I know they're amazing cars I gotta tell
you though I don't get the obsession I
mean there are a lot of amazing cars in
the world you see them all here at
Frankfurt but for whatever reason the
slobber fest is here at Ferrari as it
always is but here's the object of
everyone's adoration this time it's the
458 Spyder so here we have the 458 with
the retractable aluminum roof that goes
down in just 14 seconds that's real
speedy it takes the bird little space
they've got a decent area behind the
seats as a cargo bench if you will this
is the first car of its type which is to
say it's a mid rear engine open car that
has this retractable top no one's
combined all those together
of course it's fast as hell four and a
half litre v8 hence the name 458 engine
of the Year for 2011 under three and a
half seconds four zero to 60 when that
top is down notice that rear back
lighter that rear glass windscreen it
automatically adjusts itself to the
perfect position for the best
aerodynamics and least wind buffeting
and because it borrows a page or two
from greener cars it has automatic
start/stop technology to save gas gets
this vehicle up to around 24 mpg while
delivering 570 horsepower not bad
pricing and availability are still TVD
but you know it'll be north of a
standard 458 Italia and that begins at
almost 230 grand okay yeah the more I
look at it
