2018 Ferrari 488 Spider Base Convertible

Perfect Auto Collection Signature Listing 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider VIN ZFF80AMA9J0232837 | 14,160 miles Red over red, stitched in black, with the roof folded away. There is no version of a Ferrari more Ferrari than this one. Why We Acquired This Vehicle This car still carries its factory personalization plate, which is the single best document a Ferrari can arrive with. It lists the serial number, the exact configuration, and every option code the original buyer specified - twenty-two of them. Nothing in the description below is inferred from photographs or assumed from a model year. It is read directly off the plate the factory fitted. What that plate describes is a car ordered without hesitation. Carbon fiber runs through the cockpit and across the body, the exhaust was upgraded, the seats and the audio were specified for real use rather than for a spec sheet, and the interior was finished in a special-order stitching color. This is not a car somebody bought from stock. The configuration reads Rosso Corsa DS 322 over Rosso Ferrari, with Nero mats and Nero stitching - the racing red Ferrari has used since it began, over a red cabin, held together by black. At 14,160 miles it has been used as intended and looked after while being used. The verified appointments are detailed in full below.

We ask a simpler question: does it stir something, and would we be proud to keep it in our own collection? This one is difficult to argue with. It is the archetype - the color the marque is known by, the open roof, the twin-turbo V8 immediately behind the seats - and the original order backs the presentation up rather than relying on it. Twenty-two options is a serious build by any measure, and the plate that proves it is bolted to the car. Buyers at this level have learned to discount descriptions that cannot be checked, and this car does not ask them to. Why Enthusiasts Value This Model The 488 brought turbocharging back to Ferrari's mid-engine V8 for the first time since the F40, and it had to prove that nothing essential had been lost in the exchange. It did so with 661 horsepower arriving at 8,000 rpm and throttle response engineered to be effectively immediate - which is why the engine collected award after award rather than apologies. The Spider is where that engine makes its strongest case. Its aluminum retractable hardtop was engineered to preserve the berlinetta's rigidity, so the open car concedes nothing structurally and returns the one thing a coupe cannot deliver at any price. Production ended in 2019 when the F8 took over, and the number of 488 Spiders is now fixed. What buyers are looking for among them is specific: carbon specified with gen
