Unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ferrari 458 Spider
holds a distinguished place in Maranello's history as the first
Ferrari to pair a mid-rear engine layout with a retractable folding
hard top. Crafted from lightweight aluminum, the roof retracts in a
mere fourteen seconds and tucks neatly above the engine, preserving
both the car's sculpted silhouette and its remarkable balance.
Behind the cabin sits a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 that
delivers 561 horsepower and revs eagerly to a spine-tingling 9,000
rpm, its operatic wail all the more intoxicating with the sky
overhead. Power flows through a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch
transmission, operated by steering-wheel paddles that deliver
lightning-quick, seamless shifts. The result is a car that sprints
from zero to 60 mph in roughly three seconds and tops out near 199
mph, yet remains composed and refined enough for a relaxed coastal
cruise.
Delivered new through Ferrari of Washington and finished in
non-metallic Bianco Avus over a Chocolate brown leather interior,
this 458 Spider is richly specified with over $56,000 in factory
options that enhance its aesthetics, materials, and functionality
alike, including carbon fiber rear moulding, suspension lifter,
yellow brake calipers, and Alcantara, among others.
Offered with just 15,208 miles at the time of cataloging, the car
is accompanied by a clean CARFAX Report documenting a history of
regular and meticulous care. It was faithfully serviced by the
original dealer until approaching 4,000 miles in 2019, then
entrusted to the specialists at Exotic Autosport in Franklin,
Tennessee, at 6,783 miles, before passing into the care of Ferrari
of Newport Beach, which maintained it from 7,500 miles in 2022,
with a recent CPO Certification Inspection, in August 2026.
With its low mileage, appealing color combination, and documented
service history, and accompanied by its factory documentation and
tools, this 458 Spider represents a compelling opportunity to
acquire the first Ferrari to feature a mid-rear engine layout with
a retractable folding hard top, a car in which the Prancing Horse
proved that open-air elegance and uncompromising performance could
coexist in perfect harmony.
