The spectacular Ferrari 458 Spider was officially revealed in Maranello in early September, but made its public debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show. With its high standard of build quality along with exceptional performance, it is the first-ever mid-engine supercar with a fully retractable hardtop. The rear wheel drive 570-horsepower runs the same highly-strung 4.5-liter V8 engine of 458 Italia. The new 458 Spider has a rigid roof made entirely of aluminum, a first for Maranello, and will be on sale in 2012. ItÆs a unique piece both in reality and in 1:18th scale!
