The profile looks good, but otherwise it's a bit of a mess IMHO.

 

Any pics of it with the roof in place? I take it they have stuck with a fabric roof?

Doesn't look that bad to me and it will sell well for them!

The humps on the back look too far apart though...

 

No fabric roof; here's the headline from the Ferrari site

"The new Ferrari 458 Spider: the world’s first mid-rear engined berlinetta equipped with a retractable hard top"

I can't find any images with the roof in place, but I guess it will look little different from the existing berlinetta...

Good find.

I wonder if the roof doubles as an air-brake...

And I can imagine the beautiful-people being a little miffed; the spider looks pretty much the same (roof up) as the berlinetta and thus it'll be difficult for the proles to notice the difference.

 

 

I was looking forward to this release
But that's a bit of a let down

Its a Renault Wind with a bigger engine
I doubt that will be movable on the move
For me the styling is all over the place - shame

 

Roof up it looks the same from the side but will have a Gallardo style vertical rear window bit

 

Nope Ferrari have boobed here. Spiders are normally drop dead but this ones a miss. The car looks shocking on that first picture with the rear looking very "awkward"

Gutted as I was really looking forward to the launch of this one.

Will be suprised if they shift many of these. By comparison the 458 italia tintop is much better looking

 

but the spider *IS* a tintop is a spider is a t ...
