Description
Lot #682 - The Ferrari 458 Italia is an unbelievable exotic car in its own right, but the Spider takes all of the superlatives of the original car and adds a retractable hardtop. With the top able to open and close in under 14 seconds at the push of a button, there appear to be no drawbacks to it at all when compared to its fixed-roof sibling. Motivating this extremely low-mileage Italian exotic is a 4.5-liter V8 that produces an astounding 562hp at 9,000 rpm, which is good for a sprint to 60 in 3.3 seconds, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The sound of the tri-tip exhaust system while the top is down is truly intoxicating, and will leave any driver wanting to come back for more. As expected from a car of this caliber, nearly all interior surfaces are covered in supple leather or suede, with red stitching to accent. The original price of the Ferrari was over $318,000 and included over $60,000 in very sought-after options like the leather and Alcantara interior, suspension lifting system, carbon-fiber steering wheel with performance controls, navigation, automatic climate control and power heated seats with driver memory. This Ferrari was purchased new. Included are all of the original factory manuals, Ferrari service records and, of course, the clean CARFAX report. 1,550 actual miles.
