Ferrari 488 Spider
The Ferrari 488 is the car that killed off the naturally aspirated V8 found in the 458 today. We have this 488 spider here, which means it's a hardtop convertible the 488 gets a 3.9 liter twin-turbo V8 making 661 horsepower and 561 pound-feet of torque. It has a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission rear-wheel-drive only 60 happens in under three seconds and a top speed of over 200 miles an hour. This car had a base price of $285,000, but it's very easy to put well over 50 Grand and options on this car the specific ones stickered for around $345,000 find it very amusing. You can see how well option your Ferrari is by opening up the front trunk. This is a metal plaque that has all these lists of every option on the car also for window stickers on Ferraris. There are so many options they run out of space until at the very end.
There's one line out of this says other options $23,000.
So very expensive very fast. Very cool Ferrari. Let's hop in the car and see how it drives.
Well, since this is a froy let's start by talking about how it is to drive.
The power is addicting. It's a lot a ton more torque due to the forced induction and it's not like you would expect like older turbochargers. Where you got nothing lag all of a sudden to blow the tires off? It's actually very linear Power Band and I really really enjoyed tracking it. It's very precise it goes where you want to go. It doesn't like understeer crazily. It puts the power down as a really Advanced traction control system stability control system. This is a very very friendly car to drive and now on the road. It's actually still very comfortable.
The suspension is not unreasonably firm. You could daily drive this car if you were about the level of a baller. It's not insanely harsh you.
See all of it. Really? Well, that's something Ferraris do really well now you notice that as soon as you get into feeling spacious when you're in something like a Lamborghini Huracan, you're like very cramped. You can't really see out of it. I could not sit up with a race helmet on in the Huracan. I was kind of bending over slightly 488 there is a ton more space a lot more friendly. The transmission is great. The 7-speed dual-clutch pulls off really quick shifts everything about it is really really nice to drive on the road. And on the track now, we also have to talk about how it looks. I didn't love it as much when it first came out. I just wasn't a huge fan of the front styling. I thought the 458 looked a little bit better. I don't like those two vertical kinds of pillar things in the front around back. It looks really good.
It's got a ton of carbon fiber pieces. You've got even like the gas cap doors carbon all the Carbon Trim on the inside of 488 it feels very similar 2458. They kind of just didn't Evolution on it. The steering wheel has a lot to do. There's almost like nothing else for the rest of the car. You've got and just start-stop your suspension your headlight your turn signals. You get the volume buttons on the bag yet the mode control stuff bunch of wipers.
Everything is on a steering wheel itself is quite nice too It's Perfectly sized. It's got the LED shift lights on the carbon here that kind of lets you know, when you are approaching red line, that's also very nice.
It's friendly you could take it on a road trip.
The inside of the Ferrari is obviously going to be a nice place to be a lot of cross stitching leather carbon fiber and I think the biggest thing I touched on earlier is how open it feels you don't feel claustrophobic and crammed in you feel like you can set up even though somebody was six foot three. You don't need to be a tiny little five-foot-ten Italian race car driver sighs person to fit in a Supercar like this. It's friendly you could take it on a road trip. If you wanted the front trunk is very very spacious. You can put a ton of stuff in there versus an all-wheel-drive Supercar like an R8 or a Lamborghini there. The tiny front drug you can fit like a backpack and then you had the capacity. This is more usable more practical. And that's what it is about that twin-turbo V8 pushing out 661 horsepower and that 591 pound-feet of torque. This thing is quick. It's a 10-second quarter-mile car 60 in under three seconds of rear-wheel drive and that's why they want the for seduction na the 458 is fast but doesn't have that punch that it gives you and this thing like I've already said is so refined and usable you can do that. It doesn't feel intimidating. It's a very friendly supercar and it's very fast compared
It's a very friendly supercar and it's very fast compared to its competitors like a Huracan or McLaren now, I've tracked 570s 488 spider or 48 Coop Lamborghini Huracan did the Ferrari into her come back to back and I preferred the Ferrari. I think I like rear-wheel-drive little bit lighter more Nimble cars around the track. I think one of my favorite ones I've ever tracked as a Porsche GT3 so that type of vehicle and the 488 really does fulfill that we can talk about value. But I mean, that's very very expensive. Of what can't be said for Ferrari is they tend to hold value much better than some of their competitors.
Obviously the McLaren McLaren's drop-off and Valley faster. You could throw him off a cliff there depreciate extremely hard Lamborghinis still do not as fast when Clarence but definitely worse than Ferraris Ferraris tend to hold value play. Well, you look at four-five eight prices. You want a really nice one it still likes 160 even more for some of the convertibles like over 200 for really nice to expect for 58 spiders. Now, this started at $345,000 and it's 60 Grand and options which is just crazy.
The collectability is really nice for the Ferraris there. I mean, it's a really good choice and after driving on the street and having driven around the track. I think I'm slightly changing. My opinion in terms of the 458 is better for the longest time. I'm almost in every situation newer is better, but the 458 was one of those examples of a car where I thought the older was better because it's naturally aspirated. It feels it's the Of a Dying Breed of n a supercars, but I can see if this is the car gonna drive and probably end up flipping into a fa not keep it forever before Ada does improve and almost every single way it's faster has better technology.
