have to move with the times and all that but it misses something.

Amazing car, yes, beautiful...i'm afraid i'm don't agree.

FFS... that wasn't in my mind at all, now I can't see anything but.

The 458 is still yet to grow on me, too much going on for my liking.
