The Ferrari 458 Spider was the convertible variant of the 458 Italia. The sports car features an aluminum retractable hardtop, which weighs less than the soft roof of the F430 Spider and takes approximately 14 seconds to lower. The 458 Spider offers the same capabilities as the 458 Italia: longitudinal, rear mid-engine and rear-wheel-drive. This vehicle was available for purchase from 2011-2015.
