2012 FERRARI 458 SPIDER HOT NEW DESIGN

The convertible version of the Italia Ferrari 458 fills the space left by the F430 Spider and spider 360, 355 and 348 before. But while they have with fabric roofs, the latest variation on the theme uses a fold - or more accurately, turning - Hardboard. The mechanism is equal to a Super America, but while the roof panel of the model just below the open pit on the back deck, the 458 ranks below the deck lid, which protects it from dust or rain collection which would otherwise be deposited on the driver and passenger when deployed.

The function is simpler than most folding thingies and the resulting shape is more pleasing to the eye as well, but the only drawback is that the 4.5-liter V8 with direct injection (with all its prancing horses and 562 marks cracked red cam cover) is now hidden under the bridge rather than demonstrated that the F458 coupé Italia. As is only to show that even if you come close to having your cake and eat it too proverbial, even this level of performance roadster has its compromises. It seems to us that we could live with. You know, if we really should.
