Icon19 Ferrari 488 Spider Supercar!

Oh" My! AWESOME!!! Love the fold away the electrically operated hardtop roof!

Here were its coolest features...
- The Ferrari 488 Spider is the convertible sibling of the astonishing 488 GTB.
- The 488 Spider delivered an awe-inspiring driving experience and is one of the truly great modern supercars.
- We were also impressed by its sleek lines, melodic V8 engine, and sumptuous cabin.
- Our Ferrari 488 GTB test car carried an as-tested price of $393,000.

Those are not southern California houses, and that lush grass and vegetation does not look San Diego either.

Beautiful lines on that car.

The color is rarely seen "avorio" or ivory paint scheme. Not to my liking…

Blue is my fav for a Ferrari. Seen a 308 at a hotel in Fla, it was awesome.

Great looking car, but terrible color.

Also, ~350k out of my price range.

Probably I'm the only italian guy in the world that remains absolutely lukewarm in front of a Ferrari. Out of this world stunning of course,but give me an Aston Martin or a McLaren anytime. And yes,that color is dreadful,it belongs more to an eastern Europe Ferrari replica workshop..

Thing of beauty. Love the lines on this one. Agree with others, the color...not so much.

Impressive car, not a fan of turbo motors though. Really muffles and chokes the sound of the engine. BUT, very very fast car.

Generally I am an NA guy, but I must admit that I love the sound and performance of the bi turbo in my C43, especially with the top down. I did order the "upgraded" AMG exhaust package and it is actually pretty impressive sounding.

I think Ferrari's should be in any color as long as it's red

I find it amusing when people think a supercar with absurd stats/performance, astronomical price, no practicality, feel like it should have a reasonable color when literally nothing else about the car is reasonable at all.

Are you allowed to post a Ferrari thread without buying one?

I agree with others about the car and the color. I wouldn't be surprised if that color subtracts $100k from the price in the secondary market.
