Ferrari 458 italia spider 2012

Sunday, January 22, 2012

New Ferrari in 2012,Ferrari 458 Italia spider,with new specification this car use naturally-aspirated 4.5 Litre V8 engine it comes mated to a seven-speed dual clutch transmission outputting 540 Nm (398 lbs/ft) at 6000 rpm and can produce 570 hp (419 kW) at 9,000 rpm,with Total displacement 4499 cc (274.5 cu in.) and this car have Compression ratio12.5:1.

Made entirely from aluminum, the 458 Spider’s top apparatus weighs 55 pounds less than a traditional soft-top and opens and closes in a fast-for-a-hardtop 14 seconds. Altogether, Ferrari says the 458 Spider (it dropped the Italia in all the convertible’s press materials) is 111 pounds heavier than the coupe for a dry weight of 3,153 pounds; we anticipate its curb weight to be around 3,400 pounds. Ferrari says it will run zero-to-62 mph in 3.5 seconds and top out at more than 198 mph, a modest increase of 0.1 of a second and decrease of four miles per hour compared to the coupe.

For maximum comfort while driving with the top down, the 458 Spider features a generously sized adjustable electric wind stop to allow for normal conversations even at speeds in excess of 124 mph; but, at that velocity, we doubt people are in great debates, unless the driver’s need for speed has the other shouting to slow down.

The sublime F430 is a pretty tough act to follow, but with the original 458 Italia and now with the 458 Spider, Ferrari has surpassed most people’s expectations while raising the bar on the other exotic-car manufacturers.

Price for the 2012 Ferrari 458 Italia Spider start at $257,000, or about 15 percent more than the Ferrari 458 Italia Coupe.
