The Model: When Ferrari replaced what was a well-liked car, the
F430, they started from scratch,debuting the F458 at the Frankfurt
Motor Show in 2009. The new car featured sleek, modern lines and
was powered by a direct-injection V8, a first for the company's
mid-engined cars. While some balked at the lack of a manual
transmission, the car's performance was undeniable. Every once in
awhile, a car company makes something that is truly special, and
even less frequently they continue to make it better. �When Ferrari
replaced the F430 with the F458, anyone who was lucky enough to get
behind the wheel of one was pretty sure that Ferrari had created an
almost perfect car. �But then 2011 rolled around and Ferrari upped
the ante. �They added a button you could push to make the car do a
little dance that's end result was a topless version of the car you
started with. �Often, the "real car guys" won't take a second look
at the convertible version of a sports car, saying they weigh more
and don't handle as well. �Well, Ferarri shhhed those nay-sayers
with the F458 Spider. �All of the reinforcements and mechanical
gadgetry that make the top tuck away neatly behind the driver only
add 100 pounds to the 570 hp car. �So how much did it affect the
zero to 60 time? It didn't, both the hardtop and soft top versions
blast to 60 MPH in 2.9 seconds.

The Car: The Rosso Corsa paint laid at the Maranello factory
remains nearly perfect on this drop-top Ferrari, contrasted nicely
by giant yellow brake calipers. Inside, you'll find a virtually
unused space that vaguely resembles the cockpit of a fighter jet,
if you covered it in fine Italian-leather and Alcantara. �With just
under 10 thousand miles this Italian is ready to stretch its legs
and run. Wise speculators and drivers who demand more from a Sunday
cruise will be raising their hands for this supercar; let everyone
know that you are one or the other by raising yours. � � �
